A former Acting Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje yesterday disclosed that five more governors of the ruling party and their structures are joining APC ahead of the 2015 general elections.
Baraje, who did not disclosed the identity of the governors, stated this in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital while speaking with journalists to mark his 64th birthday.
He also alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP was behind the proposal for an interim government if General Muhammadu Buhari won the Presidential election.
According to him, the ruling party has been planning many tricks including the postponement of the election, stressing that the APC will join Nigerians to reject such undemocratic action by the ruling party.
Baraje said it was honesty of purpose that has kept APC growing and accepted by the masses in Nigeria, adding that Nigerians are tired of deceit, manufacture of economy figures, and unfulfilled promises by the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
He commended INEC for extending the collection of Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, saying the electoral body has been insisting on the election date and stressing that the APC members stand firmly with the electoral body’s position.
Baraje added that his party was strongly against the use of Temporary Voter Cards, TVCs, stressing that it was a gateway to election manipulation by the ruling party.
Baraje urged Nigerians to vote for APC Presidential candidate on February 14, adding that his party stands firm on free, fair and credible elections.
