Spokesperson of the Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organisation Mr Daniel Bwala on Tuesday said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is suffering from anthropophobia which is the fear of the people.
He stated this when he spoke with Daily Independent . Bwala said the ruling party is afraid that Nigerians are ready to vote it out in the forthcoming presidential election, hence its desperate moves to have the election postponed.
He said anyone thinking of postponing the election doesn’t mean well for Nigeria.
In his words “All those who are thinking of postponing the election never mean well for Nigeria and they never mean well for our democracy. They have noticed that the Naira redesign policy has put them in a tight corner and they needed to buy time to wriggle their way through. They went to court to challenge the policy and the 10 days extension given by the President is coming to an end”.
“When they went to court, the 10 days granted to them before the hearing of that case would have been over. With that, their matter will become academic. So, they are now seeking to extend the election by four weeks so that within this period, they will go and get ‘black market’ order from anywhere that will now say that their case is suspended”.
Bwala who said the APC is suffering from fear of being voted out in the presidential election wondered why the ruling party is afraid of going to the polls now when other political parties including INEC said that it is ready for the exercise.
“If you look at it from all points of view, you will notice that anybody that is seeking for postponement of the election at this critical time of our national existence doesn’t mean well for our nation. INEC said they are ready for the election, the federal government said they are ready, political parties also said they are ready but only one political party keeps saying they are not ready and are demanding for postponement”.
“That party happens to be the governing party that should be the first to be ready for the elections. Also, it is only that political party that is fighting for an extension of the naira policy because allegedly, they have stashed a large amount of the old naira notes and they want to use it for vote buying.

“However, this policy will not permit them to do that. They are suffering from anthropophobia which is the fear of the people and society. APC is afraid of voter backlash, that the people are going to vote them out. That is why they want the election postponed”.
