National Publicity Secretary of APC Alhaji Lai Mohammed said the party has alerted the nation, through a press statement, that the president’s supporters, led by the OPC, took to major roads in the city, during rush hour traffic, to unleash mayhem on the citizens, creating massive gridlock that prevented workers from reaching their places of work and destroyed APC’s campaign posters.
“They said we are raising false alarm. But just as we had alerted Nigerians, the Jonathan administration’s sponsored protest took place, with dire consequences for residents.”
The APC maintained that the president’s chances in the forthcoming elections suffered a collateral damage as an alleged N9 billion powered protest backfired, with his supporters forced to have a rethink due to the massive scale of the lawlessness and brigandage that took place during a supposedly peaceful protest.’’
“During the forthcoming demonstrations, the protesters have been told to carry placards asking the EFCC to probe the allegations made against Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the deceitful, ill-intentioned and irresponsible ‘documentary’ that was sponsored by the same Jonathan administration. Such is the level of president Jonathan’s desperation for re-election that a man who is not on the ballot in the forthcoming elections has become a target of unprecedented mudslinging by his (President’s) Administration,’’ the party said.
