The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APCPCO) has alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are plotting “to clip the electoral wings of the APC” by grounding of aircraft and freezing of bank accounts of party stalwarts”.
“In as much as we understand politics to be a game of wits and guts, yet the desperate way and manner the PDP and its henchmen are going is anathema, criminal and inimical to our nascent democracy and civilised human behaviour,” Garba Shehu, director of media and publicity of APCPCO, said in a statement on Saturday.
“Hence, any attempt by anyone to cripple the APC and its presidential candidate will be foiled by the citizens who have taken over the movement of change as symbolised by Muhammadu Buhari.
“The hint we gather from sources is that the government, through its agents, is plotting to ground aircraft and freeze bank accounts of APC stakeholders. But history has shown that the forces of evil can never succeed against the zeal of men and women of virtue and good deeds,”

“Information at our disposal has uncovered the ruinous plan by the Jonathan administration to use the aviation ministry and secret arm of the Security Service to hound and clamp down members of the APC, by prospecting obnoxious means that would ground private jets belonging to senior members of our party, in order to halt and slow down Buhari’s world-acclaimed phenomenal popularity as president-in-waiting.
“There is also a plot to block or freeze the bank accounts of APC chieftains like Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Rotimi Amaechi (director-general of APC Presidential Campaign Organisation), and other prominent leaders believed to be funding the general’s campaign; and availing him their aircraft for electioneering purpose.”

APC! !”ONE WEEK, ONE LIE! “
APC is a disaster. Haba for Christ Sake, why dis party always creating panic in the polity. That is why GOD will never allow them to get power. their evil ways will continue troubling them. Jonathan who has allow tinubu, atiku, amaechi, etal all these years to enjoy their illgotten wealth, would he now when election is 4 weeks away bare his fang on them? Stupid Propagandist!
Did you speak to God or receive a note from Him that He won’t let the APC ascend power? Please, don’t invoke His name in vain.
APC IS SERIOUS A LIAR PARTY
PDP had fifteen years to convince Nigerians who came out in large numbers in 2011 to vote in Jonathan, to show him as a good choice of president, but alas they messed up the opportunity.
They should not now be desperately fighting for votes dirty.
only those that are political neophyte will buy the propagandas been peddle around by jonathan’s detractors. Beyond this capability to wreak havoc these men also resort to the use of well proven psychological methods of thought manipulation and mind control. Research has long revealed that the best way to control a man is to control what he thinks. Large crowds of humans are best controlled by this mind-control process than by physical methods
Then pdp and Jonathan must be controlling your gullible mind to scribble this emptiness.
U guys are funny. When. APC said Jonathan was gonna postpone the elections, u all shouted that APC was just deceiving nigerians. Just watch.u will see the true desperation of GEJ when it happens
There should no victimization in politics. Why is APC a threat? Look elsewhere for the real threat.
APC is a major headache to the PDP. The handwriting is clearly on the wall n they know this very much hence the need to buy time in order to perfect strategy. Heavens won’t allow them. Even the military is jittery over this that is why equipment suddenly sprang up from the galaxies to fight boko haram. Everyone must account for his or her stewardship Nigerians are tired of ineptitude and impunity.
It will be dumb and childish for GEJ to do any of those things. Of course, it won’t surprise me if he does. He has done it in the past.
APC HAS RAN OUT OF IDEAS .THEY ARE NOW LOOKING FOR WAYS AND MEANS TO FORMEMT UNREST USING ILLITERATE YOUTHS ,WHO THEY CAN EASILY DECEIVE.THEIR MAJOR CAMPAIGN ISSUE IS FIGHTING BOKO HARAM,GEJ IS GALLANTLY ADDRESSING DAT.THEY HAVE NOT TOLD US WAT THEY WILL DO DIFFERENLY FROM WAT PDP IS DOING.
What will be must surely be… Only God knows D face of 9ja.
It saddens me that our present crop of politicians are so myopic in thinking. What has freezing of account and grounding of aircraft to do with winning the votes of electorate. Are Tinubu and Amaechi planning to fly and buy votes? Na wa o
It has because they are the backbone of campaign.maybe you don’t know politics
Please how did Tinubu and Amaechi amass the wealth they are basking in currently.
We all know what pdp represents..adubious desperate good -for -nothing and nest of killers(wolesoyinks words)..what r they not capableof?just about anything..even if d allegation s not entirely true @least it will preempt dis bunch of desperadoes
Anything s possible with this bunch of desperadoes called pdp..haven’t they done worse things in recent times..d siege laid on Tinubu house by soldiers s a case in point..y play dirty now when u guys had 6 yrs to effectively convince Nigerians n oripple ur opposition..it s gameover 4 pdp
APC should drum up the catastrophic, woefully dismal economic performance of this administration, represented by the huge devaluation of the Naira. In the developed world, citizens would normally vote out a government that messed up their private lives the way PDP has done. Has anyone planning to buy a car or television bothered to find out the new prices? What of air tickets for oversea trips?
