The All Progressives Congress APC has declared Thursday’s Osun governorship election rerun as “substantially” free, fair and credible, accusing the Peoples Democratic Party PDP of crying foul because they were unable to rig the polls.

This was as the party accused the Minister of Women Affairs, Hajia Jumai Alhassan of engaging in anti-party activities, describing her as an APC member in the day and a PDP member at night.

National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole stated these at a news conference Friday in Abuja.

Oshiomhole also gave reasons why the Communications minister, Adebayo Shittu was disqualified saying his illegal exemption from the mandatory national youth service raises both moral and legal questions.

"He (Shittu) admitted that he did not do the mandatory NYSC as provided for under the law and in his own judgment, his being a member of the House of Assembly in the state and now as a Minister of the Federal Republic, that these were enough sacrifices. But for us as a party we know that NYSC is a mandatory scheme. It is not something you may elect to do or abstain from doing and my understanding of the NYSC Act is that no employer of labour is permitted to employ anyone who graduated under 30 years and who did not obtain an exemption for reasons as provided for in the NYSC Act. So, for us, not participating in the NYSC raises very serious moral issue as well as legal issue.

After interviewing him, we were convinced that….for our party, there are clear lessons we need to learn from our recent past when people…anyway, we were convinced that if he did not do NYSC, that for us, was enough to disqualify him and we had to find the courage to do so.

“As for the Honourable Minister of Women Affairs, she has issues that have to do with party loyalty. Our constitution is clear and it dictates that to contest elections or even hold office in the APC, you must be loyal to the party in every material concern. From all she had said in the past and even her comments and general attitude during the screening, the NWC reviewed everything taken together and we arrived at the conclusion that she does not possess the level of loyalty that the APC requires for her to contest elections on our platform. We made it clear when the defections happened that APC may well benefit from these defections if it helps us to be more critical in terms of who we give platform to contest elections and that there are core values that binds the APC together and they are non-negotiable.

“The Electoral Act and the APC Constitution forbids anyone from being a member of more than one political party at a time. You cannot be a member of APC and be a card-carrying member of another party but when you have a situation where it would appear, based on what you know and based on what I know that someone is probably APC in the daytime maybe for the purpose of retaining certain offices and they are PDP at heart or if they are not PDP at heart, they are actually and simply a follower of a one-man permanent presidential candidate…then we have the right to ask ourselves if these attitudes and qualities are characteristics of an ideal member of an APC. So, those are the reasons. We did not want to have a lengthy explanation to do but she knows why she was disqualified and we know why we denied her the use of our platform”, he said.

Hajia Alhassan had last year raises dusts when she declared her support for a PDP presidential aspirant and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar.

SadiqBabaSani:
D's Same Useless Zombies Singing Oshi(Ole's) Praise will Soon be here to Castigate him Sooner than Later.

shugabasbn:
So many of them like that in all political parties.
But to be sincere, for Buhari to still be keeping that woman as a minister upon her public confession that she belong to Akibu don't be surprised that she belong to other room...

greatdreamer:
Very soon I shall celebrate the permanent downfall of APC.

modath:


APC got it right the day Oshio Baba became chairman, e sure me die that the coup pulled during the NASS Saraki daylight robbery would never have been possible if he had been at the helms then...

FrancisDiote:

...and you collected her hard earned N22.2 million

israelmao:
Oshiomhole is doing a lot of havoc to APC before they realize it will irredeemable.

Buharifan:
comot for here,

Oshiomole is the best Party Chairman Nigeria has ever had. No nonsense.

SadiqBabaSani:

slivertongue:
APC &sophisticated hypocrisy is akin to tea &bread.
bunch of rogues, liars& two face characters

Racoon:

Yet when the scandal broke out the APC as a party tried frantically to manoeuvre in order to keep Madam Kemi on the job.

Joe Igbokwe photoshop was not condemned.Femi Adeshina said "Forgery is not corruption" while the loud-mouthed PACAC boss Sagay says "The minister should not be sacked because ‘she’s damn good’. He further claimed it is irrelevant if she didn’t do the mandatory youth service."

APC should be grateful that Mama Taraba sincerely showed them where her loyalty lies.What of those the unknown angels that are actually mole destroying the party from within.Those are the most fearful dangers.

ziddy:


Lol So you believe say Buhari dīck still dey rise?

Buhari hardly sacks those who work for him even when they exhibit abysmal performance on the job, once you're in he just leaves you there to do as you wish. The man must be senile already.

It takes concrete evidence of fraud and massive amounts of external pressure for him to punish errant subordinates. Just look at people like Abba Kyari, Malami and Buratai who have had the thick odour of fraud around their persons over the past few years. Look how long it took him to sack that dunce from the ministry of finance.

AreaFada2:

Make you dey look them.
A quick survey will show they are 95% SW people. Changing from seconds to seconds is no biggie.

Oshiomhole will used to do all the dirty work. Then they will hip blame on him for being "too radical" and "too drastic" in his moves when all eventually backfires. Everything has a beginning and an end.

Even if Buhari wins in 2019, Northern cabal currently quiet and soft as 2019 approach will find their voices and arrogance again. Then SW will tag along for relevance.

Then suddenly they will all remember that Oshio has little electoral value, being from Edo where APC cannot even get 500k votes.

Who do you like this? Too much vile inside you alone. Beware so that you don't die young.

Looks like you are crying too me. Lol

This old bigot is always crying. Lmaoooo

Gaddafithe2nd:

What havoc? No party wants moles in their midst just like Wike also talked about the moles in PDP. Alhassan doesn't worth to contest via APC, she is not loyal. As for Shittu, he had shot himself in the foot by not participating in NYSC despite graduating at age 25. We don't want people that will tarnish the image of the party.
