Count Me Out Of Plot Against APC – Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan today denied the allegation that he is involved in a clandestine move to deny the merger of several opposition political parties.

Speaking in Abuja through the Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, Mr. Jonathan said it was not true that he had given a directive to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to register the new party.

The response follows a story in the LEADERSHIP newspaper edition of today which claimed that Mr. Jonathan directed that the planned merger of some political parties should be frustrated and that some state governors have been put on 24 hour surveillance in that regard.

The presidential spokesman described the claim as false and mischievous, and that it runs against common sense in view of the presidents credentials as a “democrat” who has refused to interfere in the activities of other political parties and INEC.

While noting that the publication attributed its story to "presidential villa insiders", Okupe asserted that the President does not give unlawful directives and has nothing to fear about the proposed merger that will necessitate him planning anything against the business interest of opposition figures as claimed by the newspaper.

Okupe also frowned at the claim that the president was planning to raise the pump price of petroleum products when the same president has provided enough funds for fuel subsidy in the 2013 budget and recently stated unequivocally that he has no plans to increase fuel price or remove fuel subsidy.

He admonished journalists to avoid playing into the hands of “mischievous politicians” whose desire is to blackmail the president and score cheap political points at the expense of stability of the country.

At a press conference in Lagos on March 19, President Goodluck Jonathan indicated his readiness to raise gas prices again, but would first “discuss” with the public the easiest way to do so.

“We cannot continue to waste resources meant for a greater number of Nigerians to subsidize the affluent middle class, who are the main beneficiaries,” he said on that occasion.

In response, “OccupyNigeria” activists said they were ready to respond whenever Jonathan made such a move.

So far, Mr. Jonathan has failed to implement several reports dealing with corruption in the oil sector, and has maintained in office Petroleum Minister Diezani Allison-Madueke and other officials who have been repeatedly accused of corruption, self-enrichment and manipulation.

No sane man would plot against an opposition party, election is won by the number of votes gotten during voting not number of snitchs made at an opponent. GEJ is too wise and I bet he hadn't done such dirty act.

You dislike the man, so what ever he says is wrong then. Even if he says, there is God, I know you must disagree. I always advise people to get minimal education in the art of thinking and the science of philosophy. Now you have successful disgraced yourself in the midst of sleepless mosquitoes, and when there is a storm in the teacup, you become the only boat that can fly. Glory not in thy folly, but ask the good lord of infinite wisdom to grant you an atom of intelligence, your case is not yet irredeemable. So Mote It Be!!

What's politics without opposition? APC is a non-governmental fourth arm of government. ;Dwhat's politics without opposition? APC is a non-governmental fourth arm of government.