Given the enormous foreign exchange balances Obasanjo left for GEJ and the revenues from a high price of crude, Nigeria had no reason to devalue its currency and create a new class of poorer citizens if GEJ and his government did not squander our resources. See who is paying the price: Aliko Dangote lost $7.8bn due to the devaluation! Dont blame the fall in all prices. Nigeria, as a major oil producer for over 50 years should have nothing to do with poor economic policies such as devaluation.
Furthermore, can CBN publish the names of those who own the $19bn in their domiciliary accounts? What a contradiction – how do you ask forex earners to bring their earnings to the market, whereas, ordinary citizens are allowed to amass such dollars in their private accounts? Who is fooling who?
Can APC just do a proper economic appraisal of this Govt? They will not look too far.
If you ask for those names of domicilliary account holders the first 10 names will probably be shared 5 for PDP members and 5 for APC members. then you will realize that CHANGE has a new meaning.
Why is APC ranting? I thought Buhari said he was not banking on anyone to finance this election but that every Nigerian will put in 100 naira, Now the story has changed! Tinubu’s account and Amaechi (who continues to arrogantly think he can fool Nigerians by saying he has no money for election funding) are needed. Who is fooling who ?
In my opinion I think this APCguys are listening to some invincible forces.
I have one question to ask those who opposed the postponement of the election processes. All the continuous strides and achievement in the PVC distribution and training of INEC staff to use the card readers or verifiers, and even calm returning back to numerous communities in the NE has it not being worth the wait? APC please answer. Not less than 10 million people have picked up their cards since the postponement and yet someone will say it was not necessary. to disenfranchise over 10 million people is more than necessary.
APC APC, if Insurgency and security is no longer a selling point, why not pick up the Economic policies. For a political party that intends to rule this country from June (i.e. 7 months) this year, I would have expected that their economic team would take hold of this years budget as submitted to the NASS and tier it apart and tell Nigerians what it would do differently. Pick the budgets of previous four years and tell us where we went wrong! Pick the Economy sector by sector and lets us know which direction they need to take. Instead they go about saying loads of rubbish like clamping down private jets, freezing accounts, Dont sack Jega (who by the way had four years to prepare a commission the size of parastatal and failed as it is compared to Jonathan who had the same four years and though did not do wonders but would get a better pass than Jega in my opinion.)
Ley us get it straight APC is the party that wants to rest power from the PDP so they ought to do more. We know the direction of PDP, we know the Economic and political team of PDP, we know their manifesto (transformation continues) though shallow, I for one need to know more about APC other than Buhari (corrupt free) and Tinubu (Corrupt Major).
God Bless Nigeria
Maigaskiya Usman for president. You are an intelligent man. GOD bless you
There is nothing that could not b possible, its better to stay awake or sleep with one eye open than to allow the d armed robber, failure & despirado rulling government to caught one unaware. same rumour came up abt d rullung parting party tryng to remove jega bf Sen. Obanikoro came on air clamoring for d removal of jega, is this so called rumour not coming to b reality. It is so obvious & plain that the rulling party & it agent had failed the entired citizens of Nigeria. I dont know why some people will still come on air and speak in there favour. I had a dream last nte that the opposition party worn the upcoming presidential election (APC) with high margine. Nigerians will surely use it pvc to decides who is eligible to rull us. Long live Nigeria. Together we stand.
It’s unfortunate the jonathan is playing the same path as the biblical nebucanezzar. When ever a man decides to play god god arrives and explains the difference. For this voodoonised nigerians who are deaf and dumb over the voodoo guy now stealthy operating as achristian to desperately grasp power talik about supporting towards completing his 8 years have you forgot that he has actually has used 6 yrs out of yardua ticket had he been alive. Did any of you have to see corruption of our church alters or use of Money to engage people in loyalty covenants with the underworld to secure votes as the collect money? Did jonathan have to spend a kobo or struggle one minute to get to aso rock? Of course like king Saul when the grace departs you will have to go to the wizards of endor to find solutions. Jehovah says be still and know that I am god! And that’s what nigerians, buhari and osinbago will be doing. In 2011 who was buhari? Can’t u see the hand of God? A man who didn’t marry his wife in a christian church, has no christian baptismal certificate, was never a member of any fellowship or church is now acclaimed a christian. Jonathan has lost favor with the lord! By there works we shall know them. What is ateke toms religion? What is asari dokubos religion? What is tompolos religion? Think nigerians our country is being vodonised and thrones of marmon is replacing alters of christ. The church is under attack. Jonathan in his 16ys in the corridors of power has not build a one room church in bayalesa or any where in Nigerian soil. He wentto Israel and visits churches for votes and nothing more. He has abused the grace of he king and will be judged. Tinubu and co are lined up to face thier judgments latter but for now they are tools in the hands of a wise god to save nigeria and the church APC should relax. Thier judgement is will come after Jonas exit
hmmmmm ! A wise god! but the REAL GOD knows the truth. what has come of all the churches in the land that the president should now build churches? Na wa for this Christians o.
