PDP Will Reap Its Cocktail Of Lies At the Polls – APC

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State says it has uncovered plot by the All Progressives Congress, APC, to write fake election result and smuggle it to collation centre, and if that fail, they plan to present it at election Tribunal, just as the party described this act as Hope Uzodinma’s template.

PDP publicity secretary in the state, Chris Nehikhare, while disclosing this in Benin on Sunday in a press conference, said the Hope Uzodinma’s template is a situation whereby the APC plan to disrupt election in certain units across the state, and thereafter go their hotel rooms a to write the fake result.

” We have uncovered a sinister plot which has disorganized the APC so badly. A sinister they termed as Hope Uzodinma’s template. That template is whereby they have in their possession fake result, and try to distrupt the election in certain units which we have identified across the state.

” As the election is going on, they will try to disrupt it and go to the comfort of their hotel rooms to write result and try to smuggle it in, if not at the point of collation then at the tribunal. But that plan will be defeated. That plot has been uncovered, and we are telling them that if they try it, even the Tribunal will not listen to them this time. Fake result, is a fake result. And serious defeat awaits them in the election in few weeks time.”

Nehikhare who encouraged Edo people not to be intimidated by “APC’s spread of fake news to discourage them from coming out to vote”, noted that the APC has run out of ideas, hencing “resulting to dishing out fake news”.

While declaring that the fake news will not stand, the Publicity Secretary described the news as a ruse.

He said, ” In the last few weeks, the APC has run out of content, so, they are reeling out fake news all the time. This fake news is designed to scare Edo people from coming out to vote on election day. Their fake news is unacceptable and a ruse. Edo people will not be intimidated, or be scared because of fake news that they are using that the election will be distrupted or violence.

” The threat that election will be violence is a lie. We are assuring Edo people of free, fair, and credible election. Do not be intimidated, do not be scared, come out to vote; come out to reject APC with your PVC.

” Their campaign has run dried, they have nothing to say. Their simple agenda is so dried. It was used in 2016, but rejected by the people of Edo, and they will be rejected this election.”

Further, speaking on alleged plan to use thugs to disrupt the election, Nehikhare said, “ their thugs and lions have been tamed. Our hunters are available everywhere to hunt their lions and tigers, and to silence them . With the trust and support of Edo people, we are going to tame their lions, and we are already taming them.”

On accusation that Edo Modular Refinery is not a project of the Obaseki-led administration, the spokesman further said, “APC is shocked that Edo Modular Refinery is working. The refinery is a project of Edo State government, and it is in partnership with a private company. The company has come out with a statement to confirm that it is an Edo State government project.

” Edo State has a large stake in that project. Edo provided the land on which the refinery is built. So, from all intent and purposes, it is an Edo State project propelled by the vision of Governor Obaseki. This a project that will create employment for Edo people. Instead of APC to celebrate this project, they are here, raising accusation.”

However, in his reaction, Chairman, the State APC Media Campaign Council, Mr. John Mayaki, implored Edo people to ignore the “latest lie from that stable of the PDP”, just as he described the act as “one-day, one-fib”.

Mayaki said, ” The PDP’s latest lie was the allegation that the APC planned to “write results”, and smuggle in those results according to a so-called “Hope Uzodimma template”.

“First of all, it would be interesting to know what PDP means by ‘Hope Uzodimma template’. “But you can see how that party dissipates its energy on laughable lies, when it should focus on telling Edo people what it would do differently, from its present four years of near-absolute waste.”

Mayaki said the cocktail of lies was hardly surprising, for the one who lacks solid facts to build his case, would resort to lies to deceive.

The APC campaign spokesperson, however, held that the Edo people were free to contrast the APC campaign of issues, from its SIMPLE Agenda, to PDP’s daily dose of what he called “one-day, one-fib.”

“In a way, you’ve got to pity these guys,” he said. “If you’re around for four years, and you have little to point to, why would you not be dreaming ‘rigging’, to create an excuse, and harvest pity, for sure thumping defeat to come?”

Mayaki said APC will win and win big on September 19, and everything, from its very successful campaigns, is pointing to that.

“Take it from me: we’re winning on September 19, and we’re winning big. We’ll win by the sheer winnability of our ideas, and the voter acceptance of our life-changing programmes. For those, the Edo people will reward us handsomely with their votes.”

Mayaki however volunteered that PDP’s resort to lies and wild rumours are a spiritual punishment for wasting the time of the Edo people for four years; and for not adding value to Edo lives.

He stressed that the PDP cocktail of lies has helped the POI campaign to further focus on its own campaign of facts, figures and sound programmes, borne out of the SIMPLE yet far-reaching agenda.

“We encourage the PDP to continue misleading and misguiding itself with wild rumours. We know the voters are not deceived. So, we will continue on our approach, which has proved a hit with our people, everywhere campaign. On September 19,” he continued, “our solid programmes will reap votes, while the PDP lies will harvest tears.”

He thanked Edo voters for their warm and enthusistic reception so far, and urged them to keep up the faith, and get the PVC ready vote out Governor Obaseki, with a vengeance on September 19.

Published

on

By

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control on Monday issued a public alert, warning the public about confirmed counterfeit batches of Postinor-2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75 mg) now circulating in Nigeria.

The alert follows a report from the Society for Family Health, the marketing authorisation holder, confirming that they did not import the suspect batches.

Postinor-2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) is a brand of emergency contraceptive pill containing the active ingredient levonorgestrel.

NAFDAC revealed there are noticeable labelling discrepancies between the authentic and fake products.

It said, “The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) hereby notifies the public of falsified Type 1 and 2 batches of POSTINOR 2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) product in circulation.

“The noticeable difference was found to be as follows: The font size of the text on the pin verification sticker appears smaller and has a wrong spelling of the word Veify instead of Verify on the fake; meanwhile, the text font on the sticker of the original appears bigger and more visible. There is also a wrong spelling behind the pack of the fake “Distnibuted in Nigeria” instead of distributed in Nigeria”, NAFDAC said.

NAFDAC identified the original Postinor-2 as batch T32458H, manufactured in February 2023 with an expiry date of February 2027 and registration number 04-6985.

The agency, however, confirmed two falsified versions: Counterfeit Product (Type 1), batch T36184B, manufactured in August 2024 with an expiry date of August 2028; and Counterfeit Product (Type 2), batch 332, manufactured in March 2023 with an expiry date of February 2027, both carrying the registration number 04-6985.

It said that due to the potential presence of incorrect, substandard, or harmful ingredients, improper dosages of levonorgestrel, and a lack of sterile manufacturing conditions, poses significant risks to individual health and public safety.

The risks of administering falsified Postinor 2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) include failure of contraceptive effect, toxic or harmful contaminants, unpredictable side effects, delayed or missed opportunity for genuine emergency contraception, and potential long-term reproductive health impact. Unexpected side effects: Unknown substances can trigger allergic reactions, organ damage, or death.

“Counterfeit medicines are unregulated, untested, and illegal, making their safety and efficacy impossible to guarantee. Patients should only obtain Postinor-2 from verified pharmacies or licensed healthcare providers.

Although Investigations are still ongoing regarding the source of the falsified product, all NAFDAC zonal directors and state coordinators have been directed to carry out surveillance and mop up the falsified product of type 1 and 2 postinor 2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) within the zones and states,” it added.

NAFDAC urged consumers and healthcare providers to verify PIN stickers carefully, report suspected counterfeit products, and always purchase medications from reputable sources.
