democracy<\/a> and lead to breakdown of law and order if not immediately reversed.\u201d<\/p>\nThis was contained in a statement released by the\u00a0National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba titled \u2018Confirmation of APC\u2019s Rhoda Gumus As INEC Commissioner, A \u201cCoup\u201d Against Democracy.\u2019<\/p>\n
The PDP said, \u201cIn confirming Prof Gumus, the APC-led Senate leadership has exposed itself as anti-people and completely insensitive to the aspiration of Nigerians for credible and transparent elections in 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe action of the APC-led Senate is highly provocative and incendiary because it is in violation of Paragraph 14 (2)(a) of the 3rd Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), which provides that \u201ca member of the Commission shall be non-partisan and a person of unquestionable integrity\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch violent assault on the Constitution and our electoral process by the APC cannot be allowed to stand.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe media space is awash with reports of Prof. Gumus as a member of the APC in Bayelsa State with APC Registration Form No: BAY\/YEN\/08\/58315 and reportedly as number 27 in her APC Ward Register.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the PDP, in nominating and confirming an APC card-carrying member into INEC, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and the APC-led Senate leadership have recklessly violated the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) which they swore to uphold and defend.<\/p>\n
It said, \u201cThis action is designed to corrupt and compromise the electoral Commission and pave way for the APC to rig the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigerians can recall how President Buhari had earlier sought to impose his aide and card-carrying member of the APC, Lauretta Onochie, as INEC Commissioner but was stiffly resisted by Nigerians.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe APC which thrives in impunity has again nominated and confirmed Prof Gumus, another APC card-carrying member as National Commissioner in INEC in flagrant violation of the Constitution and total disregard for the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n
\u201cProf Gumus must not be allowed to be used to pollute INEC. Her mission is already exposed and our party is ready to mobilise our members and all patriotic Nigerians across the country by taking legitimate actions to protect the integrity of the electoral body.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur party, therefore, issues a stern caution to Prof Gumus to, in the interest of peace, steer clear of INEC as there is no way she can function in that office as a card-carrying member of the APC.<\/p>\n
\u201cDemocracy is about transparency of elections. Nigerians cannot believe in the integrity of the process with Prof Gumus in INEC. Her entry and continuing stay in INEC will be toxic and taint the Commission with bias and manipulations ahead of the 2023 elections since her appointment and confirmation are unconstitutional.\u201d<\/p>\n
The PDP called on President Buhari to immediately withdraw Gumus\u2019 appointment as INEC National Commissioner in line with his oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
According to the party, this will assure Nigerians that the President is committed to free, fair, transparent and credible elections in 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe PDP salutes and commends the efforts of the Civil Society which continues to remain relentless in the fight for credible electoral process from appointment of officers of INEC, processes of election as well as the collation and declaration of election results.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur Party urges the Civil Society and all well-meaning Nigerians to continue to insist that appointments into INEC must be transparent and in line with the provisions of the Constitution and other relevant laws,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
