The APC spokesperson, Lai Mohammed, has said the party will neither accept an interim government nor a postponement of next month’s elections.
Mr. Mohammed warned that any attempt to scuttle the polls in preference for any other arrangement will be resisted by all available constitutional means.
"We are aware that those who are not comfortable with the turning of the political tide in favour of the opposition ahead of the elections are scheming to abort a possible victory for our party, through either an interim government or a postponement of the elections.
"These enemies of Nigeria include those who are worried by the strong anti-corruption stance of our party and its avowed commitment to good governance, and those who favour the status quo of anything goes, bad governance and massive corruption that have left Nigerians deeply pauperized and traumatized," he said, while making reference to the alleged claim of Mr Deji Adeyanju, an aide to Dr. Doyin Okupe.
"Our stand is simple but needs to be restated," the APC said.
"The 2015 general elections must hold as scheduled all over Nigeria, and our party is ready for the elections. As we stated earlier, we will only accept the outcome of a free, fair, credible and transparent elections, not that of manipulated polls. We will also not agree to the postponement of next month’s elections under any guise, and an interim arrangement plot is totally unacceptable to us. We challenge the ruling PDP to also state its own stand on next month’s polls for the world to note.
"We also challenge the presidency to state its own stand and to also distance itself from the anarchic and treasonable statement by one of its own over the forthcoming polls."
