A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a former governor of Plateau state, Ambassador Fidelis Tapgun, has disclosed that he worked towards the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just concluded general elections. According to him, he decided to work for the APC because of the injustice perpetrated against PDP members and the imposition of candidates during the elections by some state governors at various levels. Tapgun revealed this while addressing newsmen at his country home in Jos on April 21, Tuesday, The Punch reports. Betrayal? PDP Chief Who Worked For APC Victory Opens Up . He said: “ I contributed to the success of the APC in the state because my party failed. My party failed to zone the governorship to the southern part and that was the greatest error made by the party. The APC fortunately zoned the governorship to the southern part and it won. Contributing to the APC victory was not because we were gratified, it was not hidden at all; it was not done behind the scene. We openly said that we were going to work against the PDP in Plateau State and we kept our promise. “We are PDP; we are not going out and we did it to the end. So, the success of the APC is on the platform of the PDP and we are not ashamed of and it is good to show people that whenever you don’t perform you will be kicked out .” He explained that the PDP was divided and that APC’s victory at the federal and state levels was not surprising. The former governor accused President Goodluck Jonathan of allowing some PDP governors to hijack the party, adding that he and some governorship aspirants had warned the president about the impending fall of the party, but were ignored. Reports had surfaced some days back that the PDP had begun reviewing its performance in the March 28 presidential election to ascertain the cause of Jonathan’s defeat. It was alleged that some top members of the party, especially those from the North, connived with the APC to ensure that Jonathan was beaten at the polls. Some PDP chieftains are calling for the resignation or removal of the party’s national chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu , for failing to lead the party to victory. The PDP not only lost the presidential election to the All Progressives Congress (APC), it also lost its National Assembly majority status, governorship seats and state Houses of Assembly. source: www.naij.com/425775-betrayal-pdp-chief-who-worked-for-apc-victory-opens-up.html |

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare its candidate, Victor Ikpazu, as winner of the April 11 Governorship election in Abia. Mr Olisa Metuh, PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, made the call at a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday. The spokesman alleged that the military was conniving with INEC officials to deny PDP its deserved victory in Abia, Imo and Taraba States where elections had been declared inconclusive. Also speaking, Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe said there was need for INEC to declare Ikpeazu as governor-elect. He said PDP in Abia had petitioned the INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega. Senator-elect, Mao Ohuabunwa, also said: “We have looked at INEC`s paper and copies of the results they brought and our stance is that INEC does not have any reason to declare the election inconclusive.’’ INEC has rescheduled the Abia governorship supplementary election between PDP and the All Progressives Grand Alliance governorship candidate, Alex Otti, to hold on April 25 Source:www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/pdp-wants-inec-to-declare-ikpazu-gov-elect-of-abia/ |

The President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday in Abuja, said the time had come to make more sacrifices and deliver on the promises made to the electorate. Buhari said this when a delegation of All Progressives Congress (APC) politicians from Kogi and Kwara states paid him a courtesy visit at the party presidential campaign headquarters in Abuja. He said it was time to restore security and confidence in the people who placed their trust in the party by voting its candidates at various levels. He added that “I want to appeal to you to work with your colleagues across the country to ensure that we maintain and sustain this unexpected gains in the best interest of our country. “It is time to make a lot more sacrifices. You are the real foot soldiers and you have the constituencies in your hands.’’ Buhari then urged those who won election on the platform of the APC at different levels to ensure that they made impact on the electorate. He said “let us make sacrifices and deliver on what we promised the people to make our jobs as members of the executive much easier. “People should feel secure in Nigeria. Let us give confidence to the people who voted us in no matter who you are, you should get justice. “Whatever we can do in terms of social services, healthcare and security should be done, that is all they need.’’ The president-elect expressed gratitude to the electorate in the constituencies as he recalled the political structures which collapsed into forming the APC on the day he visited the area. Gov. Abdulfattah Ahmed of Kwara, who led his state’s APC delegation, pledged allegiance to Buhari’s government in his congratulatory message. He recalled that the North-Central played a major role in ensuring that Buhari got block votes from the region in the March 28 elections. Former Kogi Governor, Abubakar Audu, who led the Kogi delegation, assured Buhari of 100 per cent support as the state was now an “APC stronghold.’’ Audu said should Buhari wish to stay in office beyond 2019, the state would spearhead his campaigns.

