APC Campaign requests Jonathan to clear air on rumours of interim government

The All Progressives Congress Presidential Council Organization, APCPCO, says it has identified vested interest and sinister motives in the postponement of the general elections. It then pleaded with President Goodluck Jonathan to come clean on the speculated plans for an interim government so as to avert possible civil disobedience that could scuttle the country’s democracy.

APCPCO, in a statement issued yesterday, in Abuja by its Director of Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, frowned at what it called the unholy alliance between the Jonathan’s government, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the military for the purposes of subverting Nigerians’ franchise in the rescheduled presidential and other elections on March 28 and April 11, respectively.

The statement reads in part: “If the witch cried in the night and the baby died in the morning, it would not be a mere coincidence. Hence, the body of civilized and democratic people around the world believe that the security excuse used by this unpopular government to prolong the polls is untrue and pretentious.

“What type of democracy allows compromising security chiefs to determine when elections would hold or not? Now, the National Security Adviser, NSA, has become the megaphone for this government.

“He went to Chatham House in the UK to call for election postponement which he has now obtained. Next, he claims he would crush Boko Haram within six weeks. What if he can’t? “Will there be a further excuse to extend the elections and create constitutional impasse? Nigerians are no fools,” the statement added.
