The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, has revealed an alleged plot by the President Goodluck Jonathan-led Peoples Democratic Party to derail the APC campaign by freezing the accounts of party leaders, Bola Tinubu and Rotimi Amaechi.
In a statement released on Saturday, February 28, by the Director Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential campaign, Garba Shehu, the opposition party said the Jonathan-led PDP intends to cripple its campaign by also grounding the aircraft and private jets of party chieftains.
Shehu said the plot to destabilise the APC and cripple its flag-bearer, General Muhammadu Buhari, may not be unconnected to the global attention on his performance at the United kingdom’s Chatham House last Thursday.
He also disclosed that information at the disposal of the APC shows that Jonathan’s administration plans to use the Aviation Ministry and the security service to hound and clampdown members of the APC.
The statement read in part: “The hint we gather from sources is that the government, through its agents, is plotting to ground aircraft 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.”
“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.”
