The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole has said that many political parties have been writing him to demand money in exchange for endorsing President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of the 2019 general elections.
Oshiomhole disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja when the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) received a delegation of International Republican Institute (IRI) and National Democratic Institute (NDI) led by former Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of African Affairs, Amb. Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
He also debunked claims by opposition parties, especially the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the judiciary, and security and anti-corruption agencies, have lined up in a bid to ensure Buhari’s re-election.
The former Edo State Governor further disclosed that although many individuals and groups had expressed concerns over the high number of political parties, INEC could not stop registering them because doing so would negate the freedom of association enshrined in the constitution.
Oshiomhole said, “It is absolutely untrue to suggest that the security forces have been on our side. The second is to look at common logic. The PDP were in power for 16 unbroken years. What this government is fighting against today is trying to change this assumption that it is either win or the system should go under.
“The President has had to order that security of a governor who cried out be immediately restored. It is unfair to suggest that such a President is not ready for a free and fair election.”
