Lagos APC condemns attack on APC governors

“All things considered Lagos APC is led to believe that PDP led by President Jonathan is ready to pull Nigeria down and crush the project Nigeria instead of allowing the opposition to win power in a free and fair process”

The Lagos State chapter of the APC has warned that Presidency and its agents are capable of crashing our hard earned democracy unless Nigerians rise up to defend their fundamental human rights of freedom of speech and freedom of association.

In a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, the Party says all pretences and doubts about the dictatorial tendencies of President Jonathan have now been removed as Nigeria is now under a full blown dictatorship.

 Nigerians should no longer pretend that all is well with the polity given the disturbing and dangerous signals coming from the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan.

Mr. Igbokwe said, “Today Thursday June 19 2014 Governor Adams Oshiomhole’s aircraft was forcefully prevented from landing in Akure Airport on his way to Ekiti State to show solidarity to his colleague, Governor Kayode Fayemi

“Governor Chibuike Amechi who cleverly avoided confrontation with Airport security personnel’s learning from previous experiences tried to reach Ekiti State by road but soldiers stationed by President Jonathan menacingly stopped him from reaching Ekiti State.

“It is now crystal clear that the presidency and PDP are bent on taking the country back to the days of locusts and this portends grave danger to the political landscape given the hard road Nigeria traveled to get to where we are today.

“All things considered Lagos APC is led to believe that PDP led by President Jonathan is ready to pull Nigeria down and crush the project Nigeria instead of allowing the opposition to win power in a free and fair process.”

The party adds, “All eyes are now fixed on Ekiti State to see what we make of June 21 2014 Guber Elections and should we bungle this litmus test once again as it was done in Anambra State? No, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

The party says “It is warning the powers that be in Abuja to go back to history to learn the bitter lessons of the South West politics that the people have zero tolerance on electoral brigandage as fingers can be burnt in the process”

“It is not too late for the President and his agents to retrace their steps and allow a free and fair process to prevail in Ekiti State.”