The All Progressives Congress has admonished the Peoples Democratic Party to stop being “a crying baby” and come to terms with the “cold, hard reality that its fortunes have since plummeted” and that it is now in opposition. This was contained in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed. APC argued that the fact that the PDP devoted a substantial part of the communique, issued after the inaugural meeting of the its National Working Committee and Governors/Senators-elect, complaining about alleged harassment and intimidation by the APC, “when it should be strategising about the daunting task ahead of it,” showed that the erstwhile ruling party still did not understand the enormity of the challenges awaiting it as an opposition party. It said the PDP was scared stiff of being in opposition, adding, “We don’t blame them as they have neither the capacity nor the commitment to be in opposition. A party that stood for nothing but looting and rent collection will naturally be afraid of being in opposition, where there is nothing to loot or rent to collect.” APC advised the PDP to understand that it was not by repeating obvious lies that an opposition party could be effective, but “by being creative, knowledgeable, resourceful and above all credible.” The party added, “It is not by cheap blackmail, but by being resilient. “This is why we wish to extend to the National Working Committee of the PDP a free orientation, just as we have offered the party’s spokesman a free crash course on how to be an opposition party spokesman. The theme of the orientation for the PDP NWC members will be ‘transitting from the ruling party to an opposition party’. “In the first instance, there is no substitute for experience. Also, we believe that democracy will be deepened only when there is cooperation between the governing party and the opposition, hence the offer,” the party said. APC slammed the PDP for daring to complain of harassment and intimidation by the APC, saying if any party was guilty of harassment, intimidation and impunity before, during and after the 2015 general elections, it was the PDP. It stated, “Have they so soon forgotten the reckless show of shame by their OPC lackeys with the full support of the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos or the mindless bombings and killings of APC members in Rivers and Gombe states, among others? Only on Monday, APC supporters were again reportedly killed in Rivers and Kaduna states. “Haven’t the folks in the PDP seen the pictures being circulated of their (PDP) supporters brandishing machetes in broad daylight during the party’s campaign in Aba on Tuesday (April 21)?.” APC also described as laughable the allegation by the PDP that the APC was trying to turn the country into a one-party state by luring and making irresistible offers to the leadership of the PDP.

The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, said on Tuesday that a presidential run-off would have led to a crisis in the country. Jega, in his first public comment on the March 28 and April elections, predicated his assertion on what he called many lacunas in the amended Electoral Act. He suggested during a dialogue session with the Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room in Abuja, an amendment to the electoral law since it provides for only seven days after the first election to hold a run- off. He said the incoming administration of Muhammadu Buhari should not wait till 2019 general elections before reviewing the Electoral Act. Jega disclosed that he was happy when the March 28 presidential poll produced a clear winner. He said there was no way that INEC could have successfully conducted a run-off election within seven days as provided for in both the 1999 Constitution and the Electoral Act. The INEC boss said, “I heaved a heavy sigh of relief when the election did not result to a run-off. That would have occasioned a big constitutional crisis. “This is in view of the fact that the 1999 Constitution only made provision for seven days for such poll. You and I know that there was no way we would have been able to conduct a run-off within seven days. “This is why I emphasise that amendments to the electoral laws should be done in good time. We could have further sanitised the electoral process if we had got some of the amendments we required in the Electoral Act.” The INEC boss revealed that there would be electoral reforms to strike a balance between decentralising and centralising the powers of the commission at the national headquarters. He explained, “In future reforms to electoral legal framework this issue has to be looked at carefully. It’s a delicate balance: you have to balance whether you will give the chairman of INEC or the INEC at the headquarters a lot of powers which may be abused or whether you will want to localise the powers which may also be abused. So, it’s a tricky balance and the balance has to be struck. “Clearly, from our experience in 2007, a lot of the powers were removed from the INEC national officers and localised to the Returning Officers. And now, we are seeing the challenges and some abuses in some respects. So, in future, as we review the Electoral Act, we may have to look at how to have some balance in this regard. “Sometimes, when we hear something and a mistake is likely to be made, we can intervene and advise the Returning Officer about the right thing to do. Sometimes some of the Returning Officers, if they are confused and do not understand what they are supposed to do, they can call us directly and seek for clarification. There are a few cases a Returning Officer may just go ahead and do his own thing either based on lack of understanding or because of some partisan considerations. “There are many Returning Officers for example in some states where they disappeared with the result sheets. And we have got information about these people and we are going to follow it up in terms of not only reporting them to their institutions but also prosecuting them appropriately for the offences they committed.” Jega, CSOs