any last-minute disqualification of its Presidential
candidate, Muhammadu Buhari .
The party stated this on Tuesday, March 24, via a
statement released by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai
Mohammed.
The statement reads:
“If it is true, as it is being widely speculated across the
country, that the Jonathan Administration has procured a
judgment to disqualify the APC Presidential Candidate on
Wednesday, when the Federal High Court in Abuja is
expected to rule on the issue, then it portends a great
danger for our country.”
“Anyone who will disqualify a presidential candidate on the
eve of an election can only have one and only one purpose
for that: to trigger chaos and pandemonium across the
country. Perhaps this is the reason for the deployment of
troops across the country to crack down on possible protests
and create confusion.”
“Then, those who orchestrated the disqualification will
simply use what they expect to be angry reactions
nationwide as an excuse to postpone the elections again,
thus triggering a constitutional crisis, the end of which no
one can predict.”
“This is why we are hoping that good reason will prevail
and nothing will be done, deliberately, to plunge Nigeria
into crisis by the same people who have always been quick
to say their political ambition is not worth the blood of any
Nigerian.”
A court which was hearing a suit seeking Buhari’s
dismissal has adjourned the case to Wednesday, March 25.
