Blaming us for your inability to use Eagle Square is mischievous, cheap blackmail, APC replies Kwankwaso
“the 2019 elections will not be won by cheap campaign ground antics but actual votes from the Nigerian electorate who are wise and know who is working in their interest. Never again will we return governance of our dear country to the hands of those that selfishly have held us back for years.”
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to claims by a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on his inability to use the Eagles Square Abuja for his Wednesday’s declaration for Presidency.
In a statement titled, “Re: Inability of a Presidential Aspirant to Use Eagle Square”, issued by his National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, Wednesday said it was mischievous to blame the ruling Party for inability of Kwankwaso to use the facility as venue for his declaration.
“We frown at mischievous attempts in some quarters to blame the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the inability of a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential contestant to secure the Eagles Square for his declaration.
“The Party read in the media reasons given by the facility managers of the Abuja International Conference Centre and Eagles Square not to allow campaigns in its facility on Wednesday to avoid disruption of work flow at the federal secretariat, the main hub of civil servants in Abuja.
“Hence the allegation is unnecessary and misplaced. We should not be dragged into a private transaction involving entities we have no business with,” the APC said.
In any case, it posted that “the 2019 elections will not be won by cheap campaign ground antics but actual votes from the Nigerian electorate who are wise and know who is working in their interest. Never again will we return governance of our dear country to the hands of those that selfishly have held us back for years.”
