2019: You are haunted by your own
ghosts - APC reacts to PDP's threat
to boycott election
- Adams Oshiomhole has reacted to threat by PDP to
boycott 2019 election over allegation of rigging by APC
The APC chairman said the party is not desperate to
win in 2019 and will defeat opposition in a free hand
fair election
The national chairman of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has reacted
to a threat by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
to boycott the 2019 election after accusing the
ruling party of using federal might to rig election
in Ekiti.
Oshiomhole said the APC is to win
election and will defeat the PDP in a free and fair
election, Vanguard reports.
The chairman of APC, who made the statement
over the weekend, when he received the report
of Governor Abdulaziz Yari’s
Primary Election Committee for Osun state,
accused PDP trying to cause panic by raising
unnecessary alarm.
He said: “Let me also use this opportunity to comment on
what I read about the PDP chairman. I heard him
threatening that they may boycott the 2019 general
elections. When a rabbit in the afternoon jumps out of its
hole, not because the hunter has come to smoke it out and it
is running, you will know that it has already seen its end.
‘’The truth is that we are not desperate, we have worked
hard to defeat PDP while they were in power, when they
had no faction, when all the founding
mothers were in the same house.
“Nigerian people rejected them on account of 16 years of
absolute misrule at the peak of our prosperity as a nation
when oil sold for $140 per barrel and we came in when oil
price has dropped.
“If with all those huge revenue that accrued to them, people
complained of bad roads, whether from the South to East
from the North to the West, they have nothing new to offer
to the Nigerian people.
“I think they are haunted by their own ghost and this is
because they had perpetrated a do-or-die politics and they
are on record that election matters are do-or-die affairs.
“One of their old men was recorded as saying that they
perfected the language of rigging.
Now, rigging machines
have been dismantled and their problem is how can they
survive without them.”
