Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, Bola Tinubu, Rotimi Amaechi, Timipree Sylva
and others have been hacked. In a statement released yesterday Feb.
12th, the APC also alleged that there are plans to arrest its National
Publicity secretary Lai Mohammed in the coming days. The statement in
part reads;
"As the elections approach, we know the harassment and intimidation
will be stepped up. We know our leaders, including the National
Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, former Governor Bola Tinubu,
Governor Rotimi Amaechi, former Governor Timipre Sylva, Senator Bukola
Saraki and National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, are
under surveillance and their phones have been hacked. We are aware
that several of them, especially the National Publicity Secretary,
have been marked down for arrest in the days to come.
We know there are evil plots to frame some of them on trumped-up
charges. We know our lives are in danger. But these and more will not
deter us from continuing to act in the national interest or from
seeking to effect change through the ballot box. Yes, we are alerting
Nigerians that if anything happens to us they should know where it is
coming from, but for us there is no going back because we are
resolute."
We are glad that instead of weakening the resolve and enthusiasm of
Nigerians, the Presidency-orchestated postponement has further
galvanized them to be more determined not only to vote but also to
defend their votes.
Nigerians must demand and insist that the elections be held as
rescheduled, that there will be no interim government or tenure
elongation. Nigerians have the power to forge change with their
voter's cards and no one must deny them that right,"
