The Federal Government has alleged that there was an underground plot by the opposition political parties to mobilize herdsmen and Boko Haram to attack two key institutions in the country.
He said the attack which would be targeted at the police stations and Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is aimed at thwarting the 2019 election.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed stated this in a press conference in Abuja on Monday.
According to him, “They (the opposition) have targeted, for attack, the two key institutions that are most critical to the success of the election: The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Police.
“They have used every malleable and malicious personality to make wild allegations against INEC.
“Their strategy is simple: Discredit the election even before it is held, and continue during and after the polls with a view to convincing the West – which they believe they have won to their side using lobbyist-propelled propaganda – that the election is not credible.”
