The All Progressives Congress
(APC) says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is having sleepless nights
because it will win the 2019 elections by a landslide.
In a statement on Friday, Yekini
Nabena, APC’s acting spokesman, said this why the PDP is desperate and has
started campaigning early “to attract non-existent votes”.
“Meanwhile, the PDP has realised
that the 2019 elections has been won and lost. If the election is held today,
it is clear that the APC will win by a landslide, judging by visible and
landmark achievements recorded by the President Buhari administration,” the
statement read.
“This is an apparent fact that
gives the PDP sleepless nights, hence its daily lies and propaganda in its
desperate, failed and early campaign to attract non-existent votes.”
Nabena asked Senate President
Bukola Saraki to reconvene the national assembly to enable the lawmakers
consider the election budget.
He also called on Nigerians,
civil society and the international community to resist the alleged travesty
and “legislative rascality being perpetuated by the senate president and the
PDP.”
“The PDP attempt to hide under
the yet-to-be assented electoral act amendment bill is an attempt to draw
attention away from the treasonable actions of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola
Saraki who has refused to convene the national assembly to consider at plenary
the crucial 2019 election budget of the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC),” he said.
“The electoral amendment bill
passed by the national assembly is alive and awaiting assent. However, assent
to bills in all democratic governments reflects the prudence and discretion of
the president in balancing the powers of key constitutional bodies and
understanding the concerns of the executive.
“While we strongly condemn the
abuse of office by the senate president backed by his PDP cohorts in sabotaging
the executive, specifically INEC, all well-meaning Nigerians have a duty to
speak up and ensure that the national assembly performs its constitutional role
and not serve an individual’s personal interest and sinister ends of the
opposition PDP.
“The sanctity of our electoral
system is being threatened by this orchestrated sabotage and deliberate attempt
to weaken INEC as we prepare for general election in 2019.”
