The All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned against any
orchestrated, last-minute disqualification of its presidential candidate, Gen.
Muhammadu, in order to pave the way for an easy
victory for President Goodluck Jonathan or even another
postponement of the elections
”If it is true, as it is being widely speculated across the
country, that the Jonathan Administration has procured a judgement to
disqualify the APC Presidential Candidate on Wednesday, when the Federal High
Court in Abuja is expected to rule on the issue, then itportends a great danger
for our country,” the party warned in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by
its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
It said, in addition to other reasons, the six-week
postponement of the elections may have been used by those who never wanted the
polls to hold in the first instance to shop for such a satanic judgement.
”Anyone who will disqualify a presidential candidate on the
eve of an election can only have one and only one purpose for that: to trigger
chaos and pandemonium across the country. Perhaps this is the reason for the
deployment of troops across the country to crack down on possible protests and
create confusion
”Then, those who orchestrated the disqualification will
simply use what they expect to be angry reactions nationwide as aan excuse to
postpone the elections again, thus triggering a constitutional crisis, the end
of which no one can predict.
”This is why we are hoping that good reason will prevail and
nothing will be done, deliberately, to plunge Nigeria into crisis by the same
people who have always been quick to say their political ambition is not worth
the blood of any Nigerian,” APC said.
