The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has warned “President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress,
APC, to perish the thoughts of staying in power a day beyond May 29, 2019.”
PDP issued the warning in a
statement signed by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan.
The opposition party also
cautioned the, “Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu not to allow the APC and the Buhari Presidency to
use him to execute their plots to frustrate the conduct of credible 2019
elections and push for illegal tenure elongation for President Buhari.”
PDP said it was, “Aware that the
mooting of postponement of the already scheduled general elections by the INEC
Chairman, is a product of series of clandestine meetings between his commission
and the APC on ways to frustrate the 2019 elections, having realized that there
is no hope for President Buhari in the polls.”
The statement reads, “Nigerians
and the international community have also noted the various ploys by INEC to
frustrate a credible elections, including its stiff opposition to the amendment
of the Electoral Act by the National Assembly to check APC rigging plans in
addition to its exposed collaborations with INEC to manipulate the voters
register, enrol underage voters and secretly creating 30,000 illegal polling
centers in certain remote areas from where it plans to allocate fictitious
votes to the APC.
“Nigerians may recall that the
PDP had earlier alerted of the plot by the Buhari Presidency to enmesh the 2019
elections into a needless controversy by deliberately delaying the presentation
of the election budget to the National Assembly until the time the parliament
was proceeding on annual recess.
“Ostensibly to ensure that the
election does not escape controversy, President Buhari demanded that the fund
be taken from already approved budget for lawmakers’ constituency votes,
despite entreaties by well-meaning Nigerians for a fresh budget for the
elections.
“Seeing that Nigerians are
standing shoulder to shoulder with the PDP to resist and dismantle their
rigging machinery, the APC and Buhari Presidency are now trying to use INEC to
frustrate the elections and cause crisis in our country.”
The party, therefore, “rejects
this plot by APC and INEC. The 2019 election must hold as scheduled. Nigerians
are ready for elections and cannot wait to vote out President Buhari and his
dysfunctional APC.
“In that wise, our party cautions
the INEC Chairman to open up, expose the Buhari Presidency and immediately
commence the application of its constitutional First Line Charge funding
instruments instead entangling itself with the plot to destroy our nation,” the
statement added.
