“APC wishes to assure you that it has no plans to compromise the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as they are committed to following the electoral process.
“We have already undertaken massive mobilization during the election campaign and we have no intention of weakening this process, knowing full well that Aidatiwa will move towards victory.”
