2015: Govt crackdown on
opposition leaders likely
Posted

‘Buhari, Tinubu, ex-security chief
are main targets’
A massive crackdown on opposition
figures ahead of the 2015 general
elections is on the way, The Nation learnt
yesterday.
The aim is to prevent the merger talks by
opposition parties from being successful
and constituting a problem for the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In the coming wave of arrests, even
members of the PDP whose political
leaning is in doubt will not be spared,
according to sources, who pleaded not to
be named because of ‘the sensitivity of
the matter”.
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN)
yesterday raised the alarm about
“desperate measures being planned by
the PDP-led Federal Government to
discredit and silence key opposition
leaders involved in the ongoing plans to
form a formidable platform to confront
the PDP in 2015”.
A former security chief is believed to be
one of those being targeted. He is to be
hurled before a court and charged with
contract fraud, among others, according
to sources who pleaded not to be named.
In a statement by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the
ACN said the paranoia over the merger
plans has driven the government “to
resort to imprudent and crude tactics
aimed at tarnishing the image of key
opposition leaders, especially the ACN
National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu
and his CPC counterpart, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, as well as their
close political associates.”

PDP doesn't want a vibrant opposition. They want to keep Nigerians enslaved. Too bad some fools will still vote for these killers in 2015

Jaidey-one:

Surely, some gullible Nigerian men & women will still vote for them.
Have you not wondered what confidence the S.A to the president was speaking some days back about GEJ winning if he decides to contest? Now we see where their confidence is coming from!!!

Not surprising this news is coming from The Nation Newspaper, the ACN propaganda machine. Always good at whipping up sentiments to gain public sympathy.

2015 election is few years away, yet an unnamed source is talking about a likely clampdown on opposition leaders by PDP over a merger that is yet to see the light...

Talk of figments of imagination, and you are not far from the truth.

what kind of stup!d story is this? Anyway, coming from the imaginations of the Nation newspaper; I'm not surprised.

God bless you!


Its only those that are not in Nigeria that believe these ACN goons (I was part of them). Tinubu has literally sold Lagos state to the highest bidder and he is scared of losing 2015. Thief!!!!

ACN is beginning to loose it. That story is as empty as it is. Propaganda. I think they are beginning to be jittery.
