The All Progressives Congress (APC) has promised to support the commitment of President Goodluck Jonathan in his quest to conduct free, credible and violence-free elections this year.

This promised was issued in Lagos on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party pledged its support to the president’s commitment but urged the President to match the commitment with action.

The party said;”In a statement we issued on Dec. 28th 2014, we assured Nigerians that we will do everything in our power to make the 2015 elections violence-free. Since then, PDP National Chairman Adamu Muazu and the President have joined us in making similar pledges. This is a welcome development that will gladden the hearts of our citizens who are very apprehensive about the forthcoming elections,”

The APC urged the FG and all other agencies who are stakeholders in the conduct of election to create level playing platform for all parties.

”If an election is free, fair and transparent and seen to be so by all, it will be easy for all concerned to accept the outcome, and there will be no violence. Violence only occurs when there is a realization that the process has been skewed against some and in favour of others,” the party stated.

”We also restate our stand that even with the little time left for the election to hold, a meeting of the leadership of the two main political parties, the APC and the PDP, will send a powerful message to our compatriots and indeed the international community and douse the tension that is building up ahead of the election,” APC said.

The APC wished Nigerian a prosperous new year and urged them that the votes can be use to place Nigeria on the path of change
