There is uneasy calm in Nasarawa State as the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) await the ruling of the Supreme Court after the appeal court favoured incumbent Governor, Abdullahi Sule.
The APC in the state on Thursday expressed concern over the PDP’s purported plans to arrange ugly protests, overheat the polity, and produce havoc in the state.
The PDP had previously stated that the ruling party was tormented by its shadows.
Aliyu Bello, the APC’s state chairman, accused the PDP of inciting ethnic and religious hatred through protests aimed at generating disharmony among Nasarawa State residents who had been coexisting as citizens for a long time.
He alleged that since Governor Sule was declared the victor of the March 18 election, the PDP has continued to display divisive tendencies by mobilizing gullible and weak supporters who parade nude in the street and at the party’s secretariat.
“The poor women recruited to engage in this shameful act have been paid and convinced, that such equally primitive action has the spiritual powers to earn the party victory at the courts.
“So far, the gods or the deities and the spirits the PDP has been invoking have failed them, and will further fail them again at the Supreme Court,” he said.
