The All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised the alarm over the relentless scheming by the Jonathan Administration and the PDP to push for another postponement of the 2015 general elections, unless they can perfect a rigging plan, and called for the imposition of global sanctions on whoever scuttles the polls.

In a statement , Sunday, by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the multi-pronged efforts to prevent the elections from holding as rescheduled include the use of some 23 portfolio political parties to seek a further shift in the election dates and the destabilization of INEC’s election plan through the orchestrated removal of its Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega.

It said the same 23 satellite parties of the PDP that were used to push for the six-week postponement of the elections have again started testing the waters by pushing for a further shift in the elections in the six-states of the North-east, ostensibly to allow the conclusion of the counter-insurgency battle and also to allow those displaced to return home.

”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 use of PVCs and Card Readers have thwarted their rigging plans,” APC said.

The party said while the 23 parties are pushing for the elections to be further postponed, the Jonathan Administration and the PDP are simultaneously forging ahead with their plan to remove Prof. Jega and replace him with a malleable acting Chairman whom, they believe, will do their bidding.

”Once they remove Jega, his replacement will either seek more time to organize 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 organized those polls? Is the man they don’t want not the same person who organized 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? it queried.

APC warned that the consequences of another postponement of the elections will be dire indeed, especially because it will create a constitutional crisis that is capable of endangering the country’s democracy and destabilizing the country in its entirety

The party called on Nigerians, especially the civil society, to be very vigilant in the days ahead, as the cloud of uncertainty becomes thicker and the vultures begin to circle.

It also called on the international community to consider imposing stiff sanctions on key members of the Jonathan Administration if they force another postponement or scuttle the polls.

”We believe that Nigerians themselves bear the utmost responsibility for the success of their nation’s democracy and the survival of their country, and we commend those who have stood up to be counted in the ongoing battle to have free and fair elections.

”However, we also believe that the international community has a role to play in helping to check the desperadoes who are using the Laurent Gbagbo rule book as if it was made for them, and who will not hesitate to bring the whole system crashing down on all if that is what it will take for them to perpetuate themselves in power.

”Nigeria is too important to be toyed with or allowed to go under. For example, Nigerians make up more than 56% of the estimated ECOWAS population of 300 million. A destabilized Nigeria, therefore, is a destabilized West Africa and, indeed, a hobbled Africa!

”That is why we believe a travel ban and tough economic sanctions from the international community against these agents of destabilization will be in order. This is a patriotic call,” APC said.

Fucckk APC... Gej till 2019

"An old man's mouth may be twisted, but his words are not"..Baba iyabo said it earlier that "GEJ is planning to play the gbagbo on us" and that fetched him insults..now its getting clearer by the day that some1 is truly trying to play the gbagbo on us..


It is also getting clearer by the day that some1 is going to end up the GBAGBO way


...Below is Laurent Gbagbo bn tought the hard way to leave office

Anytin bad wif d plot ?

Honestly I don't why APC are so bothered about
Jega's removal.

March 28 elections will hold, why create unnecessary tension
when there is none.

Why is Jonathan afraid of election? If you believe you have done well for the country, you should not be afraid of election. From all indications, Jonathan and PDP are doing everything possible to hound and discredit Jega.

Two dictators in Abacha and IBB tried it and failed. Jonathan should beware because he doesn't know what future holds. Where is Obasanjo who tried third term bid today? The world is watching Nigeria.

One thing still remains... APC will win the presidential elections come whaatever date it will be fixed...

You can only delay destiny but cannot stop it!!!

#SaiBuhari

Vote General Muhammadu Buhari for President!

Gbagbo things.

Isn't that what you all said right before the Feb. 14 one was postponed? Abegi. GEJ can't be trusted from here to there.

Gold I have none, silver I no get am; but handkerchief's I have & I shall give onto thee..





CRY ON...

honestly, you r bn annoyingly bias..have you forgotten that if JEGA gets replaced today, the new INEC chairman wld be appointed by the PDP? Do you think they would appoint an umpire that won't dance to their tune? Why not wonder why PDP is so keen to replace JEGA even after he has bn cleared by the senate?

..+ Who ever thought Feb 14 election won't hold..the postponement news also started like this.

I will prefer to trust JEG than GMB that "claims" to be a saint.
GEJ postponed election
GMB derailed our democratic process.

who can be trusted between the two?

Trust at your discretion.
Na una sabi.

Really?
APC is showing so much panic concerning this Jega issue and u say I am annoyingly bias.
I no fit laff.

The electorate will decide the outcome of the election and not the INEC Chairman.

Or is APC in a wild romance with JEGA?

Any sane man should be bother

But PDP boasted of a free and fair elections in 2011. Why are they suddenly jittery cos Jega plans to use card readers and PVCs

Apc, one week one lie

.

Hmmmm!
Aggrieved Party Congress (APC) wen ar u going to stop making noise? We ar expecting u 2 tell us ur relationship wit JEGA.
Uncle Joe is winning everywhere even on nairaland.

Click like 4 GEJ
Click share 4 GMB

PDP is a party of unpatriotic Nigerians and they must be resisted bu all means this time around.

I pity the youths who have placed their hope on this hopeless nincompoos. The best they can get is temporary "protection" but they all shall forever regret it when they begin to live in abject poverty for another four years at least.

They surely have more credible information than me and you here. This was the same way they raised the alarm about the first postponement while GEJites here dismissed it. What happened thereafter?

GEJ's words mean nothing to him.

since u r for GEJ, what is the "click share for GMB" for?

Does the clueless clown that calls himself a president realise that its the uncertainty in these elections that has helped to catapult the naira into free fall.
What some fools supporting GEJ don't realise is that the economy is bleeding with the continued shift and uncertainty in dates.
While u miserable souls are edging GEJ on,the pains wud be felt by the same miserable sycophants because GEJ has stacked enough money and ammunition for his Ijaws thugs to last him throughout the crisis he wants to plunge this nation into.

fkaz:


Honestly PDP has been shouting ONE MAN ONE VOTE" now prof Jega introduce card-reader they are running from it.

They say PDP government is going to "FIGHT CORRUPTION using TECHNOLOGY" prof Jega introduce card-reader to stop election rigging they are running from it again

Honestly I cant understand how a party glamoring for a free and fair elections will be violently kick against card readers

The endless schemes of the PDP is choking. Even as they conspire to postpone the elections, it would have been a clear indication that the PDP means to rig, because if the GEJ led government were so sure they'll win the 2015 elections, they would not have schemed to postpone it.
