The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has challenged the All Progressive Congress (APC) to explain to Nigerians its link with the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission and why he should continue in office.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, in a statement in Abuja on Saturday, said it was more than curious that the APC had allegedly continued to fabricate stories and show undue interest in Jega.
He said, “Undoubtedly, the frenzy, hysteria and spate with which the APC has been inventing stories regarding Prof. Jega’s stay in office even when nothing suggests that such was on the table, raise a lot of issues.
“We ask, is there any underlining issue or arrangement between the APC and Prof. Jega which the opposition is hell-bent on protecting and informing its anxiety and apprehension towards his stay in office?
“While it is noted that the APC is a party of one week, one lie, we in the PDP look beneath the surface to the deeper issues propelling the lies.
“We therefore challenge the APC to come clean and tell Nigerians the real reason behind their false alarms and uncontrolled nervousness regarding Prof. Jega ahead of the 2015 general elections.
“Finally, we wish to remind the leadership of INEC that Nigerians are monitoring its activities and series of unfolding political events ahead of the elections, and will not accept anything less than the conduct of credible, free and fair general elections come March 28 and April 11, 2015.”
A bastard commenting Metuh Olisa! It has been PDP’s antics bragadoing people to paint APC bad. How many attempts have your party done to scuttle the APCs victory? First by shifting the election to March and now trying to remove Jega for unjustifiable reason. Do you think Nigerians of today are the same as in 2011? Nigerian youth have the majority population and are ready to change your bad government. You killed many of our colleques graduates applicants looking for job without remorseness. Nigerians will surely change PDP come March 28. No jupita can stop us. Change! Forward ever backward never.
