All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign
Council (APCPCO) has described the dastardly plot
by PDP to grounding of aircrafts and freezing of
bank accounts of APC as bestial and undemocratic.
Buhari campaign spokesman, Garba Shehu said: "The
plot to destabilise the APC and cripple its flag-bearer,
Muhammadu Buhari, according to a statement by the
APC Presidential Campaign Organisation may be linked
to the unsettling global attention on the Party after the
opposition candidate's triumphant performance at the
United kingdom's think tank, Chatham House on
February 26, despite futile public protestation by a PDP
rented crowd in London."
He continued, "In as much as we understand politics to
be a game of wits and guts, yet the desperate way and
manner the PDP and its henchmen are going is
anathema, criminal and inimical to our nascent
democracy and civilised human behaviour. Hence, any
attempt by anyone to cripple the APC and its
presidential candidate will be foiled by the citizens who
have taken over the movement of change as symbolised
by General Muhammadu Buhari. The hint we gather
from sources is that the government, through its agents,
is plotting to ground aircrafts and freeze bank accounts
of APC stakeholders. But history has shown that the
forces of evil can never succeed against the zeal of men
and women of virtue and good deeds.
"Information at our disposal has uncovered the ruinous
plan by the Jonathan administration to use the Aviation
Ministry and secret arm of the Security Service to
hound and clampdown members of the APC, by
prospecting obnoxious means that would ground private
jets belonging to senior members of our party, in order
to halt and slow down Buhari's world-acclaimed
phenomenal popularity as President-in-waiting.
There is also a plot to block or freeze the bank accounts
of APC chieftains like Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
Governor Rotimi Amaechi (Director General of APC
Presidential Campaign Organisation), and other
prominent leaders believed to be funding the General's
campaign; and availing him their aircrafts for
electioneering purposes," Mr. Shehu said.
Mr. Shehu recalls "that private jets conveying APC
Governors, Amaechi of Rivers State and Adams
Oshiomhole of Edo State, were either prevented from
taking-off or landing during crucial political occasions,
particularly during the infamous Ekiti State
gubernatorial elections that saw PDP's Ayodele Fayose
'defeating' Dr Kayode Fayemi, in a most controversial
"military-assisted" contest now known as 'Ekiti-gate
Tape'".
Buhari and his vice, Osinbajo had travelled to London
where they delivered an epic speech on their plans for
the nation if the win this election. |
