The All Progressives Congress in Osun State has described the change in the dates of the general elections from February 14 and 28 to March 28 and April 11 as postponing the dates when the Peoples Democratic Party will suffer electoral defeat.

Also, a chieftain of the APC in Lagos State, Chief Ayo Akande, has described the postponement of the general elections as a dangerous signal for Nigerias democracy.

The state Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, said this in a statement in Osogbo on Tuesday.

The APC said that it was very clear that INEC was ready for the elections but the PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan used security excuse to change the polls date.

Akande, in a statement on Tuesday, said that the antics of the Peoples Democratic Party to stay in power despite the failure of the party to deliver good governance would not work.

The APC leader alleged that the postponement was a conspiracy by the Independent National Electoral Commission to cause apathy among the electorate, adding that President Goodluck Jonathan has a hidden plan to remain in power with the poll shift.

Akande warned the President not to plunge the country into unrest, citing the case of Liberia under Samuel Doe, who unintelligently sent the Liberia people into pains of war; up till now they are yet to come out of the problem.

The statement partly read, By this action, President Goodluck Jonathan is plunging the country into a dangerous path that could truncate democracy in the country.
