The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Niger State has stated that it will not accept any result marred with discrepancies in the next general election as against the admonition of the state governor, Dr Muazu Babangida Aliyu, that politicians should accept the outcome of the elections, no matter what.
APC in the state in a statement by the publicity secretary, Jonathan Vatsa, chided the governor whom they claimed in a recent statement said that Nigerians should accept any result of the election declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) saying that it was a pointer to the fact that the ruling PDP is out to rig the election and declare result that is contrary to the wishes of the people.
“APC views the comment by the governor as not only undemocratic but a clear message to Nigerlites and, indeed, Nigerians that the PDP has made up its mind to declare any result and want Nigerians to accept it in good faith”, the statement reads in part.
The chief press secretary to the governor, Israel Ebije, however, said for the party to make such reaction to the call of the governor, it indicated that the APC is ready to cause trouble in the state.
According to the statement by the APC, “It is clear now that the PDP in the state has lost the hope of winning the coming elections in a free and fair contest because of the reception it has received from Nigerlites and the ongoing decamping of its members (over 300 of them in one week) to APC and has, therefore, resulted to rigging of the elections as the only way out.
“In view of this, APC wants to warn and make it clear that our party will not accept any result of the forthcoming election which does not represent the will of the people of the state and Nigerians in general, ‘Enough is Enough of election rigging in this country’”, it added.
