[wysija_form id=”1″]March 12, 2015 – Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu has alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan in conjunction with the Federal Government has trained snipers which it hope to use to assassinate him.
A statement signed by Special Assistant to the APC Leader, Mr. Sunday Dare said the assassination plot is one of two options being employed by the presidency.
“This plan is consistent with the warning made by former President Obasanjo in his now famous 2014 letter to President Jonathan. Those within the PDP favouring this approach argue that when Chief Bola Ige, a powerful politician was murdered heavens did not fall even though the then President was a Yoruba man”, he said.
He said the PDP is also seeking to resuscitate the murder case of its former governorship candidate in Lagos, the late Engr. Funsho Williams and blame Tinubu for the killing.
“They are already coaching inmates and others. They are offering them the promise of early release and money if they will make statements implicating Tinubu in the Williams murder. The presidency intends to rush through this process with the hope of putting Tinubu out of circulation by trapping him in a contrived criminal process until the elections are over”, he said adding that Tinubu is not taking these revelations lightly knowing well the capacity of this government .
“For the party that boasts it will rule Nigeria for sixty years, it has become an unexpected season of political desperation. The PDP is worried that on March 28, they will discover that they have fallen 44 years short of their dynastic goal. By all accounts, this has caused them to consider very drastic plots and schemes.
“Nigerians are confronted with a ruling party willing to descend to the lowest in order to win elections. Perceived political enemies are being hunted. Trumped-up allegations are being manufactured daily from the government factory of lies to taint the leading figures in the All Progressives Party, APC”, Dare said in the statement.
