All Progressives Congress has reiterated that it will not hesitate to consider forming a parallel government if the 2015 elections are rigged either by the use of police and military to harass, intimidate and cajole voters or through the use of a compromised Independent National Electoral Commission.
APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun stated this in his New Year message to Nigerians which he personally signed.
He said “As a party, we assure you that we will congratulate President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party if our presidential election candidate and the party are defeated in free and fair elections and will not go to court.
“However, as a party, we wish to reiterate that we will not hesitate to consider forming a parallel government if the 2015 elections are rigged either by use of security agencies (police and military) to harass, intimidate and cajole voters or through the use of a compromised Independent National Electoral Commission.”
“We are aware that it has been bleak celebrations for all of us because of the poor performance of the economy, litany of failed promises and general decay in governance in our dear country, including unpaid salaries, which is as a result of the drop in the state and local government revenues.
“The drop in state and local government revenue is as a result of corruption in government, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and oil theft supervised by government. We ask all Nigerians to exercise fortitude because the change we seek is almost here.
“We wish to also remind you that the change we expect will be a consequence of your action. That action will be to vote massively for the All Progressives Congress in the next election to herald a new dawn and bid farewell to the failed leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party.
“We ask you to collectively insist on free, fair and transparent elections because that is the only way to allow the wishes of the people to manifest.”
