Report: Call Buhari, APC to Order, PDP Urges World Leaders"},"content":{"rendered":"<div id=\"m-3981334948290481051\" class=\"mail-message expanded\">\n<div class=\"mail-message-header spacer\">The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) charges Nigerians and the<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-content collapsible zoom-normal mail-show-images \">\n<div class=\"clear\">international community to hold President Muhammadu Buhari and the All<br \/>\nProgressives Congress (APC) responsible, should there be violence ahead<br \/>\nof the 2019 general elections or in the aftermath, as alerted by the<br \/>\nUnited States Institute of Peace (USIP).<\/p>\n<p>The party, in a statement signed by its spokesman, Mr. Kola ologbondiyan<br \/>\nalso urges world leaders and international bodies to immediately call the<br \/>\nBuhari Presidency and the APC to order, so that their electoral<br \/>\ndesperation does not result in a large-scale political and humanitarian<br \/>\ncrisis in our country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The PDP said that the independent report by USIP, which details the<br \/>\nplots by the ruling party to \u2018use intimidation tactics\u2019 in the electoral<br \/>\nprocess, has vindicated its stand that the APC has been stoking the<br \/>\nambers of violence, having realized that Nigerians have rejected it and<br \/>\nthat it will lose in any credible, free and fair election.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The use of violence and intimidation by the APC in recent elections,<br \/>\nincluding the Ekiti governorship election as well as recent<br \/>\nbye-elections in Kogi, Bauchi and Katsina states, further validates<br \/>\nUSIP\u2019s report on the violent proclivities of the APC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Besides, USIP\u2019s direct caution to the Independent National Electoral<br \/>\nCommission (INEC) over its manifest credibility doubts to deliver<br \/>\ncredible election, also places a huge moral burden on INEC Chairman,<br \/>\nProf. Mahmood Yakubu, given its exposed clandestine meetings between<br \/>\nofficials of the commission and APC leaders on ways to rig the<br \/>\nelections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While the PDP expresses worry over the desperation of the APC as<br \/>\nreflected in the USIP report, our party calls on all Nigerians and<br \/>\nfriends of our nation to rally in unity against the machinations of the<br \/>\nAPC, a party that has shown itself to be against the unity and stability<br \/>\nof our country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Moreover, Nigerians are already decisive on a peaceful and united<br \/>\ncountry, where compatriots live harmoniously and will do all to resist<br \/>\nthe divisive machinations of the APC, particularly ahead of the 2019<br \/>\ngeneral elections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Furthermore, President Buhari and the APC should know that no amount of<br \/>\nintimidation and harassment can break the will of Nigerians in their<br \/>\niron-cast resolve to rally on the platform of the PDP to free our nation<br \/>\nfrom the oppressive grips of the incompetent and anti-democratic<br \/>\nBuhari-led APC administration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nigerians have witnessed enough violence, bloodletting and deaths under<br \/>\nthe APC and are not ready to allow such to prevail in the 2019 general<br \/>\nelections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;President Buhari and the APC should therefore accept the reality of<br \/>\ntheir rejection by Nigerians and immediately retrace from all their<br \/>\nanti-democratic tendencies and actions that tend to push our nation to<br \/>\nthe brinks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer
