PDP Plans To Assassinate Buhari – APC

The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) has protested yesterday’s cover wrap-around advertisement in two national dailies placed by the Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose, titled “Nigerians Be Warned!”

The party therefore alleged that the on-going campaigns on Buhari’s health, using forged medical reports, and now suggestions of death are reeking of plots to eliminate him before or after he wins the February 14 presidential election.

In separate statements by the director, media and publicity, APC Presidential Campaign Organization, Malam Garaba Shehu, while reacting to the advertisement in which Nigerians were asked to choose between life and death, grouping Buhari among former Nigerian leaders who were either killed or died of natural causes while in office, said it was the height of desperation by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Consequently, the campaign organisation has called for an international inquiry into the plot to kill Buhari because of the danger it poses to Nigeria’s unity and democracy and by extension the stability of the West African sub-region.

“Taken in its ordinary meaning, Garba said the APC alleged that the on-going campaign on Buhari’s health, using forged medical reports, and now suggestions of death are reeking of plots to eliminate him (Buhari)before or after he wins.

“The insinuation that the leader of Nigeria’s opposition should or may die ahead of the February 14 presidential polls is not only morbid and fatalistic, but drips of desperation and represents the pinnacle of political paranoia on the part of the incumbent government which has run out of favour with the populace after nearly six years of lackluster performance.

“This is the height of desperate tactics by the PDP, which is capable of degenerating into unnecessary bloodshed and destruction. They are choosing death for us. This is not politics.
We are therefore, asking our supporters to stay calm and be law-abiding.”

The Campaign Organization therefore advised President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP leadership to take charge of their campaigns for re-election before their surrogates plunge the nation into “confusion and anarchy”. Leadership
