After sending out an alarm that its leaders’ lives are in danger, the All Progressives Congress (APC), is said to have started making arrangements for private security.
The opposition party has reportedly increased security presence around the homes and offices of its leaders and chieftains, as well as the arm-carrying private security details.
Some of the party members revealed this to Punch newspaper, on the condition of anonymity.
A member of the APC dislosed that party chieftains had resorted to making plans for security after coming to the realization that the Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government may withdraw the services of regular security men as the elections approach.
He said: “We cannot pretend we don’t know what the PDP is up to. There is more to the deliberate harassment of our leaders by security agencies within the last one week.”
“First, it was Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Rochas Okorocha; then our Presidential Campaign Director of Media, Mr. Garba Shehu. Only God knows who will be next. It was in this same country during election period that Chief Harry Marshal and Bola Ige were killed. Only a careless person will rely solely on government security men who can be withdrawn at any time,” the APC source added.
