The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said there is no dispute whatsoever regarding its electoral victory in most parts of the northern states during the March 28 presidential poll.
The party’s Deputy National Chairman (North), Senator Lawan Shuaib, said the introduction of the card reader device which was effectively deployed during the election in every part of the North did a lot to strengthen the credibility of the polls.
Shuaib, who spoke in an interview with THISDAY in Abuja yesterday, in reaction to the comment made by President Goodluck Jonathan regarding the credibility of the presidential poll result in the North, said the voting process was transparent, insisting that Muhammadu Buhari’s victory cannot be faulted.
“Elections in most parts of the North were free and fair because there was hardly any area where the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC’s) card reader machine was not used.

PRESIDENCY MOVES TO REPLACE MU'AZU WITH S'SOUTH GOVERNOR

Despite threats of sanctions by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the leadership crisis in the party continues to deepen, as aides of President Goodluck Jonathan have moved to replace the embattled national chairman of the party, Adamu Mu’azu, with an outgoing governor from the South-south.
This is coming as the former governor of Ebonyi State, Dr. Sam Egwu, has warned against any leadership change that would remove Mu’azu or members of the NWC, cautioning that the problem of the PDP stems from lack of discipline and internal democracy, which the incumbent NWC was not allowed to enforce at both the national and state levels.
THISDAY gathered that the move by the presidential aides and associates of the president is aimed at altering the zoning of offices in the PDP, which would see the national chairman of the party coming from the South-south, while the presidential candidacy will be zoned to the North, preparatory to the 2019 election.
