Senate President Bukola Saraki has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) national caucus meeting assembly as a “Nollywood meeting.”

The APC NEC had an emergency meeting on Monday over the postponement of the general election.

Speaking at Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) meeting on Tuesday, Saraki said the ruling party did not want the elections to hold last Saturday.

The senate president said the plan of the APC is to frustrate voters.

“INEC, we know that they do not want you to hold that election on Saturday, but we want you to hold that election on Saturday,” he said.

“The Nollywood APC meeting yesterday was because they don’t want elections on Saturday, but we want elections on Saturday, Nigerians want elections on Saturday, the world wants elections on Saturday.

“I want to appeal to Nigerians, their plan is to have low turn out and frustrate you. Please come out again and vote for Atiku that will make the country better. On Saturday, when you come out to vote, vote for Nigeria.”

Saraki said the PDP is against any plan to rig the election.

“PDP is against election rigging. The law must apply to people that rig. We in the PDP stand against election rigging, we oppose election rigging, but we are also against jungle justice and disregard of the rule of law,” he said.

“When you come out to vote on Saturday, do you want a Nigeria that that adheres to the rule of law, or do you want a Nigeria that is governed by jungle justice.

“I want to appeal to Nigerians, their plan is to have low turn out and frustrate you. Please come out again and vote for Atiku that will make the country better. On Saturday, when you come out to vote, vote for Nigeria.”
