The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation on Wednesday chided President Goodluck Jonathan for his alleged alliance with ethnic warlords.

It said it was disappointed that the President was aligning with individuals and groups who had been threatening to tear the country apart in case he (Jonathan) failed at the February 14 presidential polls.

The campaign organisation was reacting to a meeting held between the Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Kingsley Kuku and ex-militant leaders in Yenagoa last week.

APCPCOs reaction was contained in a statement signed by the Director of Media and Publicity of the campaign, Garba Sheu in Abuja.

The APC campaign noted that, this unholy alliance by the President with elements that served notice of their diabolical intention to foment trouble is in negation to the oath of allegiance sworn to over five years ago by the President to maintain the territorial integrity and indivisible Nigeria.

Condoning treasonable statements and gross indiscipline by some elements of his kinsmen is a breach of the presidential oath to protect all Nigerians and a sheer display of double standard and selective justice.

How can the President feign ignorance of the war plots and calls to arms in Bayelsa State Government House in Yenagoa, supervised by a PDP Governor, Seriake Dickson, and the Presidential Special Adviser on Amnesty Programme, Kingsley Kuku, with majority of Niger Delta ex-militant kinsmen.

The campaign pointed out that it was curious that the President was quick to condemn MEND for allegedly supporting the opposition candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.

This, the party said, was the same government which was casting aspersions on Dr. Stephen Davis the hoax Federal Government-hired Australian negotiator with the Boko Haram; and bad-mouthing his critics especially a former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.

Shehu said it was shocking that the President had refused to caution tribal war-mongers such as Kuku and his cohorts Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, Boy Loaf and others.

The All Progressives Congress Kaduna State Campaign Council on Wednesday suspended its rally for the Kaduna Central Senatorial District, also know as zone two.

The rally, which is slated for Saturday, has been shifted because of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential rally, scheduled to take place on the same day.

The Director-General of the Kaduna APC Campaigm Council, Mr Ben Kure l, said though the APC had long planned its campaign rally for the same day, the party decided to shift the rally because of its commitment to peace.

Our teeming supporters always make our rallies colourful with their passion and enthusiasm. We have a duty to avoid having them on the streets when a rival party is doing a rally, he said.

Kure also urged the party supporters to continue to be peaceful and avoid responding to provocative statements from the ruling PDP.

According to him, it is expected of supporters to respect the members and supporters of other political parties as fellow citizens and residents, who just happen to have different political parties.

The APC has momentum and its supporters are focus on the party message. Our supporters must continue to shun any act of stoning, pelting or any manifestation of intolerance or violence, he said.

He thanked the people of zone one, otherwise known as Northern Senatorial zone, for the successful campaign in the area.

From Kudan to Lere, Kubau, Soba, Sabon-Gari to Zaria, the people showed that the APC is their firm choice. We thank them for embracing the message of change, he said.

The presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), on Wednesday expressed shock at reports of the latest Boko Haram attacks in Borno State.

The sect reportedly attacked Maiduguri, Konduga and Monguno, with 40,000 displaced residents joining the ranks of the increasing Internally Displaced Persons.

In a statement by the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mallam Garba Shehu, Buhari was quoted as expressing his condolences, support and prayers to all those -including soldiers affected by the latest insurgents attacks.

The statement partly read, Buhari, however, assured the people that the situation in the affected areas wont last forever.

While I commiserate with the latest victims of this despicable orgy of violence of Borno State, I equally implore them to bear in mind that this situation wont last forever.

In spite of the incompetent handling of this insurgency by the Federal Government solution is in sight with the APC set to dislodge the PDP administration that has ruinously led this great country for nearly 16 years.

Buhari commiserates with latest Boko Haram victims

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has accused Governor Ayodele Fayose of claiming projects executed by his predecessor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, as his own to mark his first 100 days in office.

The opposition party described the first 100 days of Fayoses administration as a celebration of fortunes reversal for the state, saying all the gains achieved under former Governors Segun Oni and Fayemi had been eroded by Fayoses government of deceit founded on impunity and violence.

In a statement by the APC State Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, the party said while both Oni and Fayemi raised the bar in modern governance founded on rule of law and due process, Fayose had no respect for the rule of law, due process and civil approach in government and the governed relations.

Accusing Fayose of falsehood in claiming Fayemis administrations projects as his projects within 100 days, Olatubosun added that 19 of the presidential campaign buses allocated to Ekiti State were donated to the police few days ago for security duties as part of Fayoses achievements.

The asphalt overlay at Fayose Market he commissioned is an MDG project already paid for by the Fayemi administration. The asphalt plant he commissioned was bought and paid for by Fayemis administration. Fayose only received the equipment when they were shipped into Nigeria.

The Mathew Street road is the joke of the century as Fayose only fixed the culvert and graded some portions of the road which he now commissioned as a project. This is nothing short of taking Ekiti people for a ride. It is chicanery of the highest form.

Now that it has been established that Fayose did nothing in his first 100 days in office, we wish to say that so far, Fayose has set back the hand of clock of progress in Ekiti State through cloudy management of public funds and violence on the good people of Ekiti State, including taking from the poor to expand the coast of his mindless acquisition of wealth.

Credible evidence shows that the governor is acquiring landed properties in choice areas of the state. A plot of land opposite Fayose market has just been acquired by the governor. How can Fayose take another mans projects as his projects?

What is he doing with Ekiti money running into billions? Why is he holding such large sums of money and yet he cant pay salaries? Are all these what Fayose promised during his campaign, Olatubosun queried.

The APC spokesman said while Fayose was deceiving Ekiti people with fake projects within 100 days, Fayemi had concrete projects he executed to the applause of Ekiti people during his 100 days in office.
