APC says SSS working with PDP to prevent Jonathan's defeat

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Department of State Services (DSS ) of acting out the script of the Presidency to postpone the forthcoming elections and help the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, to avert defeat in the polls.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary Alhaji Lai Mohammed who said this at a press briefing in Lagos on SUnday, noted that the gestapo-like raids of their Data Centre last year showed that the DSS is working for the ruling party.

He said, “Having taken our time to study the ‘findings’, we believe it is necessary for us to respond to the allegations in a more detailed manner that will show that we were even charitable to have described the report as hogwash.

“That DSS report is bunkum, garbage, and is not worth the paper on which it is written.
We will demonstrate that to you shortly. “We will like to tell all Nigerians that the crap called ‘findings’ is part of the ongoing efforts by the Jonathan Administration to postpone next month’s general elections.

Having seen the handwriting on the wall vis-a-vis the growing rejection of the PDP by Nigerians, the Jonathan administration has gone into a panic mode, while embarking on a plan to postpone the elections.

“Apparently, the thinking at the DSS, which is working in cahoots with the PDP, is that its report that the APC plans to hack into the voters’ registration Data Base of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will raise doubts about the integrity of the voter’s register to be used for the forthcoming polls, and subsequently force a postponement of the elections since the existing register cannot be used for the polls.

“Unfortunately for DSS and the PDP, this thinking was based on a wrong premise, as we will show shortly, and it has backfired.

“Before you say our claim is outlandish, remember that some prominent Nigerians have publicly called for the postponement of the election – which can only benefit the Jonathan Administration and delay its impending Waterloo at the polls.

“Place the calls side by side with the apparently doctored outcome of the DSS investigations and the timing of the report’s release, and you will understand where they are coming from.”

The APC scribe maintained that the DSS ‘findings’ cannot stand a serious scrutiny by independent investigators because the department, “worked backwards, from answer to question, in an effort to reach a pre-determined conclusion.”
