Ekweremadu concocted assassination attempt story – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday said it had no hand in an alleged assassination attempt on the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.

Timi Frank, Acting National Publicity Secretary of APC, in a statement described the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) allegation that APC was behind the attempt on Ekweremadu’s life as “induced hallucination”.

The PDP through its spokesman, Chief Olisa Metuh had alleged of a plot by the APC to exterminate Ekweremadu and other opposition leaders.‎

Metuh told newsmen on Wednesday that the lives of key opposition members were endangered.

But Frank stated that it was unfortunate that the PDP resorted to cheap blackmail.

He said that the PDP was yet to purge itself of cheap and manipulative strategies that helped to escort it to the doldrums that it was in today.

Frank noted that the past 16 years of PDP’s rule saw a Minister, Chief Bola Ige, politicians like Harry Marshall and Funso Williams assassinated with no attempt to unravel the mysteries that surrounded their deaths.

“It would, therefore, be unfortunate for the PDP to elevate this strategic act it had perfected over the years to a political art or a propaganda tool,” he added.
