President Muhammadu Buhari, barely s10 hours after his return from the United States of America where he had meetings with President Donald Trump, today, journeyed to Daura, his country home, for the Congress of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), scheduled to hold tomorrow, Saturday.
This is even as the Rivers State Chapter of the APC said that it has uncovered plan by a group sponsored by Governor Nyesom Wike and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to destabilize the Congresses the State.
President Buhari, who observed Friday (Jum’at) prayer at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, left for Daura immediately after the prayer and arrived in Daura, Katsina State past 4 in the evening. He was received on arrival by the governor of the State, Alhaji Aminu Masari and top functionaries of the State government.
And, a statement by the Rivers State APC, Chief Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, said: “information unearthed by the APC confirm that the group collected huge sum of money from the governor with the sole purpose of discrediting the congresses through wild allegations against leaders of the party especially the leader of the party in Rivers State and Honourable Minister for Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and the State Chairman, Chief (Dr.) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya amongst others.
“Details of the plan seem to have been rolled out already as the group has gone on air to accuse the Minister of hijacking materials for the congresses, an accusation that exposes the ignorance of the group and makes absolutely no sense at all.
“Whereas the APC is working hard to fully expose the full dimension of the plot and the evil people that are hell-bent on destabilizing our party congresses, we urge party faithful and the general public to ignore the well-known antics of Gov. Wike, the PDP and their collaborators within and outside the APC who have sold their souls to blood money. The party re-assures all members of strict adherence to the guidelines of the party congresses and not to be distracted by anyone or group under any guise.
“The party would like our members and the general public to refuse to be deceived by these agents of doom who are likely to employ diverse means to destabilize the party in fulfilment of the agreement between them and their sponsors.” [myad]
