The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it has uncovered another plot being hatched against the leadership of the party, by sympathisers of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party.
According to the APC, this time around, the plot is to import a huge amount of money (in US dollars) which are being ferried into Nigeria by some people who will then claim they were hired as cash couriers by APC leaders.
This was contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
The party said the funds are to be ferried into the country through the Seme or Idi-Iroko, or any other border posts, “anytime from now.”
However, the PDP dismissed the allegations as baseless.
Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Abdullahi Jalo said, “The APC has taken propaganda to a ridiculous level. We will not dignify them with a response because this allegation lacks substance.”
APC alleged that those who orchestrated the importation of the raw cash from a West African nation have also tipped off the security agents at the border posts to watch out for those who are bringing in a colossal amount in US dollars.
The statement read in part: “Their plan is that once the couriers – who have been coached on their assignment – are arrested by Nigerian security agents, they will point accusing fingers at some top APC leaders who supposedly commissioned them to bring in the money to be used for the forthcoming elections.
“The plotters of the evil plan will then order the arrest of the leaders, with a view to damaging their credibility and destabilizing them ahead of the elections.”
The APC said as many evil plots as are being hatched by desperadoes who are bent on setting the country ablase just to realise their naked ambition will be exposed, because Nigerians themselves, within and outside the government, have decided to be extra vigilant.
It also said, “Let’s be clear: Our leaders, who have been the targets of unprecedented mudslinging as well as physical and psychological threats will not be intimidated into abandoning their epic struggle to save our country from a rapacious administration.
“Therefore, let those who have been unrelenting in threatening them and also painting them black, using every means imaginable, desist, because their game is up. The people of Nigeria have repudiated their primitive tactics.”
APC said those who will, in their usual manner, rush to deny this plot must remember that despite their denials in the past, all the alarms raised by the party had either come to pass or had been checkmated by their exposure.
Mohammed recalled that the party had in recent raised the alarm over several plots by the ruling party in the recent past and most had come to pass.
“We raised the alarm over their opposition to the use of card readers and now all Nigerians can see. “We raised the alarm that the OPC will demonstrate against Jega in Lagos and it was accurate to the day. We will continue to expose the plotters of evil,” the party said.
