The All Progressives Congress today in a statement has
accused the People’s Democratic Party for being behind the distribution of
leaflets in Gombe State warning residents not to come out to vote or face the
consequences if they do. APC says it’s another form of looking for a way to
postpone the rescheduled elections and that the party and the government have
been trying every new ‘trick’ to look for a way of postponing the forthcoming
elections. Below is part of what the statement said today.

the elections because of low PVC distribution.

“When they realised the number of PVCs collected was growing

proceed in spite of them.
