The All Progressives Congress has warned those nursing the plan to postpone the 2015 general elections to perish the thought, saying Nigerians will not accept, under any guise whatsoever, any scheme by desperate elected officials to get tenure elongation by subterfuge.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National
Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said
those who are flying the kite of pushing forward the election
ostensibly because the nation is at war are trying to imperil
the nation’s democracy.

”Election is the lifeblood of democracy, the mechanism by
which modern representative democracy operates. It is the
only way for the citizenry to renew and refresh the
governing process so they can get the most benefits out of
democracy. Therefore, anyone that tries to sabotage this
mechanism is aiming a dagger straight at the heart of
democracy,” it said.

APC said the statement credited to Senate President David
Mark, that ”there is no question of elections, it is not even
on the table now. We are in a state of war,” reflects the
thinking in government circles, even though the Senate
President, having run into a wall of opposition over his
unfortunate statement, has tried to step back from the
comments.

”We in the APC saw this coming, and we have said it at
several fora: That the Jonathan Administration has
deliberately allowed the insurgency in the North-east, an
opposition stronghold, to fester so he can cash in on it to get re-elected. Simply put, the Administration has been playing dirty politics with Boko Haram, at the expense of the lives and property of the citizenry and the well-being of the
nation.

”However, the Administration is being too clever by half to
think that Nigerians will reward it for its failure in its main
reason for existence, which is the protection of the welfare
and security of the citizens. There is just no way this
government will be allowed to profit from its ineptness and
its conspiracy to prolong an insurgency that should have
ended a long time ago,” the party said.

It said the statement by INEC Chairman Attahiru Jega, that
the commission has started preparing for elections even in
the North-east, represents a ray of hope, but warned the
electoral body to remain steadfast and not to cave in to what will be massive pressure from the Jonathan Administration and its gong beaters to scuttle the 2015 elections.

APC said just like Jega has said, countries like Afghanistan
and Iraq successfully held elections even though they are in
a state of war, hence there is no reason why Nigeria cannot
organize elections because of the insurgency in a part of the
country.

Is there anything they haven't opposed? Not like they can stop the government if it really wants to shift dates. They just make noise.

”However, the Administration is being too clever by half to think that Nigerians will reward it for its failure in its main
reason for existence, which is the protection of the welfare
and security of the citizens. There is just no way this
government will be allowed to profit from its ineptness and
its conspiracy to prolong an insurgency that should have
ended a long time ago,” the party said.

Well said Mohammed in other words, they are not "so clever" in the PDP camp!!!!!

Why dem wan shift am? Yeye pdp

I had always said it, that the FG can tackle this insurgency if they really want Ŧo. But because of their selfish agenda, they will allow it run till 2015 just Ŧo prevent elections from holding in some parts of the country.

I am so shocked I once nursed the idea that APC stood a chance against PDP.

Really?

Will shifting it make d election more credible?

wellmax: Why dem wan shift am? Yeye pdp

[size=20pt]Why is APC now becoming a party for jokers?[/size]

Nawaohh...... fp tin

[quote author=farrax][/quote]

Got anything to say on the topic?

@OP...APC may have to accept some form of postponement especially in the NE, assuming the Boko crisis does not come to an end soon.
No one likes an election postponement....but Boko has to be stopped before they cause more trouble.

If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z equal to; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
Then H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K ; 8+1+18+4+23+15+ 18+1= 98%

K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G +E ; 11+14+15+23+12+ 5+4+7+5= 96%

W+I+S+D+O+M 23+9+19+4+15+13 = 83%

L+U+C+K ; 12+21+3+11 = 47%

None of them makes 100%.
Then what makes 100% Is it Money? NO !!!

M+O+N+E+Y = 13+15+14+5+25= 7 2% Leadership? NO !!!

L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H +I +P =12+5+1+4+5 +18+19+8+9+16= 9 7%

Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our "ATTITUDE".

A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E ; 1+20+20+9+20+21 +4+5= 100%
It is therefore OUR ATTITUDE towards Life and Work in LOVE that makes OUR Life 100% Successful..

Why do they have to shift dates, all their plot na to rig elections. More reason why there should be separation of power, FG shouldn't be choosing dates for INEC now.
Anyway na naija we dey and nobody go give tangible reason for anything.

Why do they have to shift dates, all their plot na to rig elections. More reason why there should be separation of power, FG shouldn't be choosing dates for INEC now.
Anyway na naija we dey and nobody go give tangible reason for anything.

Even countries with more situation insurgency holds elections, please Nigeria allow shifting the elections because power must change hand. am just praying for APC to come out with credible candidate.

If for the good of the election preparedness,no qualms,anything short of that is a No No.

The election must hold on the prescribed timetable,because things must be done in order.

Well, that's why they are the opposition....and they shall still be the major opposition after 2015... GEJ is the man

So because of football this topic is still on its first page. Please finish watching your uniting factor and come and attend to your dividing factor so the e-war can continue.

APC should not worrry, Nigeria is not going to postpone your appointment with disgrace.
