The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has challenged the All Progressives
Congress (APC) to come out clear and explain to Nigerians the links
between it and the Chairman of INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega, which informs
and propels its feverish fixation and huge interest in his stay in
office.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on Saturday
said it is more than curious that the APC has continued to fabricate
stories and show undue interest on Prof. Jega, adding that such raise a
lot of questions for the opposition and the INEC Chairman.
“Undoubtedly, the frenzy, hysteria and spate with which the APC has been
inventing stories regarding Prof. Jega’s stay in office even when
nothing suggests that such was on the table, raise a lot of issues.
“We ask, is there any underlining issue or arrangement between APC and
Prof. Jega which the opposition is hell-bent to protect, informing its
anxiety and apprehension towards his stay in office?
“While it is noted that the APC is a party of one week, one lie, we in
the PDP look beneath the surfaces to the deeper issues propelling the
lies. We therefore challenge the APC to come out clean and tell
Nigerians the real reason behind their false alarms and uncontrolled
nervousness regarding Prof. Jega ahead of the 2015 general elections.
“Finally, we wish to remind the leadership of INEC that Nigerians are
monitoring its activities and series of unfolding political events ahead
of the elections, and will not accept anything less than the conduct of
credible, free and fair general elections come March 28 and April 11,
2015”, the party said.
