All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned President Goodluck Jonathan and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) against rigging the 2015 general elections, threatening to from a parallel government if the wishes of the people were upturned. Former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, also on Tuesday finally dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for APC and spoke of why Osun people should not vote for PDP.
Speaking at the grand finale of the campaign rally for re-election of Governor Rauf Aregbesola in Osogbo, the state capital, APC National Chairman, John Oyegun, warned that any attempt by the President to rig the 2015 election in favour of his party would consume his government. Thousands of APC supporters, including the leaders who thronged the Osogbo Sports Stadium, venue of the campaign, defied downpour to witness the rally.
Oyegun, who spoke against the backdrop of underdevelopment in most parts of the country, said the PDP has no meaningful programme for the masses of Nigeria, insisting that the Jonathan’s administration was the worst in the history of the country. According to him, “the battle line has already been drawn. The APC will no longer accept any stolen mandate. We shall not recognise any government that emerges through rigging in February 2015.”
“The APC will set up a new government, which will be a peoples’ government if the PDP rigs the 2015 Presidential election. We are prepared to monitor the election and if it is eventually rigged, a new government will emerge in this country,” the APC chieftain assured his supporters. While expressing optimism that Aregbesola would win the Saturday governorship election in Osun State convincingly, Oyegun added: “Let no one tamper with the Osun governorship election, any attempt to rig the election will not be allowed by the APC.”
