Boko Haram Plot Against Atiku: APC Tackles PDP’s ‘Disgraceful Humor’

The All Progressives Congress, APC on Tuesday described as humor laced with mischief, the claim by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP that the ruling party had a link to the alleged Boko Haram plot against the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

While challenging the PDP to lay evidence of its allegation linking it to the alleged plot, the APC chided the opposition party over its resort to ‘wicked blackmail’ in its prosecution of the election petition at the Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC.

In a statement issued by the APC’s national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, on the PDP’s assertions on the alleged Boko Haram plot against Atiku, the APC said:

“Spewing lies and gibberish has become the PDP’s obsessive preoccupation following its crushing defeat in the last Presidential Election. This bizarre and senseless allegation comes only days after the same badly ailing Party alleged, without a shred of substantiation, that APC was engaged in a plot to intimidate members of the judiciary seeking to influence the outcome of pending cases before the Election Petitions Courts.

“It is downright irresponsible for the PDP to continuously politicize serious matters of security and national importance for its vain and macabre humor. As an age-old Party, this ceaseless display of egregious incivility in the conduct of its affairs is disgraceful and SAD.

“Acts of terror or involvement in a terrorist plot are heinous crimes under the law and  the PDP cannot continue to bandy allegations around without justification. Atiku Abubakar is a citizen of Nigeria and deserves the fullest protection of the law. Our law enforcement authorities must protect and investigate any threat to his person, family or assets and prosecute offenders.

“However, Atiku Abubakar’s PDP cannot continue to peddle criminal blackmail and wicked falsehoods in the name of opposition politics, unrestrained and without accountability.

“We call on the Police, Department of State Services (DSS) and other relevant security services to investigate the PDP’s wild and bogus allegations, invite the PDP’s leadership to substantiate these claims and bring the perpetrators to justice.

“Nigerians roundly rejected the PDP at the polls. Rather than engage in some introspection and give the court the time of day to deliver a verdict in the case they have brought challenging the election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, they have chosen to busy themselves with swimming in abysmal pool of lies and mischief.

“While vigorously defending our legitimate and popular election mandate in court, our Party will continue to win the hearts and minds of Nigerians through President Tinubu’s strategic program of social and economic development designed to improve the living conditions of our people,” the APC said in its dismissal of the insinuations by the PDP over the alleged Boko Haram plot against Atiku.
