Lagos APC Blasts PDP Over Call For Tinubu’s Arrest

tinubu1The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has faulted the call by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the arrest of the national leader of the party and former governor of the state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for declaring that the party would no longer go to court to reclaim its mandates as was the case in the past, saying this time, “it would be rig and roast” in the forthcoming governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun states.

APC said by its clear effort to defend the continued subjection of elections in Nigeria to manipulation and rigging, the PDP was showing that it was not about to give up its criminal ways, which had destroyed the country through the array of horrible leaders, who had been unleashed on Nigeria these past 15 years.

The party, in a press statement signed by the Lagos State publicity secretary of the APC, Joe Igbokwe, wondered why the PDP always developed paranoia whenever the issue of punishment for election riggers came up.

It said what Lagos PDP was publicising was the readiness of the party to continue to toe the path of electoral criminality, through shamelessly stealing every election and subjecting the country to the scourge of corrupt, unaccountable, unelected leadership.

“From its childish reaction to Tinubu’s warning, it is apparent that the PDP professional shameless vote robbers are getting paranoid that any action against election riggers is an action against it. It is apparent that by this impudent way to offer safe ground for election riggers, Lagos PDP and, indeed, the entire PDP is planning to continue stealing election mandates and employ same to wreck the country the same way it had been doing for the past 15 years, but we warn them that their days are over.

“We are not surprised that it is the PDP that has come in defense of election rigging, when we know the history of the party and when its name has become synonymous with fraud, not only in elections, but in every facet of life.

“That what calls itself a state chapter of a party that has been ruling the country for the past 15 years can come out and make such a specious endorsement of election rigging, as the call for Tinubu’s arrest for warning against election rigging portends, shows that Nigerians have not witnessed the last of PDP’s bizarre electoral frauds, which is the foundation upon which the PDP rests.

“We, therefore, warn Nigerians to be on their guard as the Ekiti and Osun governorship elections approach and as the 2015 election draws nearer.

“Nigerians do not have to look far to know the tragedy electoral fraud the PDP is stoically defending has done to the country. The pallid and prostrate country we have today, with wrecked infrastructures, gargantuan corruption, endless mass slaughtering of citizens, governmental incompetence and embarassing cluelessness, general state of insecurity, poverty, fear, hopelessness, despair, hunger, unemployment and disillusionment are all products of electoral fraud; the type Tinubu is warning against and the type the jokers in Lagos PDP are striving so hard to defend, because they have no life outside stealing mandates of other Nigerians for ulterior purposes.

“Is it strange that Lagos PDP sees the arrest of whoever speaks out against election rigging as its own life wire, having lost deposit with the people for the 15 horrible years they have supervised the demolition of the country?

“It is quite ridiculous, in league with the spate of incoherent and infantile statements that ooze from the dwindling cult that calls itself Lagos PDP that the party will try to tag Tinubu’s timely warning against election rigging as capable of worsening the security crisis it presides over in the country.

“Does the party need any star-gazer to tell it that the problem of insecurity, among other myriads of problems that have overwhelmed Nigeria today, is as a result of the shameless and criminal manner the PDP manipulated elections for the past 15 years to throw up incompetent, hugely compromised leaders, who surreptitiously divide Nigerians along religious and ethnic lines for their selfish interests?

“Lagos PDP is trying desperately to criminalise the timely warning of Tinubu, so as to protect a more heinous and very criminal act of election rigging, which is the main reason Nigeria has been hobbled today. We warn the party that Nigerians are ever ready to arrest its shameless thirst for stolen and diverted mandates and whoever tries to steal the mandate of the people should be roasted to serve as a deterrent to other electoral cheats.

“We want to join our voices with the inimitable Tinubu’s to warn that those who think Nigerians will continue to tolerate their wholesome rigging of elections for purposes of self-enrichment and mass pauperisation, as the PDP has done in the past 15 years will either jettison that criminal intent or face the wrath of the people”.
