The opposition party All Progresives Congress (APC) has alleged they are being harassed
by the presidency. In a new statement by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,they claim the phones of Amaechi,Tinubu
and Timipre Sylva have been hacked.. The statement reads
”As the elections approach, we know the harassment and intimidation will
be stepped up. We know our leaders, including the National Chairman
Chief John Oyegun, National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Gov.
Rotimi Amaechi, former Gov. Timipre Sylva, Senator Bukola Saraki and
National Publicity Secretary Alhaji Lai Mohammed, are under surveillance
and their phones being hacked.
”We are aware that several of them, especially the National Publicity
Secretary, have been marked down for arrest in the days to come. We know
there are evil plots to frame some of them on trumped-up charges. We
know our lives are in danger. But these and more will not deter us from
continuing to act in the national interest or from seeking to effect
change through the ballot box.
”Yes, we are alerting Nigerians that if anything happens to us they
should know where it is coming from, but for us there is no going back
because we are resolute,”
”We are glad that instead of weakening the resolve and enthusiasm of
Nigerians, the Presidency-orchestated postponement has further
galvanized them to be more determined not only to vote but also to
defend their votes.
”Nigerians must demand and insist that the elections be held as
rescheduled, that there will be no interim government or tenure
elongation. Nigerians have the power to forge change with their voter’s
cards and no one must deny them that right,”
