The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the incoming Buhari Administration will not persecute anyone, contrary to statements credited to President Goodluck Jonathan. In a statement issued in Abuja on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said, however, that those who have played poker with the nation’s destiny must be willing and eager to clear their conscience before man and God."That the President-elect is a man of integrity is not an issue for debate, and he has made it clear that he will not be bogged down by endless probes.
"However, the hands of the incoming government will not be tied by those who have chosen to play the victim and exhibit a persecution mentality. Whoever has any reason to be afraid must lay bare such reason before Nigerians,” the party said. It said that under the climate of change that Nigerians have ushered in with their votes, only the guilty needs to be afraid, and those with a guilty conscience, on account of their actions in the public sphere, must clear such so they can be at peace with themselves.
"The last time we checked, this does not fit the definition of persecution,” APC said. The party wondered why the President chose a public forum to express his fears when he could have done so privately during his meetings with the President-elect.
"Since the presidential election was won and lost, the President and the President-elect have met privately a number of times. Why didn’t President Jonathan express his apprehensions during these meetings? ”Even if the two have not met, the President could have reached out to the President-elect over any fears that he may be nursing, instead of engaging in an action that seems like he was being preemptive and seeking to curry public sympathy,” it said
APC insisted that the priority of the incoming government will be the welfare and security of the long-suffering people of Nigeria, and enjoined all citizens to support the Administration in charting a new path for the country – away from the rapaciousness and impunity of the past years.

DeleteWe l see as things unfold
ReplyDeleteApc should learn to look the other way atimes while waiting to take over. It's not everything the out going government says that they should reply to. They're still very much in the campaign mood and very combative. Replying very harshly to everything Jona says is like trying to rub the defeat on their faces. They should know when to stop hitting a man already knocked out and on the ground. The above reply is totally not necessary.
DeleteThen GEJ shouldn't have made such statement/fears, playing to the gallery by seeking public sympathy for looting

ReplyDeleteMoye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....
Out of respect maybe Buhari will not probe GEJ, but I don't see those GEJ's ministers and staff will not be probed. APC is saying this because they don't know the extent to which the treasury has been emptied, right now APC like the rest of us is just basing the magnitude of embezzlement on rumors or on how large government officials live, we really don't know the facts, its until Buhariu take power that we'll know whats truly going on and I am sure he wont smile after seeing the figures
ReplyDeletePDP is jst scared..ode pple
ReplyDeleteLmao very funny statement from APc lol gej don suffer
ReplyDeleteWhat is APC's problem,y are dey. Intimidating Jonathan who told dem he's scared of d incoming govt......the fact that he conceded defeat does nt min he's weak or he's a fool.....make den pack well jhoor

ReplyDeleteAPC it is not everything that you must issue a statement.
ReplyDeleteGEJ before you can be 'persecuted', they must first prosecute.
APC park well jor
ReplyDeleteLai don come again oooooo. Baba Folajimi elejo... dee
ReplyDeleteACP should fuck off. I am beginning to hate that party. They should leave Jonathan alone. When did he say he was scared of persecution? That speech he made on Sunday in church didn't sound like he was scared of anything. He made a beautiful speech and they are twisting it. This people are just bullys. Nonsense
ReplyDeleteMy tot dear
Deletenow that their American PR team has left, they will engage in media blunders. The President was talking about persecution from friends and supposed allies who may not be happy that their principal ensured credible elections selflessly and accepted defeat without a fight. It totally does not have anything to do with 'playing victim' or fear of probe. APC should please chill until they get in and stop the plenty unreasonable rants and press releases. This is so unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteGEJ shud not be afraid unless he's guilty
ReplyDeleteof something.
Did he said he's afraid? Chai Naija pple
DeleteAPC is just lost in the euphoria of their victory at the polls ; Nigerians didn't vote you guys because they love you , they voted Buhari because they trust him . Be sure to face the wrath of 170 million people if you fail
ReplyDeleteI am an APC SUPPORTER but sincerely Jonathan is a rare man...Lai Mohammed and APC should concentrate on the challenges ahead and stop attacking our President
ReplyDeleteLets learn how to practice matured politics...Lets grow up...Lets stop attacking our President..
ReplyDeleteGod bless
President Goodluck J
After may 29 we will now weather to prosecute or persecute or not. Abi aen run govt with empty account
