Buhari, APC Boycott Election Debates by abdulatif8: 9:51pm On Jan 29, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it will
not participate in the ongoing public debates on
national television and radio stations organised by
the Nigeria Election Debate Group (NEDG).
This is contained in a statement issued to
newsmen in Abuja and Thursday and signed by
Malam Garba Shehu, the Director Media and
Publicity of the APC Campaign Organisation.
The statement said it decision to boycot the
debates ”is because of the unhidden bias and
campaign of calumny by some key organisers of
the programme against the corporate political
interest of the party and its candidates”.
It alleged that the Nigeria Election Debate Group
(NEDG), co-ordinating the debate, was fraught
with fundamental errors from the outset.
The statement said the NEDG was wearing the
toga of government and composed mainly of
agencies and allies of the incumbent PDP -led
administration.

”A salutary inspection of the composition of the
NEGD brings into focus the BON, NTA, FRCN and
AIT, (owned by a PDP chieftain).
”Going by the avalanche of inflammatory
statements, misinformation and blatant lies being
propagated by some of these media against our
party and candidates contrary to the Koffi Annan-
brokered Abuja Peace Accord, and the failure of
these aggressors to desist and apologise, have
left the APC Campaign with no option than to
steer clear of any premeditated smear campaign
that could be inimical to our prospective electoral
success.

”The boycott by the APC should not be seen as
disrespect to Nigerian voters, or an alibi for the
party to dodge public scrutiny.
”It must be viewed as an honourable right not to
consent to any activity that could distract,
demean, denigrate or derail the fast-moving
train of the party.

“The APC is a party of progressive intellectuals,
genuine technocrats, successful businessmen and
women, and most of all eminent and courteous
people of honour who would never condescend to
the level of sadistic gutter propaganda, all in the
name of political exigency and crass
opportunism.”

It alleged that many government-controlled media
have clipped the wings of APC promotional
advertisements on one excuse or the other,
adding that until a court upturned their decision
recently, the Nigerian Communications
Commission (NCC) had shut down some telecom
portals for soliciting legitimate campaign funds
from members of the public for APC.

The statement said that the APC had sent letters
of complaint to the Inspector-General of Police,
Directorate of State Security (DSS) and others
but had yet to receive replies on the complaints.
”None of our letters of protest has been attended
to by the authorities.

”The APC/Buhari campaign is now a people’s
movement. The more they try to rubbish it, the
more popular we are with the populace,” it said
