“President Jonathan Orders Tinubu & APC Financiers Arrested” – Opposition Raises Alarm
March 22, 2015 – “President Jonathan Orders Tinubu & APC Financiers Arrested” – Opposition Raises Alarm
Official press release by the All Progressives Congress Party
“Without mincing words, we are aware that a red alert has been sent to the EFCC to arrest the national leader of our party, the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on trumped-up charges anytime from now. In addition, anyone who is suspected of being a financier of the APC is to be arrested, all in efforts to decapitate the main opposition party which is undoubtedly cruising to victory in the forthcoming elections.
“And as part of the offensive against the APC in the days ahead, there is a plan to freeze the accounts of companies, individuals and organisations believed to be financing the party, with the ultimate objective of crippling the party so it won’t be able to sustain its activities, like paying its agents on Election Day and other logistics,” a statement issued on Saturday by the party said.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lai Mohammed, who spoke in Lagos at a press conference on Saturday said that the planned arrest of Tinubu and other APC financiers was a fallout of Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido’s statement that all that needs to be done to break the opposition party is to “kidnap” two of its leaders.
Mohammed said, “Definitely, the current move to arrest Asiwaju and anyone they suspect to be a financier of our party fits into the alarm we raised and the open threat by Gov. Lamido. How predictable can a government be? It is clear that the momentum has swung to the side of our party, with just a little over a week before the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
“It is clear that Nigerians have rejected the PDP and have embraced our party, the APC, as the agent of the change that they (Nigerians) so much desire. That explains the desperation being exhibited by the PDP-led Jonathan administration to arrest Asiwaju, whom they see as the arrowhead of the opposition, believing that this will cripple our party and stop the momentum we have gained.”

One thing that I noticed about this president is that he has no mind of his own, he let his associates decide for him and that is one of his weaknesses which makes him so unpopular. How could think of arresting your adversaries when it is only 5 days to general election. You don’t just do something when people told you to it. At times you as individual need to sit down and ponder about the backlash of what you are getting yourself into. Anyway no arrest can change the mind of Nigerian people at this eleventh hour. Mr. President all you need to do now is to start working on how to transfer that seat to Buhari. Well, you have tried enough but Nigerians have tired about your lukewarm policy and you will never have chance again in your life time to go back to that seat. Thank you sir.

In advance countries of the world like the U.S, Germany, Britain and Israel just to mention a few, incumbent government is forbidden from using public funds for political campaign. In those mentioned nations, such offense carry penalties such as impeachment of the incumbent, jail term etc. Criminal Badluck Jonathan has been using part of the stolen 20 billion dollars missing from the NNPC account to bribe his way to third term (ten years term) without any consequence. He has prevented APC candidates from both state and federal levels from carrying out a peaceful campaign with any form of humiliation from his political thugs. As part of this do-nothing president strategies to rig next presidential election, he has descended so low to harassment of the opposition party members, voter’s intimidation and voters suppression. If this corrupt president refuses to learn a good lesson from Sanni Abacha fallout from power, then his own down fall will be the worse in Nigerian history. President Badluck Ebele Jonathan knows for sure that it is impossible for him to win reelection in a free and fair manner free of election Fraud because of his failed records of six years, therefore, he has resulted to criminal behaviors and unpatriotic activities to cripple the voting processes on election day. If the election is rigged, Jonathan will be disgraced and killed in a very bloody military coup shortly after the election. Victory won through innocent blood, political unrest and intimidation, and by suppression of the people votes does not last. What ever has a beginning must surely has an end. Jonathan sudden rise to power will surely result to his sudden fallout from power. I hope that General Mohammad Buhari find enough funds to fund is government after his election victory on March 28th, 2015, and after his sworn in as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on May 29th, 2015. Jonathan is treading towards his ultimate destruction together with his barbaric and jazebel wife. His days are numbered in Aso Rock Villa and is still a misery how this dumb, vagabond, and low IQ person became Nigeria president in the first place. OBJ should be blamed for imposing this uncontrolled monster on Yaradua and for backing him up during the 2011 presidential election. JONATHAN administration is a shame of a nation and a national disaster to all Nigerians both home and abroad.

NO Pastor, Imam, Babalawo, Oba, Obi, Emir, Obong, Chief, Militant etc can tell me who to vote for, NEVER!….
I bear the brunt of unemployment, not the Pastor….I suffer epileptic power supply, not the Imams…..When my landlord increases house rent, the Oba will not send me money to augment it….
When medical bills needs to be paid, I won’t see the Obi….When armed robbers show up in my neighborhood, the Emir won’t be there to rescue me…When time comes to pay exorbitant private school fees for my children because public schools that produced the likes of Soyinka, Chinua Achebe are derelict, no Militant will come to my rescue…
The roads leading to Obong’s palace are bad, he has not done anything about it, how can he help me?
Exchange rate has plummeted while the economy worsened yet the Babalawo suffers in silence with me as he is unable to use his juju to make our economic problems disappear…
My siblings and the children of the Chief who are graduates for the past 8 years have remained unemployed while he is powerless to help them…
So I alone will decide WHO IS MAKING ME GO THROUGH ALL THESE HARDSHIP, AND USING MY PVC TO TERMINATE HIS TENURE, IF I DON’T LIKE HIS POOR HANDLING OF GOVERNANCE!

@ Omokehinde…. The truth is that, it’s the same stolen Nigeria funds from tinubu, Atiku, Obasanjo and Amechi they using in financing Buhary campaign, which they will get back in 1000% in return when Buhary becomes president. Do you think these people care about the poor masses?
Jonathan and Buhary is not the solution to Nigeria problem. The solution to Nigerians problem is for us to start loving our selfes. We Nigerians are too greedy to the extent we don’t even love our self any more. We even worship foreigners in our own country. We love foreigner more than our self. These foreigner treat us like slave in their country.
By the time we start loving our selfe. Then we will have a good leader. Then we can work together to fight and flush these corrupt leaders and install a good leader.

GEJ needs to arrest all Nigerians if he really want to win the forthcoming election. People’s minds are already made up even if he arrest the whole members of APC, no one would want to vote for a failure repeatedly.
