APC’s was responding to a statement by President Goodluck Jonathan that his ministers and himself would be persecuted in the coming days by the newly elected administration.
In a statement by APC signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party insisted 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.
Oky o! We don hie.

ReplyDeleteIf GEJ and his cabinet are clean, I see no need for him being afraid of probing. Only a corrupt and unclean individual go around making noise when he knows he is unclean.
ReplyDeleteSo he should relax. And saying if he is probe there would be war is the height of ignonimity. So you guys are saaying even if he is corrupt, he should be left alone because South South are known for militancy? That is bullshit. It even a pity that some folks can think this way.
Aside from the South South militants, how many citizens from the South South have enjoy the devidends of this administratin?
