APC Raises Alarm Over Plot By Presidency To Use 4 SSS Officers To Rig Polls by KORLAR(m): 8:49am On Mar 10, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised the
alarm over plans by one of the security agencies,
apparently acting at the behest of the Jonathan
Administration, to harass and intimidate supposed
sponsors of the party, as part of ongoing efforts to
cripple its activities in the run up to the March 28th
polls.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the
party however said the agency can only target
phantom financiers, since the APC is, in reality,
being financed by Nigerians, not some money
bags.
”We made it clear early on that our party, which
has now become a people-driven movement, is
being bankrolled by ordinary Nigerians, who have
contributed generously to the party through the
platforms that we published in the newspapers for
all to see.
”Though the federal government has used some
national institutions to stifle our party’s fund-
raising efforts, Nigerians have utilized the available
platforms to make their donations. It is therefore a
futile exercise for anyone to harass some innocent
people for supposedly financing the APC,” it said.
The APC said security agencies should only serve
national, rather than partisan, interests, because
while governments will always come and go,
Nigeria as a country will remain.
”The information at our disposal about the role of
the security agencies in the forthcoming elections
is very disturbing, despite the public opprobrium
that has greeted the role played by the military in
rigging the 2014 Ekiti governorship election.
”For example, there is a plan for at least 500 security agents to apply to work as ad hoc INEC staff so they can rig for the PDP, while military and police uniforms are being sewn in a PDP-controlled state in the South- west, with a view to making them available for PDP thugs to wear on election day, so they can harass and intimidate the opposition.
”There is also the disturbing case of four senior
officers of the State Security Service (SSS) who are
being retained for some ignoble role during the
general elections, even though they are already
due for retirement. It is interesting that these
officers, including three at the states and one at
the headquarters of the SSS, are all from the South-
East and the South-South, which the Jonathan-led
administration considers its stronghold.
”Equally disturbing is the fact that a section of the
security services has been making sensitive
information available to certain PDP members,
including a loose-lipped state Governor, just to get
at the opposition. This is sad because Nigeria is
bigger than any political party,” the party said.
It therefore appealed to the security agencies to be
non-partisan, professional and patriotic in carrying
out their duties before, during and after the general
elections.
”Put Nigeria first, don’t favour the PDP, don’t favour
the APC, don’t favour any party,” the APC told the
security agencies.

APC bursting PDP plans since 1800 BC.

Once again, kudos to you guys.

Revealing all their plans is an effective way of checkmating them.

If they had given details, yes. All PDP claims have always been short of verifiable details.
