2019 Election: APC Loses Zamfara State! by budaatum: 4:11am On Oct 14, 2018
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, has no governorship candidate in Zamfara state ahead of the 2019 general elections. The party premised its position on the failure of the party to beat the deadline for party primaries stipulated by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan stated this yesterday while addressing newsman at the party’s headquarters in Abuja.

The publicity scribe said: “Our position has not changed. Since Zamfara state APC did not meet the October 7 deadline, then it means that they have no candidate for 2019 general elections.

“You remembered after our national convention, we alerted the nation that the closing date for primary and congresses was October 7th and since that day, the Zamfara state chapter of the APC has not held a singular congress to elect candidate into various position that will be contested in 2019 general elections.

“We warned INEC because we are aware of underarm measures and moves by the leadership of the APC who summoned the INEC chairman and the governor of Zamfara state to a meeting.

“We raised the alarm because we are democratic party, and we have respect for the 1999 constitution as amended. And all the the electoral law guiding our elections.

“As such, we warned INEC not to allow itself to be subdued by the APC. For once they must not allow any form of collusion with the APC.

APC has no governorship candidate in Zamfara – PDP


Also mess up in Rivers State!

Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State yesterday told the party’s National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole that the state would not like the declaration of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Zamfara for the State. The party members stated this at the National Secretariat where they had protested in support of Senator Magnus Abe governorship candidature.

According to them, if something was not done fast about the Rivers State APC, it would face the same pronouncement INEC gave to Zamfara State. INEC on Tuesday wrote to APC, stating that the party would not field candidates in Zamfara State since the party failed to conduct primaries in the state.

Or maybe you are just giving them 2-0 advantage seeing as they so crap anyway? Now that would be confidence. But incompetence if you lose by 2, my bubu.

Atikulation is not about being Igbo , Hausa or Yoruba! Its about saving Nigeria from turning into a warzone. With what happened since 2015 nobody needs a soothsayer to know that even Osinbajo will not be spared after 2019

INEC boss, Mahmood Yakubu says ban on Zamfara APC stands
Pulse News Agency Local by NAN 15.10.2018


Yakubu stated this on the sideline of the opening of a two-day validation workshop on Monday.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it stands by its statement that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will not field candidates for the 2019 general elections in Zamafa.

INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, stated this on the sideline of the opening of a two-day validation workshop titled “Study on the cost of elections in ECOWAS Region” on Monday in Abuja.

“We have issued a statement on Zamfara and nothing has changed. We stand by the statement that we issued,” he said.

Yakubu re-emphasised that the deadline for submission of party candidates’ name to the commission was Oct 18, saying that it would give a full report on that after Nov. 18.

INEC had informed the ruling APC in a leaked memo that it would not be allowed to field candidates for elective positions in Zamfara in the 2019 elections.

The commission’s acting Secretary, Okechukwe Ndeche, in a letter to the APC said that the party was barred from fielding candidates for governorship, national assembly and state assembly elections.

The commission said this was because APC failed to comply with Sections 87 and 31 of the Electoral Act of 2010.

Parties, according to the act, were expected to comply with the timetable and schedule of INEC, which says that the conduct of primaries must be held between Aug. 18 and Oct. 7.

INEC said it received reports from its Zamfara office, indicating that no primaries were conducted in the state “notwithstanding that our officials were fully mobilised and deployed.”

The APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, later responded to INEC in a statement and said that the party had already arrived at a consensus before the deadline.

Oshiomhole said that following the high level of friction, disagreements and threats of violence by various political camps before the primaries, all the aspirants met at City King Hotel, Gusau, to find a truce.

“After hours of intense horse-trading, a consensus was reached within the spirit and context of the electoral act and the constitution of our party.

“This was done in strict compliance with Section 87 (6) of the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended),” he said.

He said that the claim by INEC that no primaries were conducted could only be referring to its officials’ observation that actual voting did not take place.

The APC chairman said that conduct of primaries was not the only mode prescribed for producing candidates in the electoral act, 2010 (as amended).

“We, therefore, affirm that indeed, primaries took place in Zamfara State,” Oshiomhole said.

The party chairman also noted that PDP had similar issues in Kano State and wondered why INEC did not bar the opposition party from fielding candidates.
