Jonathan Planning another Election Postponement – APC

2 Min Read

All Progressives Congress has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of planning to use the insecurity in the north to push for another election postponement.

APC insisted that if the President achieves his plan, he and other key members of his administration should face still sanctions by the international community.

In a statement issued in Dubai on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the APC said “The plan is to use the same bogey of insecurity in the North-East to push for another postponement in the elections. The signs are ominous indeed.

“The body language of the President and his party does not support the holding of elections. They are mortally afraid of losing because the uses of PVCs and card readers have thwarted their rigging plans.

“Once they remove Jega, his replacement will either seek more time to organise the polls or simply jettison the plan to use card readers, thereby opening the door for those who have been buying up PVCs to use them.

“Is it not interesting that the same administration that has been flaunting free and fair elections as a key achievement has now gone for the jugular of the same man who organised those polls?

“Is the man they don’t want not the same person who organised the 2011 polls which the administration has described as free, fair and credible? What has now gone wrong between them and their poster boy for successful elections?”

APC warned of constitutional crisis which would endanger the country’s democracy if the polls are not on March 28.
