By Eric Elezuo

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has held a press conference in Abuja, where they addressed the state of the ongoing vote Collation exercise, and the call by some political parties to cancel the entire electoral process and remove the present Independent National Electoral Commission chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu.

During the conference, which appeared terse, the APC chieftains, led by media adviser to the presidential campaign council, Dele Alake, the party expressed their disdain to the call for cancelation, saying that there is no election that is perfect.

Alluding to Nigerians with languages ranging from ‘ignorant’, ‘common sense’ and more, the APC agreed that no one has the monopoly of violence.

During question, Arise TV correspondent had pointed out that the language being used by the men on the table was not appropriate considering that they are on live broadcast. She had barely finished when she descended on, and shouted down by the chieftains. Most of them including Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, who repeated muttered that the correspondent was rude, and has no right to tell them how to address their press conference, were placate by Mr Dele Alake, who led the team.

The APC believes that their candidate has already the election, and called on the candidates of the PDP and LP to call and congratulate their candidate.
