All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the incoming
President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari administration will not persecute
anyone, contrary to statements credited to President Goodluck Jonathan.
In a statement issued in Abuja yesterday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said, however, that those who
had 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 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.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com..‘’The last time we checked, this does not fit the definition of persecution,’’ APC said..The party wondered why President Goodluck Jonathan 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 pre-emptive and
seeking to curry public sympathy,’’ it said
APC insisted that the priority of the incoming government would 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.
