The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation has raised the alarm over an alleged plot by the Peoples Democratic Party and the President Jonathan-led government, to scuttle the 2015 general elections.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Director, Media and Publicity of the campaign, Mallam Garba Shehu, in Abuja, on Thursday.

Shehu disclosed that the APC had it on good authority that the kernel of the plan was to use the subterfuge of the frivolous litigation by some people to get a court pronouncement to disqualify the APC candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

According to him, the PDP was seeking to build a case to the effect that Buhari lied under oath in saying that the military had his certificate, whereas the military had denied being in possession of the document.

Shehu revealed that the counter-arguments by the APCs candidates counsel would not matter because a particular Federal High judge had been prepared to do the hatchet job.

The APC noted that it was the PDPs calculation that this wicked pronouncement of disqualification of the APC candidate would precipitate spontaneous violent protests across the country.

Shehu said this scenario would then make President Goodluck Jonathan, the PDP candidate in the 2015 general election, to declare a six-month state of emergency across the land.

He alleged that the three-week long strike by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria was embarked upon on the prodding of the PDP-led Federal Government as a way to stymie any higher court from upturning the lower court pronouncement which ruled on President Jonathans eligibility to contest the February 14 election.
