The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that some people are planning to scuttle the forthcoming area council elections in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Briefing journalists in Abuja, the Director of Publicity, PDP Chairmanship Candidate Campaign for Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Emmanuel Inyang, said intelligence report had revealed that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was working to scuttle the success of the polls.

The party, therefore, called on relevant agencies of government to nip the brewing trouble in the bud to avoid any violence that could disrupt the arrangement already made by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

But the Minister of State for FCT, Dr Ramatu Tijani Aliyu, at an APC rally in Gwagwalada, assured the residents of adequate security before, during and after the polls, saying the administration would ensure a level-playing ground for all.
