The APC Presidential Campaign Organization says that the PDP-led Federal Government is working extra hours to raise malicious charges against the leaders and suspected financiers of the opposition All Progressives Congress ,using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in order to force Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to “try his own men” in a test of his bid to fight corruption without fear or favor.
In a statement ,the APCPCO Media Director, Garba Shehu said that the federal government planned to take advantage of a vow by General Buhari that if elected, he will not investigate the past, but that all on-going cases will be allowed to run their course without any hindrance.
The campaign organization cited an alleged memo to EFCC from the Chief of Staff to the President,Brig-Gen Jones Arogbofa (rtd) which it described as a mischievous attempt to railroad the Presidential Candidate of the APC, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to subject his own supporters to trial and conviction.It accused Arogbofa of recommending senior APC leaders, businessmen and company CEOs for investigation and trial by the commission.
On the list are former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Gov. Rotimi Amaechi, Gov. Adams Oshiomhole, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal and Gov. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano State.
