The National Caucus of the All Progressives Congress rose from its emergency meeting on Monday with a directive to all party members to resume nationwide campaigns ahead of the presidential and National Assembly elections scheduled for Saturday.
The party’s National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, disclosed this while briefing journalists of the meeting’s outcome in Abuja.
Oshiomhole
said the National Caucus “disagrees completely with illegal
pronouncement of INEC” that campaigns had ended last Thursday.
He
said the party would prefer to obey the provision of the Electoral Act
that stipulates that campaign can hold till 24 hours to the date of the
election.
He argued that low turn out during election encourages
rigging, hence the decision of the party to encourage its members to go
out again and mobilise votes for the election.
