The
#1 opposition force of Nigeria, the All Progressives Congress (APC),
warned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the other contestants of
the upcoming Ekiti and Osun gubernatorial races that rigging at the
elections would not be tolerated.
A former governor of
Lagos State and APC National Leader Bola Tinubu made this declaration in
his speech at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso,
Oyo State, where he was given a doctoral degree in Management Science
and decorated as the chancellor of the university on April 23, 2014,
Wednesday.
Tinubu confirmed APC’s previous declarations on readiness to form an alliance with Jonathan’s Administration in the war against terrorism in Nigeria, however, noted that his government was “married to corruption”.
Tinubu said that the war being unleashed on Nigeria by the insurgents had reached a point where Jonathan should develop a grand strategy to put an end to the criminal activities of the insurgents.
The governorship poll is scheduled for June 21, 2014, in Ekiti and for August 9, 2014 in Osun. The Independent National Electoral Commission has already found out massive irregularities during voters’ registrations in the two states.
“We are prepared not to go to court but to drive you out. We will not take it anymore. If you mess up in Ekiti and Osun states, you will see our reactions. For every action, there must be a reaction.”The ceremony at the university was attended by Muhammadu Buhari, Atiku Abubakar, Bisi Akande, Abiola Ajimobi, Rauf Aregbesola, Abdulfatah Ahmed among others.

“Patriotism is about country, not about self or religious bigotry. On this issue all Nigerians must stand bi-partisan, united and in complete solidarity against the threat to our nation.”APC leader debunked the allegations that his party has pacts with Boko Haram insurgents or with any other violent groups.
“We seek your votes, not your lives. Boko Haram is our enemy because the Nigeria we seek has no place for their wicked recreation.”He further advised Jonathan to seek solution for Boko Haram violence at the regional level, by improving cooperation between Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger, as well as within the African Union
