Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, yesterday threatened that the All Progressives Congress, APC, will form a parallel government should the 2015 elections fail to meet the expectations of the party.
He said that the opposition would also spearhead civil disobedience across the country, adding that the days were gone when any figures ascribed as votes for former Head of State and presidential aspirant, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, by the electoral umpire in Rivers would be accepted.
The Rivers governor made the threat in Abuja yesterday on the sideline of a rally organized by the party in Abuja tagged, “Salvation Rally.”
To show that Governor Amaechi spoke the mind of the APC leaders, its National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, in his speech, said: “If we do not see any discernible change of attitude on the part of the government, then we will move to the next stage on the list of actions that our party intends to take to stop the rot being perpetuated by the PDP-led Federal Government.”
The party said it organised the rally to sensitise Nigerians on what it called “a practical demonstration of our lack of confidence in the ability or willingness of President Goodluck Jonathan to organise a free and fair election come February 2015.”
Odigie-Oyegun said the recent attempt by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to distribute the Permanent Voters Card ended in a fiasco because, the Commission’s ICT Department deliberately corrupted the system.
According to him, “As you must all be aware, the recent exercise by INEC of collection of Permanent Voters Cards and continuous voter registration in 12 states of the federation was a fiasco. The official explanation from INEC is to blame it all on computer error.
“But, we know this is a lie. The truth of the matter is that the ICT Unit of INEC, which is working hand in gloves with the Presidential Villa, deliberately corrupted the system in order to disenfranchise voters in APC-controlled states.
“How else do you explain the fact that this same exercise, which had gone fairly well in 24 other states-mostly PDP states-is now a fiasco in Lagos, Kano, Rivers, Niger, Ogun, Katsina, Kaduna, Zamfara, all APC strongholds and with the highest number of registered voters?
“In the aforementioned states, millions of voters have been disenfranchised because the system was deliberately corrupted to wipe out their names from the voters register. Even those who were able to vote in 2011 could no longer find their names on the register.
“Zero units are now to be found more in APC-controlled states or strongholds. The PDP, realising the overwhelming support and followership which APC enjoys in the above mentioned states, has deliberately decided to use the ICT Department of INEC to rig the 2015 general elections at source by disenfranchising millions of the opposition party’s supporters,” he alleged.
The party also claimed that despite the dwindling revenue into the Federation Account, occasioned by the falling oil prices, the President is secretly funding the PDP states to the disadvantage of the APC states.
Odigie-Oyegun said: “He has in the last two years embarked on a scheme to create disaffection among the electorates in APC-controlled states by not funding the Federation Account adequately. While this may appear a general problem affecting all states, he has secretly and unconstitutionally been funding PDP-controlled states. Not too long ago, he dashed all PDP-controlled states N2 billion each. Not only does this affect the letter and spirit of our constitution, it also portrays him as the President of the PDP and not that of Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, the rally, which was supposed to bring together some of the party’s big wigs, ended up being a sigh of deep rift in its fold, in the buildup to its December presidential primaries.
Gen. Buhari was the only presidential aspirant of the APC that was present at the rally, an indication that all may not be well within the ranks of those jostling for the party’s presidential ticket.
Notable leaders of the party and other presidential aspirants, including former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso and former Lagos State Governor, Ahmed Tinubu among others, were conspicuously missing at the rally.
No party official was ready to explain why the leaders shunned the event. There were however strong indications that it was a way of registering their displeasure in what many described as deliberate effort by APC to hand its presidential ticket to a preferred aspirant.