disagree on Rivers, Abia and Akwa Ibom gov polls Jega and the over 60 civil society organisations that make up the NCSSR however disagreed on the credibility of the Rivers State governorship election. While the NCSSR members said that the elections in Rivers, Abia and Akwa Ibom states were “lacking in credibility and fraught with irregularities”, Jega said “there is no evidence before the commission as it relates to election irregularities in Rivers State.” It will be recalled that the Situation Room had last week said that the elections in Rivers, Abia and Akwa Ibom states should not be allowed to stand. The convener of the group, Clement Nwankwo, said, “Situation Room has expressed its concern about the overall conduct of the elections in Rivers and Akwa Ibom states where there are good grounds to question the credibility of the elections’ results in both states. “There are also concerns about Abia State, which recorded multiple cases of electoral misconduct.” Jega however disagreed, saying that the reports of the three INEC National Commissioners he sent to Rivers State to investigate alleged irregularities did not confirm the petition. The INEC chairman said, “We have no power to cancel election results once returns have been made. On the petition against election irregularities in Rivers State, the commission sent three national commissioners to the state to investigate it. “Some people didn’t want elections to hold, they are the ones calling for cancellation. We investigated the allegation of fake result sheets in Rivers State, our reports showed that there was nothing like that.” But he admitted that INEC erred by cancelling elections in three local government areas of Abia State. Jega, however, explained that the commission intervened before a return was made, adding that supplementary elections will only hold in wards where results were cancelled. He said, “The announcement of cancellation of three local governments was a mistake. And we intervened before a return was made and it was corrected. “And only the wards where irregularities occurred in those three local governments were to be cancelled. And the supplementary election we are going to do will not cover the entire local government but only those wards that had been cancelled.” There had been uproar in some quarters following INEC’s decision declaring the April 11 governorship poll in Abia, Imo and Taraba states inconclusive. The commission had therefore fixed April 25 as date for supplementary elections in the three states. Explaining that INEC had no power to cancel the election in Rivers State, he called on aggrieved political parties to approach the tribunal to seek legal redress. “The law says once the Returning Officer has made a declaration then you just have to go to the tribunal to contest the declaration,” Jega said. He stated further that there were no evidences to warrant the change of the Resident Electoral Commissioners in Imo and Taraba states. Jega said that INEC would beam its search- light on both states and would also deploy more electoral officials in them. He said, “I have no evidence before me to warrant changing the RECs in Imo and Taraba states. “But we are going to do what we did in Ekiti and Osun states. We will send a lot of supervisors, national commissioners, directors to ensure that a lot of eyes are put on what goes on in these states. “There were a lot of allegations that RECs were compromised. I was accused of being compromised. Frankly, we can’t just start moving RECs and changing them because there are allegations if there is no substantive evidence presented. “Anybody who didn’t like the way things stand out would want the returning officers or RECs removed. But we can’t just start indiscriminately removing people unless we have something to hold against them.” Jega also said that the prosecution of individuals found culpable of electoral malpractices in the just- concluded 2015 general elections had commenced. According to him, those who are being prosecuted include a former Director -General of the National Youth Service Corps and some youth corps members. While saying that INEC would pay attention to high profile electoral offenders, he called on the public to furnish the commission with evidences of electoral breaches. He said, “Prior to the conduct of the elections, the Inspector General of Police was very proactive. He established a committee headed by a DIG to work together with INEC for speedy prosecution of electoral offenders. And we believe that this will help us have more prosecutions of electoral offenders than in previous elections. “Similarly, the Nigerian Bar Association has requested INEC for a meeting so that we can further explore the possibility of working together to hasten the process of prosecuting electoral offenders. “ There are already clear cut cases where the police have apprehended people red-handed and we are working together with them to ensure that they are prosecuted. “This is one area where we didn’t do much in 2011. Not that we didn’t try but we were overwhelmed by the number of offenders and we couldn’t handle it. But now with partnership with other organisations, we should be able to do so.” He said that although INEC received report of underage voting, there was no substantial evidence to prove the allegation. The INEC boss, however, explained that the commission would correct the anomalies by ensuring that Permanent Voter Cards of underage voters were not produced. He also stated that besides prosecution, electoral officers who are not members of staff of INEC and ran away with result sheets would be reported to their parent institutions. Jega cited an example of an individual in Adamawa State who has already bagged six-months jail term for possession of multiple PVCs. On the plea by a participant, urging him to reconsider his decision not to seek fresh tenure , he said: “Man proposes and God disposes. But as I speak with you, I will rather do something else with my life Source:www.punchng.com/news/presidential-run-off-would-have-led-to-crisis-jega-2/ |
