Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for president, has accused a nefarious scheme to generate a crisis that will force the delay and disruption of the elections in Nigeria on February 25.
At the presidential campaign rally held on Friday at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion in Ado-Ekiti, the capital of the Ekiti State, Tinubu urged the populace to remain steadfast and thwart any nefarious plans by scavengers.
If elected President, Tinubu pledged that his government will not demote the esteemed intellectuals of Ekiti. Additionally, he warned the people to make sure they have their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and not to fall for any conspiracy by evil forces to appoint an interim administration after creating an unwarranted crisis.
Tinubu said that there is a conspiracy by certain saboteurs to prevent the 2023 general elections from taking place while speaking to APC supporters at a rally at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State.

The APC candidate claims that his followers won’t be deterred from voting for him despite the shortage of petrol and the redesign of the three naira notes. He promised the state’s citizens that, if elected, he would put an end to gasoline shortages, calling next month’s presidential election a “revolution.”
“They want to provoke you to violence, so that election will be disrupted and postponed, and they can cunningly introduce an interim government, that’s their plot. But this will backfire because we are wiser,” the former Lagos governor said.
“Have you collected your PVCs? They want to hoard them and not give them out to you. Continue to be on their neck please. Don’t worry, those who locked up your money will also release them.”
“Let fuel be expensive, only they know where they keep it. Keep petrol, keep the naira, we will vote and be elected. You may change the ink of naira notes. What you expect will not happen. We will win,” the former Lagos State governor said in the Yoruba language.
