In his address during the press conference held in Ikeja,the publicity secretary of the party in Lagos state,Mr. Joe Igbokwe,accused the PDP for sponsoring thugs to vandalize APC candidates posters,billboards and banners all over Lagos through illegal Federal task force ,alleges that they have thrown decorum to the dogs by way and manner they are pulling down the posters and billboards of APC candidates even on Lagos roads.

Igbokwe was unhappy with the Lagos state police command, saying despite reported the matter to police commissioner that they have strangely refused to act.”Today, the thugs went on rampage through Gbagada, Third Mainlaind Bridge, Osborne and the Island, pulling down APC posters, billboards and banners and replacing same with PDP’s.

We just got a report that about 50 thugs and hoodlums working for Mr. Jimi Agbaje are currently on Osborne, with dangerous weapons and removing the posters of our governorship candidate, Mr. Akin Ambode and our presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. We had expected the police to at least, pretend to be unbiased and stop this brigandage but alas, they have looked sideways and pretend as if nothing is amiss”,he alleged.

The APC spokesman in Lagos did not stop at this,he frowned at attitude of Lagos state police command for being baised.

He claimed that the same police command that threatened to arrest LASSAA officials for regulating indiscriminate defacement of Lagos with posters and handbills were yet to take action against recklessness and rascality of PDP thugs who on 4th February 2015 went on rampage in ikorodu road destroying APC posters,billboards and banners on sight for eight hours unhindered by law enforcement agencies.

Igbokwe described this action of PDP thugs and their sponsors as an open invitation to confrontation. “We have been making this known to law enforcement agencies and the world while the acts continue to increase”,he claimed.

Therefore,he called on Lagos state police commissioner and his command to act quickly and decisively to stop this brigandage for there is limitation to human endurance.

He warned that PDP should not take his party APC for granted or allowed to resort to self defense.“We warn that the PDP should not mistake our resolve to keep the peace as a necessary condition for the long desired change Nigerians are longing for, as a sign of submission and docility”,he concluded.
