APC, Buhari warn of fresh plots to stop electionsm
The All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday alleged new plans by the presidency and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to scuttle the forthcoming elections using the National Council of State.
The charge came as the APC presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), in a separate charge, accused the PDP of working in cahoots with the presidency to re-enact a political impasse similar to June 12, 1993 election.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, at a press conference in Lagos alleged that the Presidency had commenced a desperate lobby of members of the National Council of State to move the body to push for the postponement of the election.

In a statement issued by his campaign spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu, Buhari said: “We want to call the attention of Nigerians and the international community to the repeated calls for the postponement of the forthcoming presidential election.
“We do not have any difficulty to discern that these groups are working out the script of some agents in the ruling party. We also want to call on the security agencies in the country to stop any further public parade by this outlawed group.
“Let us remind Nigerians that the power of our democracy has been tested in the past by this outlawed group during the June 12, 1993 presidential election and our democracy won and will win again.”
