The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Taraba has warned the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state against orchestrating cheap blackmail with alleged plans by the PDP to rig Saturday’s governorship and state assembly elections.
Mr Andeta’rang Irammae, the state Publicity Secretary of the PDP, gave the warning on Tuesday while briefing newsmen in Jalingo.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the APC had earlier accused the PDP of alleged plans to rig the March 18 polls in the state.
Reacting to the allegation, the publicity secretary however admonished the APC to embark on an issue-based campaign rather than resorting to cheap blackmail.
He added that the party had ruled the state since 1999, noting that the people of the state had already developed their confidence in the party.
