The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of planning to implicate some APC leaders in a large-scale money trafficking scam.
The APC said that the ruling party is planning to import large amounts of money in US dollars and then claim that the cash was brought in by leaders of the APC.
The accusations were contained in a statement released on Thursday, March 19 by APC National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed.
The statement reads:
“Their plan is that once the couriers – who have been coached on their assignment – are arrested by Nigerian security agents, they will point accusing fingers at some top APC leaders who supposedly commissioned them to bring in the money to be used for the forthcoming elections.”
“The plotters of the evil plan will then order the arrest of the leaders, with a view to damaging their credibility and destabilizing them ahead of the elections.”
“The APC said as many evil plots as are being hatched by desperadoes who are bent on setting the country ablaze just to realize their naked ambition will be exposed, because Nigerians themselves, within and outside the government, have decided to be extra vigilant.”
“Let’s be clear: Our leaders, who have been the targets of unprecedented mudslinging as well as physical and psychological threats will not be intimidated into abandoning their epic struggle to save our country from a rapacious administration.”
“Therefore, let those who have been unrelenting in threatening them and also painting them black, using every means imaginable, desist, because their game is up. The people of Nigeria have repudiated their primitive tactics.”
“We raised the alarm over their opposition to the use of card readers and now all Nigerians can see. “We raised the alarm that the OPC will demonstrate against Jega in Lagos and it was accurate to the day. We will continue to expose the plotters of evil.”
The PDP however attributed the accusations to mere propaganda on the part of the APC.
