Lai Mohammed

The All Progressives Congress has said it has uncovered another plot being hatched against the leadership of the party by sympathisers of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party.

According to the APC, the fresh plot was to import a huge amount of money in US dollars through some people who would then claim that they were hired as cash couriers by the APC leaders.

This allegation was contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

The party said the implicating dollars would be ferried into the country through the Seme or Idi-Iroko, or any other border posts, anytime from now.

However, the PDP dismissed the allegations as baseless.

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Alhaji Abdullahi Jalo, said, The APC has taken propaganda to a ridiculous level. We will not dignify them with a response because this allegation lacks substance.

Lai Mohammeds statement read in part: Their plan is that once the couriers who have been coached on their assignment are arrested by the Nigerian security agents, they will point accusing fingers at some top APC leaders who supposedly commissioned them to bring in the money to be used for the forthcoming elections.

The plotters of the evil plan will then order the arrest of the leaders, with a view to damaging their credibility and destabilising them ahead of the elections.

According to the APC, as many evil plots as were being hatched by desperadoes that were bent on setting the country ablaze just to realise their ambition would be exposed because Nigerians themselves, within and outside the government, had decided to be extra- vigilant.

Mr. Taiwo Olatunbosun

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State said it has printed and distributed 250,000 copies of the audio and video recordings revealing the details of how the June 21, 2014 governorship election was allegedly rigged in favour of Governor Ayodele Fayose.

A statement by the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Taiwo Olatubosun, said the recording revealed a grand conspiracy coordinated by some officers of the Nigerian Army.

He said the party took the step to let the world know the truth about Ekiti election miracle where a governor with unrivaled sterling performance failed to win a single local government out of the 16 local government areas of the state, including his own.

He said it was giving victory to a man, who two years earlier, had lost a senatorial election in the state.

The statement read, Details of corrupt practices by soldiers, as contained in the tape, lent credence to the inclusion of the military as a defendant at the Ekiti State Election Petitions Tribunal, challenging the return of Fayose as the winner of the election.

In the tape, secretly recorded by Army Captain Sagir Koli, voices of participants in the election fraud were heard talking about operational details and giving instructions on how to help Fayose to win the election. Koli went on exile after releasing the tape.

Another group, a non-governmental organisation, had two weeks ago produced 200,000 copies and distributed them around the world with copies sent to the United Nations, African Union and ECOWAS secretariats.

Nigerians and indeed decent people of the world will hear of how a Brigadier-General in the Nigerian Army was thoroughly disgraced by brigands and lawless individuals in the PDP, who should ordinarily quiver when an army corporal gives orders.

Nigerians will hear a Brigadier-General talking of how he set up Strike Forces to be unleashed on APC leaders and supporters in cowing them down to submission in order to ensure victory for Fayose.

Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd)

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), says he will ensure the safety of Nigerian girls and women if he is elected as the next president of the country.

Buhari added that women and girls had become endangered species in the wake of the nations insecurity.

The APC presidential candidate spoke at Town Hall Meeting with Professional Women in Lagos on Thursday.

He said, My administration will have zero tolerance for violence against women and girls. We will provide women with greater legal protection from all forms of violence and sexual harassment.

Buhari, who was flanked by a national leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu; Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola; his Rivers State counterpart, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi; and a former governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Segun Oni, among others, observed that 20 years after the Beijing women conference, the decisions reached had not been implemented in Nigeria.

He said, There is still discrimination against women in public institutions and in the private sphere.

Women still lack the same freedom as men, particularly in the fields of education, economic empowerment and political participation.

Nigeria still has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, and there are now alarming rates of violence against women and girls. Due to the activities of agents of Boko Haram, we have seen hundreds of our daughters kidnapped, killed and displaced.

I am on a mission to restore Nigerias fading glory and reposition our great nation on the path to greatness. I am aware that this will not be possible without addressing the needs and concerns of those who constitute half of the population of the country the women.

It is a pity and tragedy of our history that a man who is supposed to be in chains and drilled in frog jump by a Nigerian Army recruit for his crime is the one assuring a serving Brigadier-General in the Nigerian Army of promotion if he could help PDP in the dishonourable enterprise of poll fraud in favour of a man with several alleged criminal cases in courts. Nigerians will hear Fayose and other co-conspirators talking and boasting that the top echelons of the Nigerian Army and their Commander-In-Chief were the chief executioners of Ekiti poll fraud. The world will hear Fayose talking about how he collected soft copies of INECs sensitive election materials and got them printed to give him victory.

Ekiti APC distributes 250,000 copies of rigging tape

Supporters of All Progressives Congress from the 23 local governments in Rivers State on Thursday urged the police command to be fair to all political parties.

Mr Orji Ngofa, Caretaker Committee Chairman of Eleme Local Government, made the call in Port Harcourt when members of the party staged a peaceful protest to the headquarter of the state police command.

He appealed to the state police commissioner, Mr Dan Bature, to give equal treatment to all political parties.

Ngofa, who applauded the police for its role in maintaining peace and order, noted that many APC members were being haunted by the police.

He explained that it was very unfair for the police to arrest APC supporters without concrete reasons, adding that it was time to address the problem.

The chairman called for a level playing ground where all political parties would enjoy equal police protection for free, fair and credible elections.

Responding, the commissioner said the police would continue to be neutral in the discharge of its duties.

Bature assured the protesters of the police readiness to reduce crime and other offences to the barest minimum in the state.

He said the police would not relent in charting the course of justice irrespective of whose ox was gored.

Whether PDP, APC, APGA or any other political party, that is found wanting, must be made to face the wrath of the law, Bature said.
