The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the invasion of the United States of America Congress, by persons they described hoodlums, adding that America used to be a baseline for measuring democracy in other countries.

The party further stated that the events in the US have shown how the integrity of a president can complement the workings of national institutions.

The party made its position known in a statement issued on Saturday by the secretary of its Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Senator John James Akpanudoedehe.

The party also added that upon ultimately gaining victory in 2015, the Buhari administration had carried out fundamental reforms to strengthen national institutions, citing non-interference in the functions of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as one of its democratic credentials.

“The events of the past 72hrs in the United States of America is, to say the least condemnable. Over time, the elections of the US has been used as a touchstone for elections in other democracies.


It is settled that strong institutions are fundamental to the sustenance of democracies. However, this US election saga strongly underscores the fact that the integrity of the country’s leader essentially complements the workings of these institutions.

“President Muhammadu Buhari contested and lost elections a couple of times and followed the process through to the Supreme Court on all accounts. This is an outstanding credential of a true democrat,” APC stated.

Adding that “the APC has contested elections; won some, lost some without splitting hairs. In fact, at some point, the APC lost over 5 states to the PDP, yet we allowed democracy to prevail. We have remained resolute in our belief that in every electoral contest, the popular will must prevail.

“This is a far cry from the days of the do-or-die politics of PDP, where civilians took control of the security apparatus to subvert the people’s will and determine the outcome of elections.”

According to the party, electoral reform is a core plank of the programs of the APC-led administration and a legacy that Mr president has promised to bequeath to Nigerians.

“Other institutional reforms include the excision of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and inauguration subsequently by Mr President, as advised by the EGMONT GROUP, to eliminate the siphoning of Local Government funds and to entrench financial autonomy for local government Councils in Nigeria.

“Recall that successive PDP governments rejected local government autonomy which hitherto encouraged undue interference in the running of local government administration by state governments and was linked to restiveness among the youth.

“The signing into law by Mr President on May 2020, of ‘the Executive Order No. 10 of 2020 for the implementation of Financial autonomy of State Legislatures and State judiciaries and other related matters’ is a bold statement on institutional reforms. These are aimed at strengthening these institutions. When they are financially independent, then they can be firm and fair in their decisions

Looooooooooool


Nothing wey Charlie charlie no go see for pencil ✏️

Trump see how much you have ridiculed America that even Buhari and APC are giving you lectures on principles of integrity and rule of law.

The other day it was Zimbabwe, Russia, China and even European agbero Turkey.

Even Nnamdi Kanu said he was the one who told you not to attend the inauguration

It's not intentional, but the same bad feeling I had when Goodluck Jonathan was kicked out is the same feeling I'm having now. Curse me all you want, the events in the US are only a fulfilment of what must be. My comment seems paradoxical. To them who have insight, and a heart that understands, they know what I mean...

see how bubu and apc are now using trump to shine

APC is a party filled with jokers. Their governance reeks of ineptitude, lies, failed promises, illiteracy and stupidity. They should leave trump alone and continue what they know how to do best; run the country aground.

Even a mad man is entitled to his opinion, so they are free to say anything.

Mumu people...

Exactly

Forget what deranged frustrated wailers say on social media. Buhari always takes the high road every single time. He never exchange words with low lifes and whatever he says is what he will do.

Trump indeed ought to have learnt from buhari

Wonder shall never end, they are putting president and integrity in the same place, APC and mumu way of trending are like 5 &6. I just hope Joe Biden will also have the courage to stand against human Right abuse that is happening in Nigeria now and the world in general just the way Trump has been doing for the past four years now.

Can you imagine? , APC now has guts to compare Trump to that senile cow we have at Aso rock.... My prayer is that what happened to Nigeria in 2015 shouldn't happen to America in 2021 because it seems like that's what about to happen.

Which PMB?

America is overrated country.

Most of their politicians are bad leaders.

How come a sick man trump cant wait for another four years to contest again?
Why he keep chasing a lost battle?
He is nothing but sick in the head.

Obviously america is a third world country.

Nothing wey Musa no go see for gate, imagine comparing the lifeless one and the Orator

you are right, Buhari doesn't exchange words with anyone. He has liar Mohammed, femi adesina, garba shehu, lauretta onochie and BMCs to that for him or he will just arrest the person.
