The All Progressives Congress has strongly
condemned Saturday’s invasion of its offices
in Lagos State by security agents, calling it
perhaps the worst political scandal in
Nigeria’s history.
In a statement issued in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun
State on Saturday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party
said the invasion can only be likened to the
Watergate Scandal that led to the
resignation of US President Richard Nixon in
1974, as a result of the June 17, 1972 break-
in at the Democratic National Committee
headquarters at the Watergate office
complex in Washington, D.C., and the
attempted cover-up of its involvement by
the Republican Nixon Administration.
It therefore called for an independent inquiry
to fish out those who ordered the needless
and unprovoked attack on the offices of the
APC and ensure that they face very serious
consequences, irrespective of their status
The party said: “Saturday’s attack is another
one in the string of attacks and illegal
actions of the PDP-led administration. The
attack was unwarranted and unjustifiable. To
attack one of the offices of the opposition
party, APC, where legitimate operations of
the party were being undertaken is an act of
fascism and totalitarianism. To the point of
brigandage, the invasion of the APC centre
is an assault on the APC and its entire
membership across the country. It must not
go unpunished.”
The party said though it had been tipped off
about an impending attack on the ‘secret
warehouse’ of our leader Bola Ahmed
Tinubu, “we dismissed such plan because
there was no ‘secret warehouse’ anywhere
and also because we never imagined that
the government will attack the offices of an
opposition party in a constitutional
democracy. Obviously we under-estimated
the desperation of the (President Goodluck)
Jonathan Administration and its worsening
proclivity to impunity.”
Giving details of the invasion, the APC said
in the early hours of Saturdaymorning, a
combined team of men of the DSS and OP-
MESA stormed the Bola Ajibola Data centre
belonging to the APC in Oleja area of Lagos
and arrested 25 APC data agents and three
security guards.
The party added: “In what was a gestapo-
like operation, the APC membership data
centre located at Number 10, Bola Ajibola
street , off Allen Avenue in Ikeja, came under
siege between the hours of 5:30 am and 7:30
am on Saturday. An operation of terror and
brigandage was unleashed on a legitimate
operation of a leading national party. They
came without a search warrant for the
premises. Over 50 security operatives drafted
from Abuja operations blocked the two major
street entrances to the APC data entry
centre, pulled down the gates and spent
over 2 hours ransacking and vandalizing the
centre.
“More than a dozen computers were
destroyed. The server was also vandalized
along with other equipments in the building.
Just like the Watergate scandal in the USA,
the state-sponsored security operatives
apparently acting at the behest of the ruling
PDP government turned the office upside
down, and pulled out and vandalized
everything in sight.
“If the PDP-led government and the security
agents had done due diligence and acted
professionally, they would have known that
the APC data centre is a legitimate operation
and the staff are Nigerian youths who were
left jobless by the Jonathan government.
Apart from the Lagos centre, the operation is
decentralized and similar centres are
functional in about six different locations
around the country.
“They chose to believe the lie that it was a
warehouse belonging to one of the national
leaders of the party where dangerous
weapons were being kept, when in fact it is
a centre for entering the data provided by
the millions of Nigerians who registered as
members of the party during its membership
registration exercise.”
The party described the invasion as another
act of impunity, which it said is now a
trademark of the Jonathan-led presidency
and being edged on by the hawks in the
PDP.
The APC called the invasion of its offices an
attempt to suppress the opposition, get
details of its membership with the intention
of using it to rig the 2015 elections and also
to destroy the spirit of democracy.
It said: “When in Oct. 6th, 2013 we issued a
statement alerting Nigerians that the
Jonathan Administration was using Rivers
State as a testing ground for creeping
fascism ahead of the 2015 elections, some
said we were raising a false alarm.

Intimidation has started

We'll see

Nothing concerns me#Drinking pepsi at emirate stadium

Desperation from the President.

I'm beginning to think Jonathan is a patsy planted by the CIA to see to the fulfilment of their prophesy/prediction about the future of this country as regards 2015.

These acts are too vile to be spontaneous.

Security agents came with search warrant issued by a judge and these politicians are still trying to spin it against Jonathan.

The police and security agents should be supported in doing their jobs. They must have a reason for arresting 25 people. What legitimate business will 25 people be doing be 5 am on a Saturday morning?

Hope they were not printing fake voter's card
