APC WARNS AGAINST LAST MINUTE DISQUALIFICATION OF BUHARI

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned against last minute disqualification of their Presidential Candidate, Muhammadu Buhari following speculations that Jonathan administration has procured a judgement to disqualify Buhari.

The National Publicity Secretary for APC , Lai Mohammed in a statement said, "If it is true as its being widely speculated across the country, that the Jonathan administration has procured a judgement to disqualify the APC Presidential Candidate on Wednesday(today), when the Federal High Court in Abuja is expected to rule on the issue, then it portends a great danger for the nation"

The statement further said, "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"

A lawyer, Chukwunweke Okafor had on January 26th 2015 filed a suit asking for the disqualification of Buhari fot not presenting his school certificate along with his Form CF001 to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)

Judgement is expected to be given today.
