[TOP STORY] REWIND: APC threatened to form parallel government if 2015 presidential poll was rigged | TheCable
, Osinbajo replied that the PDP had a history of mismanaging elections and APC had indeed insisted that if such happened in the 2015 election,“It’s important to bear in mind that it is really up to the ruling government to ensure that elections are free and fair. And we made our points repeatedly that it is up to the ruling party to ensure the election is fair. Every time there is a free and fair election, there would be absolutely no crisis,” he said.
On November 24, 2014, the former Rivers governor spoke in Abuja and said APC had met and agreed to “install our own government” should the party sense any foul play. “If you rig us out, we will rig ourselves in. This means if you think you can rig us out in 2015, we will form our own government. We have met on that and we have agreed on that. We will install our own government and there will be two governments.
“Those who are fretting about this statement are those who are planning to rig the elections, and they should be warned that Nigerians will no longer accept the outcome of any fraudulent polls. Those who incite the people are those who steal their mandate,” Lai said.
