Nigeria's opposition political party; All Progressive Congress (APC) has accused the President Goodluck Jonathan led Federal Government’s security agencies of hacking into the mobile lines of former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, Rivers State Governor,
Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Bukola Saraki.
Besides, the party also revealed that the telephones of its National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, had also been bugged by the security agencies.
The statement signed by Lai Mohammed 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-orchestrated postponement has further galvanised them to be more determined not only to vote but also to defend their votes."
The party however charged President Jonathan not forget the verdict of history and put his ‘dogs of war’ on a leash.
