Please read this press statement released by PDP below:
“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has challenged theAll Progressives Congress(APC) to come out clear and explain to Nigerians the links between it and the Chairman of INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega, which informs and propels its feverish fixation and huge interest in his stay in office.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on Saturday said itis more than curious that the APC has continued to fabricate stories and show undue interest on Jega, adding that such raise a lot of questions for the opposition and the INEC Chairman.Undoubtedly, the frenzy, hysteria and spate with which the APC has been inventing stories regarding Prof. Jega’s stay in office even when nothing suggests that such was on the table, raise a lot of issues.
We ask, is there any underlining issue or arrangement between APC and Prof. Jega which the opposition is hell-bent toprotect, informing its anxiety and apprehension towards his stay in office?While it is noted that the APC is a party of one week, one lie, we in the PDP look beneath the surfaces to the deeper issues propelling the lies.
We therefore challenge the APC to come out clean and tell Nigerians the real reason behindtheir false alarms and uncontrolled nervousness regarding Prof. Jega aheadof the2015 general elections.
Finally, we wish to remind the leadership of INEC that Nigerians are monitoring its activities and series of unfolding political events ahead of the elections, and will not accept anything less than the conduct of credible, free and fair general elections come March 28 and April 11, 2015”, the party said.

National Publicity Secretary.
