The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has declared that the “weapons of mass destruction” intercepted in South
Africa were owned by “desperate politicians and their political parties”.
The ruling party said the
opposition were bent on deploying illegal, undemocratic and sinister means,
including violence to manipulate elections.
This was contained in a statement
on Sunday by Yekini Nabena, APC national publicity secretary.
Urging the Nigerian electorate to
resist evil people, APC said: “Our call comes against the backdrop of the
recent seizure of a Nigerian-bound ship detained in South Africa for carrying
arms and explosives. Nigerians will also recall recent arms seizures by the
Nigeria Customs Service.
“This is a red-flag security
agencies must note and be alert to as political activities heighten in the
leadup to coming elections.
“We invite the opposition to wake
up to new realities where votes count and the people’s will prevail in all
elections. We also call on all well-meaning Nigerians to support ongoing
progressive efforts by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration to
ensure that our elections are transparent, free, fair and credible.
“Finally, we call on the National
Assembly to urgently do the needful by reconvening to consider and pass the
2019 election budget of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
We condemn any attempt to weaken INEC ahead of the 2019 election.”
