The United Kingdom chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to extend electioneering campaigns till the mid-night of Thursday, February 21.

Legit.ng gathered that the spokesperson of the chapter, Jacob Ogunseye, made this known in a statement on Tuesday, February 19, in Abuja, as he said that President Muhammadu Buhari was unbeatable because of his track records of developmental achievements.

He noted that the president’s achievements in all sectors of the country’s economy would speak for him anytime any day and would secure the votes of Nigerians for him.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that INEC reversed its earlier decision to suspend electioneering campaigns

The commission, in a statement issued on Monday, February 18, in Abuja by Festus Okoye, its national commissioner and chairman information and voter education committee, however, said that campaigns would end by Thursday midnight, February 21.

Okoye said the decision to extend the campaigns was taken at the commission’s meeting with stakeholders where it reviewed its preparations for the general elections re-scheduled for February 23.

He added that while political parties and candidates could resume campaigns forthwith, electioneering must end by midnight of Thursday.

He added that by the extension of campaigns, media organisations were now at liberty to accept, publish, broadcast and circulate campaign materials up till midnight of Thursday.

He, however, enjoined political parties and their candidates to abide by the extant laws governing campaigns in the country.

Okoye thanked Nigerians for their understanding, regarding the rescheduling of the elections and appealed to stakeholders to be dispassionate and circumspect in their comments.

“The commission is focusing on the elections to be held on Feb. 23 and March 9 to ensure that they are free, fair and credible.

“We urge Nigerians to participate fully in the elections, notwithstanding the disappointment, ” the commissioner had said.

He assured that the commission had worked out in detail, concrete steps to be taken to ensure that election materials arrived polling units in good time for prompt commencement of the polls on February 23.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the APC had said that the earlier decision of the commission to suspend campaigns contravened the Electoral Act, adding that they would resume campaigns.

Ogunseye, while commending the commission for the decision, said it was an opportunity for the APC and all its candidates to shore up their winning chances ahead of the rescheduled elections.

He said that the preparedness of the APC and its candidates for the elections was, however, not in doubt while INEC’s decision to lift the embargo was an added advantage to it.

“INEC decision to extend campaigns is good for us; we only hope they are prepared for the election this time around.

“As President Buhari has said, APC candidates have no reason to be afraid of loosing elections because the party has enough support base, haven visited the 37 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to campaign. Victory is indeed ours in the coming elections,” Ogunseye said.

He, however, urged the party members across the country to use the opportunity presented by the extension and the days ahead to ensure that no stone was left unturned, adding that it was critical to secure the much needed victory for President Muhammadu Buhari and all APC candidates. NAN

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the United Kingdom called for a review of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)'s operational model in order to reform it.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
