The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to go beyond mere rhetoric and take concrete actions to ensure that the elections in the country are not marred by the intimidation and harassment of opposition party members and supporters as well as the deliberate disenfranchisement of voters.
The party alleged that already, the foundation was being laid to rig next month’s governorship election in Osun at source, as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been frustrating attempts by APC members to obtain their Permanent Voters Cards.
In a statement issued on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party urged the President to walk his talk as far as the organisation of free and fair elections in the country is concerned, saying all the assurances so far given by him have not translated into credible elections.
