According
to APC, a suit seeking to disqualify Buhari was adjourned to Wednesday. Read
APC's press statement below
The All
Progressives Congress has warned against any orchestrated, last-minute
disqualification of its presidential candidate, Gen. Buhari, in order to pave
the way for an easy victory for President Jonathan or even another postponement
of the elections
"If it is
true, as it is being widely speculated across the country, that the Jonathan
Administration has procured a judgement 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,'' the
party warned in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
It
said, in addition to other reasons, the six-week postponement of the elections
may have been used by those who never wanted the polls to hold in the first
instance to shop for such a satanic judgement.
''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,'' APC said.
