We are constrained to write this
open letter to Mr President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that he should
quickly and resolutely order his party to halt any plan to violently rig the
August 9 governorship election through the undemocratic process of militarizing
the state and terrorizing its citizens with thugs dressed in military
camouflage shortly before, during and after the election.
Mr
President, we have also been reliably informed by dependable inside sources
within the PDP that a mass arrest and possible assassination, (are in the
works) of top government officials loyal to our party, including our party
elders who are said to be on the hit list of the PDP.
We
are totally astonished by the alleged role of your Ministers of State for
Defense and Police Affairs who are said to be complicit in this demonic plan.
This allegation suggests that the federal government-owned security apparatus
is being planned to be put to illegal and unconstitutional use against the very
same people it is designed to protect.
As
commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
there is practically no way the security apparatus under the charge of these
Ministers can undertake such a major operation without at least the knowledge
of Mr President; which makes the Presidency implicitly involved.
Our
first instinct was to disbelieve this possibility but on second thought we
realized that the entire exercise is being stage-managed by the PDP in support
of Mr President’s second term ambition. What surprises us the most, however, is
that contrary to Mr President’s ascertion that his Presidential ambition was
not worth the blood of any Nigerian citizen, the blood of the Yoruba nation is
already being spilled for the purpose of making Mr President’s ambition a
reality in 2015.
PDP,
with impunity, got away with murder to seize Ekiti State through a fraudulent
electoral process. They are now being encouraged to plan a massacre in Osun.
And a very loud conspiratorial silence is coming from the Presidency that wants
us to believe that it does not accept blood-letting of any Nigerian citizen for
his presidential ambition.
Mr
President, Sir, if you are unaware, which we totally disbelieve, let us give
you a run down of what we know the PDP is planning to do to violently and
fraudulently CAPTURE Osun State on August 9. We are reliably informed by PDP
insider sources that:
1.
PDP will invade Osun State with soldiers and other security forces about a week
before the election in Osun to intimidate the citizens.
2.
A militia force in military camouflage will flood the State and terrorize
citizens. They will be armed for war like terrorists to strike fear into people
and scare most of them from the polling booths.
3.
A PDP hit list for arrest and assassination has been drawn-up (copies attached
to this letter) of top government functionaries and APC party elders. It
perhaps may interest Mr President that top on the PDP hit list of party elders
for assassination is Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the incumbent governor of State of
Osun himself.
4.
Explosives and incendiaries have been amassed by PDP for use in Osun before,
during and after the election. As part of a reign of terror to silence the
people if there is any wide-spread protest against a rigged PDP victory, the
party, which the President incidentally leads, will unleash the combined forces
of the military, police and combat-ready militia on the state, killing, maiming
and setting buildings ablaze.
There
are other sinister plans of the PDP which have been revealed and which will be
put in the public domain in the coming days that tell a terrible tale of the
determination of the PDP to kill Osun citizens so that Omisore could become
governor and Jonathan President.
In
all these, we are even more staggered by the complicity of INEC in the rigging
plan. Suffice it to say that except the Electoral Commission is compromised, no
election can be rigged in Nigeria today given what INEC told us it had put in
place to make elections rig-proof in the country. However when the APC insisted
that all the measures INEC had in place to make the voting rig-proof should be
used in Ekiti and in Osun, the INEC refused to deploy the “card reader” which
is central to the rig-proof mechanism.
Now,
Ekiti election has gone wrong and the entire electoral process is being
challenged albeit after the PDP won a fake victory in a bastardized process.
But all the tricks deployed to make the result different from reality have been
revealed. Which means Ekiti trick can no longer succeed in Osun, which is why
we have been told the PDP is determined to kill citizens to win in August 9.
Mr
President Sir, if there is a river of Yoruba blood spilled in Osun to make PDP
win, will you renounce your ambition for a second term or joyfully announce
your determination to contest in 2015? If you do decide to run, then the PDP’s
militarized election-wining machine will need oceans of Nigerians’ blood for
you to become President of the country for a second term. Mr President that
will be disaster unlimited for Nigeria.
We
are bringing this stark reality to your notice now to at least give you a
mental picture of the dangers ahead. But to avert this we therefore demand the
following:
1.
To stop harassment, intimidation, threat of arrest, indiscriminate arrest of
innocent citizens, party leaders, members and public functionaries in the State
of Osun before, during and after the August 9, 2014 gubernatorial election.
2.
Mr President should call the Ministers of State for Defense and Police Affairs
to order and compel them to make sure the election is as incident free as
possible, and totally stop the use of armed soldiers and combat-kitted militia
ready for war in Osun
3.
We demand as a matter of necessity that INEC be compelled to use the “card
reader” for Osun’s election if the commission will not stand accused of
complicity in PDP’s plans to rig the election. After all, the device is primed
and ready for use. Why is INEC refusing to use it?
4.
The President should give the country and the world guarantees that he is
totally committed to a free fair, peaceful and un-manipulated electoral process
in Osun without which his credibility will further dip and democracy will be
irredeemably at risk.
We
believe that if Mr President means well for this country and its democratic
development, he should dissociate himself from the allegations against his
party plot to rig in Osun and restore confidence by instructing INEC to use the
“Card Reader” to ensure that the voting process is clinically rig-proof, and
the electoral process is not manipulated.
We are sending copies of this letter to all Embassies within the diplomatic circle in Abuja, and we intend to sensitize all foreign election observers of the alleged PDP plots so that they can compare with facts on the ground at least a week to the election when the abnormal things are planned to begin to happen in Osun
Thanking
in advance that you will demonstrate that you are a President who truly will
not allow Nigerian blood to be spilled to fulfill your personal ambition; We
remain in the service of our country and party

Compatriots
