The All Progressives Congress on Tuesday said free, fair and credible elections, would be the best way to avoid post election violence.
It also dismissed allegations by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party that the party was plotting to foment trouble should it fail to have its way in 2015.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said this while speaking to reporters in Abuja.
He said the APC was committed to a peaceful conduct of the elections and had called on all other parties to join the APC by educating their members on the need for rancour-free elections in 2015.
According to him, the APC has through its recently concluded presidential primary, demonstrated to the world that a free and fair poll is possible in Nigeria.
He noted that this was only possible if the political actors and the government were serious in entrenching true democracy.
The APC spokesman said the PDP had only embarked on an intense campaign to portray the APC in a bad light when it realised that its approval rating had plummeted over the years.
Mohammed expressed fears that the Internally Displaced Persons, who were victims of the Boko Haram insurgency, might be disenfranchised, as no arrangements had been made for them to vote. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
