PDP Accuses APC Over Al Qaeda And Pirate Radio by Myself2(m): 9:42pm On Mar 22, 2015
Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organaisation (PDPPCO), Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has insisted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) should answer the question posed to them on whether their presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, can guarantee that not one dollar of Al-Qaeda, ISIS or ISIL (terrorist groups) money has been used to support his presidential campaign.

Fani-Kayode, in a response to the court threat by the spokesperson of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO), Malam Garba Shehu, on the question, said it was a pity that supposed educated persons could not make a distinction between a question and an assertion.

Meanwhile, APC dismissed the PDPPCO allegation that the APC floated a pirate radio, saying it was designed to frame up the opposition party’s leaders for arrest.

“It is a pity that these people are not well educated. They cannot even make a distinction between a question and an assertion. Rather than asking me to retract or withdraw the question, they should just answer it and stop misbehaving”, Fani-Kayode said in a statement, yesterday. “If they are waiting for a retraction to our questions, they will wait forever. Hell will freeze over before we retract any question that we have put. We will not retract any question rather we will continue to put more uncomfortable questions to them until they provide answers by saying yes or no.

“We have made no assertion, we have simply asked a set of legitimate, responsible, sensitive and important questions, and we have every right to do so.” In another statement, yesterday, the PDPPCO told off wife of the APC presidential candidate, Aisha Buhari, describing her advice to the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, that she (First Lady) would not be sent to jail if her husband, General Muhammadu Buhari wins, as unneeded.

Fani-Kayode, in response to Aisha Buhari’s attack on the First Lady in Benin, said the entire PDP presidential campaign did not appreciate her counsel because the First Lady has not committed any offence.

According to Fani-Kayode, “We take note of what Hajia Aisha Buhari has said. But we don’t appreciate her counsel and neither do we need any advice from her because the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has not done anything wrong.

“What we can tell her for now is that she should keep enjoying the limelight that she is presently enjoying which is alien to her. This is because within a few days, post March 28 presidential election, she will go back to where she came from and, once again, she will be confined to the kitchen and will be made to do some sort of things that Buhari believes women should do.”

Yesterday, the APC denied ownership of any radio station, as it accused the Federal Government of plotting to arrest its national leaders by framing them up through such a linkage.

Party spokesman, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, at a press conference in Lagos, called on the international community to take note of what he claimed was the desperation of the Jonathan administration to win election by putting its national leaders out of circulation in the crucial week of the election. Mohammed, nevertheless gave kudos to APC informers within the PDP whom he said had put national interest above financial and other partisan interests.

Defending his assertion, Mohammed pointed at other allegations made by the party which he said either came to pass or were derailed by the revelations. He cited the allegation of the postponement of the election, the reopening of investigations of a link between a party chieftain and the murder of Chief Funsho Williams and the rejection of the card reader by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP among others.

Giving notice of the new plan, he said:

“Without mincing words, we are aware that a RED ALERT has been sent to the EFCC to arrest the National Leader of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on trumped-up charges anytime from now.

“In addition, anyone who is suspected of being a financier of the APC is to be arrested, all in efforts to decapitate the main opposition party which is undoubtedly cruising to victory in the forthcoming elections.

“And as part of the offensive against the APC in the days ahead, there is a plan to freeze the accounts of companies, individuals and organisations believed to be financing the party, with the ultimate objective of crippling the party so it won’t be able to sustain its activities, like paying its agents on Election Day and other logistics.”
