APC faults INECs position on early campaigns

The All Progressives Congress has slammed INEC for acting too little, too late by issuing a warning on illegal public political broadcast and campaign, saying INECs belated action is highly suspicious.

In a statement issued in London on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said INECs action, coming after the PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan have been campaigning endlessly for the 2015 elections, can only be to the disadvantage of other candidates and political parties.

Is it a ploy by INEC to give undue advantage to the PDP and its adopted sole presidential candidate, President Jonathan, in next years elections? it queried

APC wondered where INEC was when the so-called Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria group was organising noisy rallies across the country, attended by government officials and designed to benefit President Jonathan and his party, the PDP

The party also expressed shock that INEC has been in a deep slumber since the so-called Protectors of Nigerias Posterity have been running adverts on television solely for the benefit of President Jonathan in next years elections.

When did INEC become aware that these actions are illegal, considering that Section 221 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which INEC quoted in its warning letter, says no association, other than a political party, shall canvas for votes for any candidate at any election or contribute to the funds of any political party or to the election expenses of any political candidate at an election, it queried.

APC said what TAN has been doing all along is to canvas for votes for President Jonathan, in a clear violation of the Constitution as well as the Electoral Act, which bans political campaigns until 90 days before election.

Our party, joined by well-meaning Nigerians, had publicly alerted INEC to these campaigns and the fact those behind them are breaking the law, but INEC merely responded with some unbelievable sophistry. Now that those illegal campaigns have run for several months, INEC suddenly awoke from its slumber to issue a warning on illegal campaign.

This is unbecoming of an election umpire that expects to be taken seriously, an umpire that is expected not only to be fair but to be seen as such, and one that knows its onions. This caution by INEC is coming too little, too late, itsaid.

Well keep catching PDP moles, says Lai Mohammed

The National Publicity Secretary of the All progressives Congress, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, says the party is aware that there are many spies of the Peoples Democratic Party within the APC. He, however, maintained that they would keep fishing out spies of the PDP from the party.

Mohammed, said this during an interview with our correspondent.

He said this while responding to questions on why the APC waited for a former Governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, to join the PDP before accusing him of being a Boko Haram sponsor.

A former Governor of Lagos State and national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, also alleged three weeks ago that a leader of the party, Chief Tom Ikimi, was also a mole of the PDP.

The APC spokesperson said because the APC was a combination of three national parties, it was easy for the PDP to plant moles in the APC.

He said the issue was also more complex because in a democratic setting, it was improper for a political party not to allow an individual to join its camp.

He said, Sheriff was always the PDPs mole and we even suspected him of being a Boko Haram sponsor when he was in our party. You see the APC is a combination of the Action Congress of Nigeria, the Congress for Progressive Change and the All Nigerian Peoples Party. Sheriff was from the ANPP.

It is difficult spotting moles of the PDP in our party but every now and then, their actions give them away and we begin to watch them. And we will keep fishing them out.

When asked what the difference between the APC and the PDP was since almost the same politicians made up the two parties, Mohammed said the ideology of the APC was what made the difference.
