APC wants independent probe of "PDP's plan to kill Buhari "

 

The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has called for an independent inquiry into the alleged Peoples Democratic Party's plan to kill its presidential flag bearer General Muhammadu‎ Buhari ahead of next month's polls.

The Buhari campaign said in a statement by its media and publicity director Malam Garba Shehu Monday that it is bewildered by plans of the PDP and their surrogates to be plotting the death of Buhari ahead of the February 14 presidential poll.

The APC presidential campaign said it wants 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."

“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 lacklustre performance,” the APC campaign said.

It describes as distasteful the paid advertisement by PDP Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, titled “Life and Death and Enough of State Burials...”, as “nothing but death plan by the government in power to scuttle the results of the election and prevent the APC from taking over the mantle of leadership of the country.”
