Presidency Wants To Ground Mycampaign , Backers , Says Buhari by abdulmumini60(f): 9:53am On Mar 01, 2015
The All Progressives Congress
Presidential Campaign Organisation
( APCPCO) yesterday alleged plan by
the Presidency to ground all aircraft
being used by the party’s presidential
candidate , General Muhammadu
Buhari , as part of a grand plot to
cripple his campaign .
Also being targeted for freezing by the
authorities , according to APCPCO are
the bank accounts of stalwarts of the
party.
The Director , Media and Publicity of
the campaign team , Mallam Garba
Shehu , said in a statement that the
move to destabilise Buhari might not
be unconnected with the massive
global attention on the APC after
Buhari ’ s sterling performance at
Chatham House, London last
Thursday .
Shehu described the Presidency ’s alleged
plot as desperate , anathema , criminal
and inimical to the nation’s nascent
democracy and civilised human
behaviour .
But he vowed that any such move “will
be foiled by the citizens who have taken
over the movement of change as
symbolised by General Muhammadu
Buhari . ”
He added that the authorities plan to
“ use the Aviation Ministry and the
secret arm of the Security Service to
hound and clampdown on members of
the APC, by prospecting obnoxious
means that would ground private jets
belonging to senior members of our
party, in order to halt and slow down
Buhari ’ s world -acclaimed phenomenal
popularity as President -in- waiting.
Shehu added , “There is also a plot to
block or freeze the bank accounts of
APC chieftains like Senator Bola
Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Rotimi
Amaechi ( Director General of APC
Presidential Campaign Organisation),
and other prominent leaders believed to
be funding the General ’s campaign ; and
availing him their aircraft for
electioneering purposes . ”
Shehu recalled that private jets
conveying APC Governors including
Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State and
Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State , had
in the past being either prevented from
taking -off or landing during crucial
political occasions, particularly during
the run up to the last governorship
election in Ekiti State .
The organisation regretted what it
called PDP ’s descent into the abyss in
its desperate bid to retain power ,
stressing that the party has become so
delusional that it now fabricates
outright lies to blackmail and denigrate
the APC and its presidential candidate
and his running mate Prof Yemi
Osinbajo , all in an attempt to divert
attention from the mess it has created
in every facet of lives in the country .
He cited how the Attorney General of
the Federation ( AGF ), an appointee of
the President , used his office to do a
counter- affidavit and supporting written
address to give tacit approval to a
nocturnal group’ s desire to truncate the
use of card reader in the coming
elections .
He said: “an online news blog , Sahara
reporters , made copious public display
of the two documents ; the AGF , in
doing a volte face , denied giving
authorization to the staff members of his
Office in that ignoble service to the
Nigerian state.
“ A patriotic Nigerian soldier, Captain
Sagir Koli , had done a painstaking and
elaborate audio recording of the meeting
in which the Presidential order for the
rigging of the 22 nd June, 2014 Ekiti
governorship election in favour of the
Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) was
handed down.
“ Among the people present at the
meeting were : Mr . Ayo Fayose, the
greatest beneficiary of the nefarious
rigging plot , Mr. Musiliu Obanikoro
as the Minister of state for Defence ,
Brigadier -General Aliyu Momoh , the
commander of 32 nd Artillery Brigade ,
Alhaji Jelili Adesiyan, Minister for
Police Affairs , Otunba Iyiola Omisore ,
PDP governorship candidate for Osun
State .
“ Meanwhile , Ayo Fayose, Jelili
Adesiyan and Musiliu Obanikoro had
variously made statements in attesting
to the veracity of the nocturnal meeting ;
President Goodluck Jonathan , pressured
to probe the incident, peremptorily
foreclosed such investigative check when
he said ‘ If someone comes up with a
spurious allegation that has no
substance and the person disappears, of
course , what do you want me to do ?’
“ Obviously, this President is not
mindful of his oath of allegiance to the
Federal Republic of Nigeria! The
evidence of audio recording with the
available technology can be used to
ascertain the truth about the plot ,
regardless the presence or absence of
the source of it . Apparently , the
President , caught in the act of ordering
an electoral heist , is unwilling to
initiate a probe that will indict and
incriminate him .
“ The Director of Communication for the
PDP Presidential Campaign , Chief Femi
Fani -Kayode , said with uncanny
impudence that the APC Vice
Presidential candidate , Professor Yemi
Osinbajo , was made to agree to an
oath to resign six months after and
allow Senator Bola Tinubu , in the event
that APC wins the Presidential election.
“ Quite evidently, this piece of bunkum
was meant to vitiate the integrity of our
respected Vice Presidential candidate by
the band of dishonourable politicians in
the PDP . We state , without any iota of
equivocation , that this is untrue and
unfounded .
“ We have shown these examples of the
PDP -led Presidency’s conduct in
desperately laying hold at straw despite
the rejection of the Nigerian people ,
ahead of the general elections . The
resort to deliberate falsehood and
unfounded allegations represent the
PDP -led Presidency’s unmistakable
beclouding of the campaign issues of the
forthcoming election. ”

All aircrafts belonging to the bukohari leader should be barred from flying until our war with boko haram ends.

BUHARI SHOULD BE STOPPED BY ALL MEANS FROM AIRLIFTING FOOD AND WEAPONS TO HIS BOYS IN SAMBISA.

This is the proof of what we have been saying. So, boko haram are the backers of Buhari. No wonder, since the recent onslaught, APC camp has been jittery and in disarray. God don catch them. I Implore Gej to finish them off for the betterment of this nation.

GEJ and his handlers are too ashamed to run on his record of the past 4 years coz Nigerians are no longer buying their false propaganda as their lives aren't being transformed as promised. The economy is in shambles, bombings every other day, electricity supply is at an all-time low.

It's little wonder that his handlers have now resorted personal attacks on opposition figures. Desperate moves of a hopeless administration.
