The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Jonathan administration of plotting to hinder the smooth handover of power to the incoming administration to be led by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) on May 29.
Reacting to Jonathan’s charge that Buhari was running a parallel government, the party said it is becoming apparent that the Jonathan administration would not fully cooperate with the incoming government, despite its public posturing in that regard.
APC described as illogical and strange the claim by Jonathan that the president-elect was trying to set up a parallel government simply because he had set up his own transition committee and given it terms of reference.
In a statement on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party also described the president’s allegation as an “act of hostility, patently misplaced aggression and unnecessary vituperation against the incoming Buhari administration” ostensibly because of the terms of reference of the Buhari transition committee but in reality part of an orchestrated plot to sabotage the transition.
It rejected the continued blackmail by the Jonathan administration as a result of the president’s concession of defeat, wondering whether the concession, gracious as it was, has now become a shield for all wrong doings.
“We are sick and tired of being blackmailed by the Jonathanians. Buhari won the 28 March presidential election fair and square, having satisfied both constitutional and other statutory requirements. We have no apology for our victory, and the concession of defeat – while it may have increased the political stock of President Jonathan – has by no means diminished the historic and emphatic victory of Buhari and APC,” the party said.
