APC govt will end insurgency -Buhari

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday expressed shock at reports of the latest Boko Haram attacks in Borno State.

The sect attacked Maiduguri, Konduga and Monguno where over 40,000 more refugees were reportedly joining the ranks of the internally displaced persons.

In a statement signed by the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mallam Garba Shehu, Buhari was quoted as expressing his condolences, support and prayers to all IDPs including soldiers affected by the latest insurgent attacks.

The statement partly read: Buhari, however, assured the situation in the affected areas wont last forever.

While I commiserate with the latest victims of this despicable orgy of violence in Borno State, I equally implore them to bear in mind that this situation wont last forever, Garba quoted Buhari as having said.

In spite of the incompetent handling of this insurgency by the Federal Government, solution is in sight with the APC set to dislodge the PDP administration that has ruinously led this great country for nearly 16 years.

Buhari will inherit a sick economy, says el-Rufai

The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Kaduna State, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, said the presidential candidate of the APC, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), will inherit a sick economy when elected as President in the February.

El-Rufai noted that he would inherit a bankrupt state if eventually elected as the chief executive officer of Kaduna State in the February 28 poll.

The former minister of the Federal Capital Territory spoke at an Organised Private Sector interactive session on Tuesday in Kaduna.

He said the state was reeling under domestic liabilities totalling N106bn owed to various sources.

He argued that most of the money received or generated is used to settle debts, adding that about N700bn was wasted in the past seven years in the state, a situation he described as most unfortunate.

El-Rufai noted that the nation was presently passing through an economic crisis as it was in 1983.

General Muhammadu Buhari will be inheriting a broken economy like he did in 1983, just like I am going to likely inherit a bankrupt state when we take over power, he said.

Speaking on his manifesto, the governorship candidate said if elected into office in February, he would, among other things, develop human capital, ensure a free and compulsory education for the first nine years for all children in the state as well as fix schools and improve on teachers training.

He said he would ensure that the salary of teachers were higher than any civil servants in the states workforce.

Other area that would receive his attention, el-Rufai said, was the security of lives and property of the people of the state.

APC alleges fresh plot to scuttle Feb elections

The All Progressives Congress has said it has uncovered a fresh plot by those it called anti-democratic forces to use the courts to postpone or scuttle next months general elections.

APC called on the judiciary to protect the nations democracy, urging Nigerians to repudiate the desperadoes and their allies who are behind the plot.

In a statement in Lagos on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the APC said after the efforts to stop its presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), failed, those the party described as anarchists had perfected plans to use the courts to stop the elections at all cost.

It alleged that the case instituted at a Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, seeking a declaration that Gen. Buhari lacked the requisite qualification to contest the February 14 presidential election, was the first in a series of court cases to be instituted to stop the polls.

We are not surprised at this, because these desperadoes are so predictable. They are following the footsteps of the infamous Association for Better Nigeria, which helped to annul the 1993 elections and which threw Nigeria into a crisis from which it has yet to fully recover, over 20 years later.

We can only appeal to the judiciary not to become a willing tool in the hands of those who will stop at nothing to scuttle the elections, just to perpetuate their firm grip on power, APC said.

The party argued that President Goodluck Jonathan was afraid that if the elections would hold as scheduled, he would lose to Buhari by a wide margin.

APC said, An ally of presidential aide Doyin Okupe has revealed that President Jonathan will rather have the military take over than hand over to the APC candidate. Though Okupe has made a tepid denial, the revelation has exposed the thinking and the desperation within the Presidency, ahead of the elections.

We are also aware that up till this moment, the President has yet to repudiate the ex-militants in the Niger Delta, who have threatened the countrys very existence if he(Jonathan) is not re-elected, as if elections are won by fiat.

When this is added to ongoing moves to depopulate the North-east, which is an opposition stronghold, using scare tactics, one can see that this presidency and the PDP are as terrified and desperate as they can be.
