The party said workers at the facility were sent home early on Friday, apparently so it could be made ready for use yesterday for a ‘presidency’ assignment.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said in a statement that a concerned Nigerian “alerted us to these developments, and we wonder what a federal government facility can be needed for on election day if it is not part of the facilities designated by INEC for election collation purpose.”
The party asked the security agencies to urgently put the Federal Government Press at Mobil Road in Lagos under surveillance, with a view to stopping any possible illegal activities that may be going on there on this election day.’’
APC said with the avowed desperation of the PDP to capture Lagos State at all cost, it could not be trusted not to resort to underhand activities to manipulate the polls in the state, hence the alarm.
The party also alleged that the phone lines of its key leaders were bombarded with calls from an unknown number with a view to rendering them useless on election day.
It said the calls started coming in early yesterday and were “so persistent that genuine calls could not come in while no calls could be made from the phone lines.”
It said the phone line of the APC National Leader Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was hacked and used to send a message purportedly asking his supporters to vote for President Jonathan.
‘’We urge all our members and supporters, and indeed all Nigerians, to ignore the purported message as it did not emanate from Asiwaju,’’ APC said.
Besides, it said military uniforms were being issued to thugs at a military facility in Lagos.
