The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Jonathan Administration of plotting to hinder a smooth handover of power on May 29.
According to the party's assessment of the outgoing regime, it is becoming apparent that it will not fully cooperate with the incoming government, despite its public posturing in that regard.
In a statement issued in Abuja yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the APC also described as an act of hostility and a patently-misplaced aggression the unnecessary vituperation against the incoming Buhari administration" by the Jonathan government, ostensibly because of the terms of reference of the Buhari Transition Committee, "but in reality part of an orchestrated plot to sabotage the transition."
The party, "rejected the continued blackmail by the Jonathan administration as a result of President Jonathan's concession of defeat," wondering whether the concession, "gracious as it was," has now become a shield for all wrong doings.
"We are sick and tired of being blackmailed by the 'Jonathanians.' Gen. Buhari won the March 28 Presidential election fair and square, having satisfied both constitutional and other statutory requirements. We have no apology for our victory, and the concession of defeat – while it may have increased the political stock of President Jonathan – has by no means diminished the historic and emphatic victory of Gen.Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress," the party said.
