The Peoples Democratic Party on Saturday challenged the All Progressives Congress to, immediately, come out clear and explain to Nigerians its link with the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, which informed the opposition party’s huge interest in his (Jega’s) stay in office.
The PDP described as curious the new found interest of the APC on Jega.
It declared that it is more than ordinary.
The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, threw the challenge in a press statement in Abuja.
Metuh, in the statement, observed that the APC has continued to fabricate stories and show undue interest on Prof. Jega, stressing that such raises a lot of questions for the opposition and the INEC chairman.
According to him: “Undoubtedly, the frenzy, hysteria and spate with which the APC has been inventing stories regarding Prof. Jega’s stay in office even when nothing suggests that such was on the table, raise a lot of issues.
“We ask: is there any underlining issue or arrangement between APC and Prof. Jega which the opposition is hell-bent to protect, informing its anxiety and apprehension towards his stay in office?”
Metuh challenged the APC to come out clean and tell Nigerians the real reason behind its false alarms and uncontrolled nervousness regarding Jega ahead of the 2015 general elections.
The PDP added: “Finally, we wish to remind the leadership of INEC that Nigerians are monitoring its activities and series of unfolding political events ahead of the elections, and will not accept anything less than the conduct of credible, free and fair general elections come March 28 and April 11, 2015.”
