The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the concern communicated by the government of the United States of America (USA) in view of the governorship elections in Edo and Ondo states.

In a bid to reject the displeasure expressed by the Unites States Mission in Nigeria, over the worsening situation in Edo state, Acting Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Yekeen Nabena, asked the US to concentrate on addressing its own internal political turmoil, rather than raising alarm about political activities in Nigeria.

In an interview with newsmen today in Abuja, Nebena said the APC had always been a law abiding party and would not compromise in the conduct of peaceful elections in Edo and Ondo states. He sounded a note of warning to the USA to stop raising the red flag on political matters in Nigeria, advising it to show a good example to the world by resolving “unsavoury political disturbances” in its own space. “

Meanwhile, a statement from the National Publicity Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party, Kola Ologbondiyan yesterday showed that he took cognizance of the advice given by the USA when he said the suggestion of the U.S is welcomed and should be a guiding light for all parties, particularly those who are intending to use fake police.
