1. The All Progressives Congress, APC slammed the presidency for its response to the warning by the then Rivers state Governor, Rotimi Amaechi that if the 2015 elections are rigged, the party will not recognize the outcome and will go ahead and form a parallel government.

2. The statement was issued in Lagos by the then APC's National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, said that what Mr. Amaechi said at the APC’s Salvation Rally, which has then rankled the presidency, was simply to reiterate the stand taken by the party before the last Osun State Governorship election.

3. “They a conditional statement. If A happens, then B will follow. That means if elections are not rigged, there will be no problem. It is therefore laughable that anyone will call that statement treasonable,” it said, adding that there is no higher treason than the subversion of the people’s will.

APC said it is common knowledge that anywhere in the world where elections have been rigged, the consequences have been dire, and Nigeria will not be an exception.

4. “The APC reminded the Jonathan's presidency, that election fraud triggered a civil war in Algeria in the early 1990s, led to the killing of over 1,000 people in post-election riots in Kenya in 2007/2008 and fired a near revolution in Iran in 2009/2010. Electoral frauds also corrupt democracy and breed dictatorship, and risks making the people to lose confidence in democracy".

Great one. What is good for the goose should be good for the ....

Summary:

CyberHustle:
Internet is good indeed. The same party is today interpreting every move of opposition as treason even when clearly not the case.

Corn247:
SW is indeed the center of politics and development in Nigeria, others will have to just follow them and fulanis.. Align or perish.
GEJ that time sef fear and quickly call Buhari because they will make the country ungovernable just as they promised

Polchiz:

This is unbelievable! SW is the centre of politics?
You have never achieved anything politically by doing the right thing.
The fact that you always align with Fulanis to truncate true democratic process and then mobilize hoodlums and terrorists to sustain it does not confer on you political superiority.

You are like a dull student who celebrates cheating and manipulating his way to top of the class and then deceive yourself that you are the brightest.

In the present democratic dispensation, Tinubu is the only true Yoruba candidate 'elected' in 24 years. He has not been sworn in and you are already shouting ah! ah! ah! beating your chest.

Corn247:


All these are noise, as if there is any igbo person alive that is saint and really love other tribes, we technically see through you people, we just don't care because we are above hating other people now because we don't see anyone as treat unlike you that is always claiming victim and want to break away from Nigeria because you can't compete in the center.

If you claim SW is not the center of politics, then where. Which time has yoruba ever become politically insignificant in Nigeria, they are always in govt and not opposition.

Polchiz:

Which true Yoruba man has ever occupied influential political position in the democratic dispensation?
Obasanjo is never your candidate. So don't mention him.

Corn247:


You see, we have lots of options in SW.

Obasanjo is from abakaliki while yemi Osinbajo is from owerri

Polchiz:

SW didn't support nor voted for Obasanjo.
Vice president is like a spare tyre. It has no influence as long as the president is alive and sound.
If Vice president matters, every zone has enjoyed it.
