Former Ag. National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and now a Chieftain of
the APC, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje has
disclosed that five more governors of the party
and their structures are joining the leading
opposition party, APC, ahead of the 2015 general
elections.
He disclosed that the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP was behind the proposal for an interim
government if General Muhammadu Buhari won
the Presidential election.
According to him, the ruling party has been
planning many tricks including the postponement
of the election, stressing that the APC will join
Nigerians to reject such undemocratic action by
the ruling party.
Baraje said it was honesty of purpose that has
kept APC growing and accepted by the masses.
The APC chieftain, who did not disclosed the
identity of the governors, stated this in Ilorin, the
Kwara State capital while speaking with
journalists to mark his 64th birthday.
He added that Nigerians are tired of deceit,
manufacture of economy figures, and unfulfilled
promises by the President Goodluck Jonathan’s
administration.
He commended INEC for extending the collection
of Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, saying the
electoral body has been insisting on the election
date and stressing that the APC members stand
firmly with INEC’s position.
Baraje added that his party was strongly against
the use of Temporary Voter Cards, TVCs,
stressing that it was a gateway to election
manipulation by the ruling party.
He urged Nigerians to vote for APC Presidential
candidate on February 14, adding that the party
stands firm on free, fair and credible elections.
