The PNC/APNU is at their usual pastime, that is, vandalism and violence. Their thugs are ripping down PPP/C’s posters and throwing missiles at their meetings. This is an age old intimidating tactic employed by that party in an attempt to show “support” for the party. They have grossly violated the code of conduct set up by theElection Commission for this election season, and in this regard, I call on the Elections Commission and civil groups to condemn these intimidatory tactics of the Opposition. But I shudder to think of the future because I sagely believe the worse is yet to come when the reality of a lost election dawns on them. At that time they will go on an all out offensive.
Come the evening of May 11th, we are going to hear those ghoulish stories of channa bombs and burning buildings,  of looting and beatings of supporters of the ruling party.  I therefore call on the police and the disciplined services to be on high alert for such uncivil behavior.
But far more distressing is the fact that these occurrences are taking place in a constituency that benefitted enormously from the housing and other infrastructural works of the PPP/C. Sophia, of all places should at least show some gratitude to the PPP/C. They are now living comfortably on lands that have been regularized and modernised due to the effort of the PPP/C, a party that has expended time and money to the development of this squatter settlement. When the party they now give support to violently routed them off with dogs, we, the PPP/C, gave them a place they now call home. The PPP/C came to the rescue of the Sophia residents.
These hired vandals should be aware of this fact, that they are being used by a party who has nothing to offer them by way of stability and a good life. They must be aware of the fact that the PNC/APNU only views them as thugs and vagabonds. If a party can only see me in this light, then I ought to do the honest thing, reject them!
I call on all my fellow brothers and sisters in the Opposition to rebuke the evil plans of their party.
