2019: APC attacks PDP over INEC

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has responded to the claim by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was working for the ruling party.

The APC dismissed the allegation, maintaining that the PDP lacked the credibility and rectitude to question the integrity of INEC.

The party also called on the PDP to compare INEC in its 16 years in power to INEC now.

APC National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, challenged the main opposition party to retrospect on the elections it conducted in the past 16 years it was in charge, arguing that they were riddled with fraud, irregularities and litigations.

He said the statement by the PDP was a confirmation that they were losers.

“PDP knows that it cannot withstand the ruling party in a free and fair poll and that must have informed the recent alarm targeted at discrediting INEC.

“I want to emphasise that APC has confidence in INEC and before PDP can discredit INEC, they should retrospect and appraise the performance of INEC during their 16 years in power and compare it with the performance of INEC now.

“The PDP knows that it didn’t conduct credible elections while they were in charge,” he said.
