A former Deputy National
Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Timi Frank has
alleged of plot to assassinate the Presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the Senate President, Bukola
Saraki, at a campaign ground in one of the Northern states.
Frank claimed that the plot by
the “current administration to arrange some hoodlums to disrupt one of the PDP
presidential rallies at a particular Northern state while a mobile police
officer will directly shoot at either the campaign DG (Saraki) or Alhaji Atiku,
which will later be blamed on armed bandits.”
This was as Frank warned that the
All Progressives Congress, APC-led government would be held responsible if
anything happens to the duo of Atiku, Saraki or any of the PDP leaders at any
political rally.
He issued the warning as he
petitioned the international community urging them to call President Muhammadu
Buhari to order.
In a statement he forwarded, the former APC spokesperson said the letter was addressed to the
United Nations, the African Union, the American government, the governments of
the United Kingdom and Canada among others.
He said the “plot was initially
arranged to take place in Kogi State rally on Monday but the PDP leaders in the
state got wind of the evil plan and quickly raised the alarm.”
“Recall that in a statement
signed by the Head, Media and Publicity, of the Campaign Council, Usman Austin
Okai, PDP had also raised similar alarm.
“The only way the present
administration hopes to stop Atiku Abubakar from becoming the next President is
to assassinate him as being allegedly planned by the Buhari’s administration –
“in desperation to score a new low by going against the towering popularity of
the PDP’s candidate.”
He recalled how “Abubakar’s wife
and children were threatened through a text message last year (2018) but
despite official letter written to notify President Buhari personally, nothing
was done to unravel the perpetrators up till now.
“So, what we are saying is that
through the help of God and intelligence we are getting to know some of the
evil plans of the APC’s administration to stop the will of God for Nigeria.
Politics should not be a do-or-die affair the way APC is playing it. Although
the growing acceptability of Atiku Abubakar is threatening but the APC and the
Buhari presidency should learn to play the game by the rule.
“Any attempt to cause havoc,
using hoodlums or security agents will be resisted by Nigerians. We are raising
this alarm because we don’t want to take anything for granted. We have seen
political assassinations in the past and the country has also witnessed the
recent assassination of a former Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, allegedly
carried out by this administration for political reasons,” Frank stated.
