APC warns against disqualifying Buhari from poll
(Nigeria) The All Progressives Congress, APC, has warned
against any orchestrated, last-minute disqualification of its presidential candidate,
Gen. Muhammadu 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 it portends a great danger for our
country,'' the party warned in a statement 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.
