APC Chides PDP Over ‘Disgraceful’ Comments On Attacks On INEC Offices

The All Progressives Congress, APC has condemned what it Thursday described as the disgraceful and despicable desperation of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in trying to link the APC and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to the spate of attacks on the offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

The APC in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Barrister Felix Morka said the PDP was only trying to outdo itself in its past infamy on its “irredeemable descent into the dark abyss of inglorious political history.”

The APC in the rebuttal said that it was illogical for the APC with its towering presidential candidate and against the background of what it asserted as the solid accomplishments of President Muhammadu Buhari to be afraid of elections.

GWG.ng reports that the PDP through its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba had accused the APC of masterminding the attacks on the offices of INEC supposedly as a way of suppressing votes against the APC’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Tinubu.

Debunking the claims Morka said the APC was a responsible party which abhors all forms of violence and electoral malpractices.

“We stand united with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in its effort to conduct a free, transparent and fair election next year. We have and continue to, unequivocally, condemn attacks on INEC’s facilities and staff, and urge our security agencies to protect these important facilities, and to bring perpetrators of these acts to justice,” the APC’s Morka said.

“Without a doubt, the PDP’s false alarm and baseless allegations against our great party only belies their twisted wish that next year’s election be averted as a face-saving exit strategy for what they already know would turn out to be a well-rounded electoral interment of their decadent and expired party.

“PDP’s vain attempt to associate our respected and respectable Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to their imagined plot to disrupt our elections is beyond the pale. PDP has always been intimidated by the towering popularity of our Presidential Candidate who is tirelessly traversing the length and breadth of our country justifying his bid for the highest office in the land, and renewing hope of a more vibrant future for all Nigerians.

“It is clearly illogical and infantile to suggest, as the PDP attempts to do, that the undisputed front runner and preferred Candidate to win next year’s Presidential Election, bolstered by the profound accomplishments of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, would engage in acts or plots to scuttle an election he is eminently confident of winning. Nigerians are smarter and more discerning than the PDP believes them to be.

“It bears mentioning for the umpteenth time that one of many legacies APC is bequeathing to Nigeria, is independent and credible electoral system. The new Electoral Act, the introduction of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS); the conduct of credible off-season elections in Anambra, Osun and Ekiti; adequate funding of INEC and improved capability of the security forces remain pointers to this unassailable fact.

“While the PDP keeps busy milling falsehood and propaganda as preferred electoral strategy, we choose to remain undistracted, resolute and focused on serving Nigerians and soliciting their valued support ahead of the 2023 general elections,” the APC said in its remonstration of the PDP over its comments on the attacks on INEC offices.
