The PDP Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of plotting to use the planned nationwide military “Operation Python Dance” to legitimize his administration’s ploy of using the military to intimidate voters and rig the 2019 Presidential election, “having realised he cannot win in a free and fair poll.”
According to a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday by Kola Ologbondiyan, the campaign’s spokesman, “this plot is inconsonant with the desperation of the Buhari Presidency to foist a siege mentality on the nation ahead of the 2019 general elections, harass voters and create a sense of escalated insecurity, so as to stalemate the electoral process, once it becomes clearer that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was losing.”
The statement said that the campaign’s investigation revealed that part of the plot is to use the military operation as a subterfuge to unleash heavy security presence to intimidate, harass and instil fear in voters in PDP strongholds across the country and pave the way for the allocation of fictitious votes to President Buhari and the APC.
It added: “Further investigation reveals that agents of the Buhari Presidency are working in cahoot with some compromised top officials of the Prof. Mahmood Yakubu-led Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to use soldiers to provide cover for diversion of electoral materials, as well as aid APC agents in their plan to unleash violence and disrupt the electoral process in areas where the PDP is winning.
“In spanning the military operation to February 28, 2019, the Buhari Presidency betrayed its anticipation of public rejection or violence, which can only come when a result that does not reflect the actual wish of the people is announced.
“Everybody in Nigeria and world over, including the Buhari’s Presidency, know the direction the 2019 presidential election tide is flowing and that Nigerians are eager for a new President, having lost confidence in President Buhari, due to his failures in governance.”
The PPCO, therefore, rejected “this deliberate attempt by the Buhari Presidency to set our military on a collision course with Nigerians, bearing in mind the collateral damage that usually occurs whenever the civilian population clashes with the military. “

The statement further admonished: “Our nation is a democratic state and we are not in a state of emergency that requires the militarization of our electoral process.
“Our military, which is cherished by Nigerians, should, therefore, foreclose any attempt by the Buhari Presidency to use it to set our country on fire.
“All that Nigerians desire at this point is to go to the polls and peacefully elect a new President to reposition our nation and not another round of electoral crisis.
“Moreover, the only threat to the peaceful election today is the Buhari Presidency, which has been overheating the polity with its official high handedness, clamp down on opposition and desperation to rig the polls.
“Finally, if the authorities believe that military steps are genuinely required to ensure peaceful poll in any part of the country, they should recourse to the constitutional approval of the National Assembly and not making impositions as if our nation is under a military regime.”
Stupidity, did the pdpigs under the former president not deployed soldiers in 2015 for elections. The pdpigs are in severe pains and it is becoming more severe ahead of elections.
Enemy of progress
It’s a clear attempt to ring all the elections in favour of APC in 2019. The python should start dancing after the elections.
It’s time well meaning Nigerians stopped giving credence to utterances of PDP who deemed it fit to promote a fugitive from America law as its candidate……
Funny! You just make jest with politics at even security issues? Are the army not a soveriegn power of every nation? Or are there negative intentions that you’ve got and don’t want to be exposed?

Is this so called python dance necessary in all the states? Have they finished combatting boko haram and other bandits that are parading everywhere? I suspect this programme.
Olusola Jacobs Thesecond slave you think with the military APC can ring the election evil People everywhere
Because they are criminals
I am illiterate without WAEC just like Buhari, can you please tell me the meaning of “ring” because i have different meaning to that word.
Ring or rig?
Many don’t seem to see that the real Politics, also what strongly links northern Nigeria to south-western Nigeria is Religion.
South-western Christians are in Spiritual and Political Slumber, generally giving in to Societal and Religious Perversions for some bread.
It happens that Christians, blinded in Churchism are far less Spiritually upright than Muslims, and for the totality of reasons including misuse of Grace, unable to have GOD fight for them.
If any try to be diplomatic about this reality, it will end up in destruction.
GOD is aware of the different beliefs in HIM, yet Straight is the way to GODLY intervention in the affairs of Creation.
So why is Buhari sending soldiers to the south while Boko Haram is killing soldiers in the north?
Anything wey u like make you talk APC don COLLECT those stand for those two states gidigba no shaking
Python should go and dance in sambisa forest and other places where. Boko Haram are not to be intimidating armless innocent citizens.
Are they the only party we have? Leopard will never change his skin
APC have openly declared war on Nigerians with soldiers everywhere in Nigeria.
Buhari wants to put fear in the heart of his opponents
