The vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Prof Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), on Friday evening in Abuja said his party would only accept the outcome of the March 28 presidential election, provided the election is free, fair and credible.
According to him, the party is not bothered by the threats by 15 political parties to pull out of the election over the use of card readers.
He spoke with journalists after being a guest at the Catholic Social Forum with the theme: “Promoting the Culture of Violence-Free Elections in Nigeria.”
He said the use of card readers by the Independent National Electoral Commission was not electronic voting as being painted by some people.
Osinbajo maintained that APC was not afraid of threat from any quarter, adding that the party was interested in the use of card readers to ensure credible election.
He stated that the party would not accept the outcome of anything short of free, fair and credible polls.
He said, “We (APC) are not bordered by the threat to pull out of the election by any party, it is their choice to participate. We want credible election. We want to ensure that all PVCs are genuine, we don’t want rigging.
“We have confidence in God, we are ready to accept the outcome of the election provided it is free and fair; we expect that this election must be free and fair and that is why we are taking all these troubles, as we are educating our people.
“Don’t forget that under the same INEC that is now being feared by PDP, our party lost election in Ekiti and Anambra. In 2011, it was the same gentleman (Attahiru Jega) that conducted election, we went to court, contested it, but all of a sudden the same PDP said they are jittery. If the election is not free and fair, we know the right and constitutional thing to do.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

If it favours you then it is free and fair. If it didnt favour you then you will form a paralell govt. APC is a boko haram party. They should go to sambisa forest and celebrate their failure.

DeleteIf free and fair by apc assessment abi? Thank God that ICC is there this time around.Ot would not be business as usual like the last post election violence in which many Nigerian were killed in cold blood.
ReplyDeleteIf the election is free and fair you will accept it if it is.not baboon and dog will soak in blood abi? You already know the out come of the election , you are just tempting God to see if He can change His mind. All the men of God have told you the mind of God including your Daddy Go but as an anti Christ you must fight
ReplyDeleteWho's really afraid of card readers being used? Those who have perfected the use of the military as was done in Ekiti State- this equation is balanced. Let there be credibility and fairness in the conduct of the elections. Let card readers be used. This comment is apolitical!
ReplyDeleteHas Prof Osinbajo consulted his sponsors? They have their minds if it goes against them. History refers!
ReplyDeleteAnytime APC wins election, then that election is free and fair. But anytime PDP wins and they lost the election, that is the time they will say the police is bias, the army intimidate APC voters, inec is not good, bla bla bla... Sir, Yemi Osinbajo, please, know that you have already lost/failed the election, but what i will like you to do, is to pray to God well that let there be no killing like the 2011 election because you have lost the election, if there is, then those blood will cry in such a way that you and your generation will not no peace. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIf is free and fair by your assessment abi? Otherwise Baboon and dog wI'll be soaked in blood , you already know the outcomes of the election, even your Daddy in the loan made it know to you the mind of God it is just that you are anti Christ
