The All Progressives Congress on Thursday dismissed claims by the Peoples Democratic Party that the APC is behind the attempt on the life of the deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu as hallucination.
The APC said this in reaction to a statement credited to the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Olisa Metuh, that the governing party was behind the attempt to attack the Deputy Senate President.
Metuh had alleged among other things, that the alleged attack on Ekweremadu is part of a larger plot to eliminate key opposition leaders.
In his reaction to the allegation, the deputy national publicity secretary of the APC, Mr. Timi Frank accused the opposition party of cheap blackmail.
According to him, it is sad and unfortunate that the PDP was yet to purge itself of its manipulative strategies which eventually led to its down fall in the 2015 elections.
Frank said this in a statement he signed in Abuja. He explained that the PDP’s attempt at propaganda has failed because Nigerians now know better.
He asked the opposition party to come clean over the series of high profile killings which characterized its 16 year rule.
He said, “The past 16 years of PDP’s rule saw a honorable minister, Chief Bola Ige, politicians like Harry Marshall and Funso Williams assassinated with no attempt to unravel the mysteries that surrounded their deaths.
“It would therefore, be unfortunate for the PDP to elevate this act it had perfected over the years, to a propaganda tool.
“Nigerians all over the world know that President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC are more concerned with cleaning the mess the PDP-led government bequeathed to the nation more than anything else.”
Frank urged Nigerians to disregard the opposition’s latest attempt to deceive.
He said it was curious that the alleged assassination attempt on the nation’s number three citizen will go without any security report.
The governing party argued that the security situation left behind by the then ruling PDP left the governing party with no choice but to device creative ways of dealing with it. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

If Timi Frank is Sincere let him Tell Nigerians Wy Tinubu`s Wife had de Efrontery to sit on Ike`s seat. just as was a plot on His Life.
ReplyDeleteBola Ige, Harry Marshal, and Funso Williams were murderd during Obasanjo's administration and for Buhari not wanting to probe Obasanjo simply tells that our president is not the saint he claims to be.
ReplyDeleteNo serious minded Nigerian would disregard PDP's alert on this matter. APC had better watch it. GEJ's regime never saw any opponent eliminated. There was less political tension in the country during his time. APC is trying to re-ignite the inglorious days of assassination of political opponents by military leaders and leaders with military background. It better not be, if this 'handle with care' fragile commodity called Nigeria is to continue as one country.
ReplyDeleteNo mind those bunch of lies APC
ReplyDeleteOk because their was series of killings during P.D.Ps 16years of ruling and now you aclaim holy A.p.c have come for revenge.
ReplyDeleteWhen alarm of this nature is raised, commentators should be cautious of their contribution. Rather than castigating any party for that matter, it is instructive and mature to await report of investigation to unravel those behind the attempt on Chief Ekeweremadu's life.
ReplyDeleteHahahaaa....Mr timi frank,dnt make us laugh..all dis names u mentioned were killed under d watch of obj,and we all knw where obj belongs now...so please shut d hell up...