I have 8 churches on my street and listen to 8 different sermons and I am amazed how the land is not saved. *If my people who are called by my name…….*. . Not their leaders but *my people* As
christians we are to pray for our leaders. Amazingly we are very very very bad followers if we do not follow the WORD we can never follow any leader. Let every man examine himself first.
Ask yourself Have I done what is right as a follower of Christ and a follower of a leader called Jonathan ? Have I at anytime prayed for our leaders?
My friends a critical look and study of the type of APC led government In Lagos state is enough to tell you the type of government that will be take charge of the economy should APC wins the presidential election
Please think will before casting your votes.
Increasing the Tuition fees in LASU and later reducing it towards elections is a red flag to watch out for
Banning of okada from certain roads in Lagos and later relaxing its implementation towards elections period is another red flag and also a sign of failure to provide security for lagoons. As we are not as populated as India or China where people use bike a lot more than we do here.
Giving road construction contracts to China companies who only construction low quality roads especially in area where low income earner who make major of the electorate reside
Go and examine the LASU – Egbeda road that awarded to the China company and see for yourself how bad the road is only a few years after its completion
Amount to waste of public funds
Harassment of people By LATSMA, why the duplication when we have road safety officer and police ask yourself
Alpha Betta the tax collection consultancy services provider is owned by Tinubu and also replicated in Most APC controlled states.
Many and more of this is what you should expect In an APC led government
Be guided accordingly
I am so happy about what is happening in Nigeria at National and some states like Rivers, Imo Lagos etc. It is no longer CARRY GO. Nigerians are now wiser. The national and state assemblies will be balanced and I tell you, Nigeria will be better for it. Whichever party that wins will try their best, it is no longer business as usual.
Let Nigerians think straight. Let aside the insurgency and d recent fall in d value of naira, GEJ has performed brilliantly to a reasonable level. Take an assessment of d development in Aviation, Rail/Road transportation, Road Constructions, Education, Power sector, Agriculture, Health, etc. Terrorism is all over d world, I think supporting d government in fighting Boko Haram will not only have positive impact but also give d gvt a concentrated mind on other social/economy issues. So, Nigerians, support d GEJ 4 continuity.
Guys, we shld stop all dis uncivilized thinking. this is a global world! Hw can a president of a nation freez an individual account.My president cannt decend so low! He is a democratic leader without single blood of military ideologies
if APC and its fold do everything’s in the ambit of the law there is not cause for alarm, I feel that they stand to be compelling and commanding things as if they are God…..it must be this or that….we must protest… I wonder it is by force or by fire.
if there leaders are found in money laundry let the law take its course after all they shouting for corruption and also,private jet must operate within the law and could not be used as commercial and if found to be such will be sanction or granted….that has nothing to do with politics…. it is the law.
APC should not cry foul…..go to court if that is injustice.
How long can the ordinary Nigerians continue to be fooled? JUST imagine the illiteracy rate in Nigeria; about 33%. No wonder the politicians who are primarily interested in their pockets & are using them to advance their business realize that they can no longer manipulate things as the wish. ALL of them are birds of the same feathers for now until Nigerians become literates.But don’t forget that we have many Nigerians with phd who are worse than ilitrates.
GEJ would have not spent so much or stress himself to return as president this year had it been he did the right things in his last six years as Nigeria president. A right thinking Nigerian will not vote PDP to power again. Bokoharsm that was too though are now being over powered within six week just in the name of re-election. I wonder where they now get the funds and armunition for soldiers which they cannot equip prior to now. Why is PDP now turn to sudden saints if not because of election. Fuel price has jumped to almost #120 as at last Sunday may be because they have used the money purported for subsidy for campaign. Nigerians,open your eyes well! Don’t vote because of ethnicity,tribalism or religion! Vote because of past record. A man built two refineries within 16 month while a man could not even build a filling station for Nigeria in his six years ruling. A word is enough for a wise. Shine your eyes.
The director of the series “Desperate Housewives” must have been projecting the internal arbitrary strangling playing out in the mind of an average pdp stalwart.
All this noise about Buhari being a man that is free of corruption would have made sense if only he will be the real person in charge and running things should APC win. It is TINUBU that will be in control and run the country just the way he is running the show in Lagos where when he wakes, Lagos wake and when he is going to bed, Lagos also goes to bed. What he is gunning for now are the OIL BLOCKS in the Niger Delta.
