[size=14pt]Ekiti ACN warns PDP, Jonathan over campaign against Asiwaju[/size]
By Damisi Ojo

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Ekiti State yesterday criticised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and President Goodluck Jonathan for standing against the rule of law, justice and democratic ethos that could move the nation forward.

The party particularly noted that Nigerians should not be fooled by the PDP’s orchestrated media hype about Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s personal account.

Speaking with The Nation in Ado- Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, ACN state Chairman Chief Jide Awe said: “Whoever alleges must stand in the case. Up till now, Nigerians have not been told when these purported accounts were opened or where and how much money was contained therein.”

He said another burdensome question is why it is now that Tinubu’s account should be an issue when the matter had been prosecuted by a competent panel some times ago.

Awe said: “Our belief is that I hope we are not right by saying this issue is closely related to Justice Ayo Salami’s case.

“We believe it is an attempt to malign Tinubu’s character and possibly shut him out of circulation by the powers-that-be. This will thereafter pave the way for all sorts of nefarious activities.”

The ACN chairman said the stab on the back of the Judiciary by the National Judicial Commission (NJC) and President Jonathan was still oozing fresh blood.

He said: “We believe he (the President) should heal the wounds rather than add to  the injuries of the nation’s judicial system.”

Awe flayed the ruling PDP administration for its inability to tackle insecurity in the nation, saying: “We, the leaders of ACN in Ekiti State, will soon meet with President Jonathan to convince us and the nation that he is capable of leading this country. We need a confirmation.

“With persistent Boko Haram bombings and wanton destruction of lives and property in Jos, these are pointers to the fact that all is not well in the nation.”

Comedy!

“We believe it is an attempt to malign Tinubu’s character and possibly shut him out of circulation by the powers-that-be. This will thereafter pave the way for all sorts of nefarious activities.”

The only "nefarious activities" will probably be to jail asiwaju.
