The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of ordering Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrest its National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on falsified charges in order to destabilise the party before the election.
At a press conference in Lagos on Saturday, the National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, alleged that the ruling party was trying to gain undue advantage by arresting key opposition figures and freezing the accounts of those believed to be the financiers of the party.
“Without mincing words, we are aware that a red alert has been sent to the EFCC to arrest the National Leader of our party, the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on trumped-up charges anytime from now,” Mohammed said
“In addition, anyone who is suspected of being a financier of the APC is to be arrested, all in efforts to decapitate the main opposition party which is undoubtedly cruising to victory in the forthcoming elections,” he added.
“As part of the offensive against the APC in the days ahead, there is a plan to freeze the accounts of companies, individuals and organizations believed to be financing the party, with the ultimate objective of crippling the party so it won’t be able to sustain its activities, like paying its agents on Election Day and other logistics,” the APC secretary said.
