The All Progressives Congress (APC) has resolved to continue with its campaign in the light of the postponement of the elections.

This was announced by Adams Oshiomhole, the APC National Chairman, at the party’s national caucus meeting held in Abuja on Monday.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced the postponement of the elections by one week, respectively, hours before the presidential and National Assembly elections were scheduled to begin on Saturday, February 16, 2019.

At another conference with political stakeholders later that Saturday, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC Chairman, had stressed that campaigns remained suspended.

However, the APC has taken a contrary position, insisting that it would continue with campaigns till Thursday, in line with the provision of the Electoral Act.

Oshiomhole said: “You know that when you have low voter turnout, that is when election rigging is most easy. Voter turnout and voter apathy can result from the confusion. If at our level, we are sufficiently disturbed, what would be the fate of the ordinary man? I think we need to remind them across the country that elections have been rescheduled and they should have trust, faith, and remain determined to vote. The process of doing that would require that we return to campaign between now and Thursday this week. Friday is not a campaign day.

“To ask us as a political party not to go out? The , our people, would have forgotten. Some would have assumed that ‘look, I’m not sure what these people want’. And the result could be very, very low turnout. That is not good for a party that has huge, huge base. It can only be good for a party that is not sure of its level of grassroots .

“So, without consulting INEC, we are proceeding and we are ready to meet them in court. Because they cannot by istrative fiat amend or distort extra provisions in the relevant electoral act and those laws are not secret to INEC.”

This election has already been extremely compromised.

Oshiomole apc cry cry babies have been reduced to opposition party.

Buhari should just get ready to congratulate atiku the incoming President of Nigeria .

Una dey see now o

Its normal with this devilish party and it leaders, always going against the law...
Anything can be possible with Buhari as president and Oshiomhole as National Chairman...
Mr. Lie will come and defend this....
Oh! .... They still have Tinubu...

NAIJA DON ENTER ONE CHANCE O

Proceed

We know you guys are bigger than INEC.

We know how Tyrant Buhari is, who will you Campain to?
Nigerians that have made up their minds not to allow Baba spend another week in Aso Rock.

We are ready to send Baba Packing jor.



Osho is saying, "They might have forgotten".

I thought they said Buhari has so work that everyone can see.... They should let his work speak.

I think inec should allow the campaigns to resume till Thursday. However, I know most parties wouldn't be campaigning but moving around for political alignment and realignment.

Nigerians have looked back this past 4 years and what we have seen is only total darkness and misery. Life has been so miserable within just 4 years of only one man Buhari, is it the herdsmen killings, bokoharam killings, disunity, nepotism, python dance on armless protesters, Shitte Muslims killings, Poverty capital of the world, what have we not seen within just 4 years of this man Buhari, what??.

Anyone thinking of voting Buhari again may all these calamity listed above follow your immediate family from generation to generation, non shall escape it till eternity. Amen

what is INEC?

Fck yo. We gansgter like that.

Una need am seriously but that would Not save you from defeat

Its a joke


With APC candidates as inec contractors

They called gej names, but common election they can't do

Funny how you consulted this same INEC to postpone the election on behalf of your rigging plans.

Guilty conscience is a bad thing. Apc has been incoherent in the last 48 hours.

Abi o. Baba too much projects carry go. We ain't going back to Egypt land of looting and abandoned projects.


A vote for Buhari is a vote for continuity of our railway project.


It's a vote for judicious use of our little resources which has been drastically reduced due to global fall in the price of crude oil sold to international communities.

Nigeria situation could be likened to a market woman who sells 20 number of corns at a rate of 110 naira per each daily. Years later, the market leaders eventually reduced and controlled the price at 50 naira. The market woman is still expected to sell same 20 number of corns but nothing higher than this. Tell me if the woman's income would increase or decrease? However, if the woman had saved enough when the corn was still priced at 110 naira, she wouldn't be affected by the fall in sales price, pending the time sale price would increase once again.

That's the situation of Nigeria today. When crude oil which is our main source of foreign revenue was selling at $110 per barrel for more than 5 years under Jonathan, Jonathan didn't save but looted us dry instead. We're suffering from this effect today now that crude oil has been selling at a poverty rate of $50 per barrel for the past 4 years under Buhari yet Buhari istration has had so many projects undertaken by him despite earning 60% less.

If only people knew what other oil countries such as Angola and Venezuela are ing through during this global crude oil price recess, they would thank God Buhari came in rather than Jonathan who looted us dry despite oil boom when crude oil was selling at $110 per barrel for five years unlike the paltry $50 it has been selling under APC. If the looting Jonathan couldn't save during the time of plenty and was already borrowing, how would he have carried on during this crude oil price recess?




Despite Buhari istration earning 60% less yet he's come up with plenty projects such as

Our railways at itakpewarri, Lagos-ibadan, Lagos-Abeokuta, kaduna-abuja etc,

The production of low cost fertilizers,

Zik maoseleum

Baro inland port,

Kaduna inland dry port,

Port Harcourt airline terminal,

Abuja airline terminal,

Rice mills,

Foreign reserve increase from $26b to $43b,

Construction of our express highways such as enuguonitsha, Lagos-ibadan etc.

Social policy schemes such as tradermoni, npower etc

Payment of all pensions of airline staffs that were forced to retire after the shambolic privatisation by Atiku. PDP didn't pay them in the last 16 years.

And most especially, stabilizing us through this recession which happened because jonathan failed to save despite earning 60% more than Buhari. Note that there's been a global fall in the price of crude oil from $110 per barrel in 5 years under Jonathan to a paltry $50 per barrel under Buhari istration yet Buhari was able to keep us afloat while having many projects to his name thereby surprising Ngozi Iweala and Charles Soludo who predicted recession because jonathan looted and failed to save during the time of plentiful.

Sai Baba. PDP, Neva again

Seconded. Well thought out...

Obey the Constitution.

That's ALL.

APC rascality and law breakers continue

No time.
Unto the NEXT LEVEL please.

Na today?
