SINISTER PLOT TO ARREST CPC CHIEFTAINS

CPC PRESS RELEASE.

16 May 2011

The Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, wishes to bring to the attention of

Nigerians and the International community of a devious plan by the PDP-led

Federal Government to arrest and clamp in indefinite detention, notable leaders

of our great party.

The ostensible reason would be to forestall a planned disruption of the

inauguration ceremony on May 29, 2011on the pretext of a spurious security

report; but the real reason for the arrests is to scuttle the planned use of

forensic evidence to buttress our petition of the massive manipulations of the

April 16, 2011 presidential elections.

As a prelude to this sinister plot, a report had been leaked to a section of the

Nigerian media that is in cahoots with the PDP-led Federal Government in using

subterfuge to hoodwink unsuspecting Nigerians.

Meanwhile, we are not unaware of the cash handouts to the band of renegades

(formerly of CPC) that made the infamous press statement, denouncing the

decision of the Party’s National leadership to file its petition against the

conduct and results of the Presidential elections.

We hereby use this medium to appeal to our loyal party faithfuls and admirers,

across the Nation’s geo-political divides and abroad, to remain calm in the

midst of the ceaseless tribulation from the ruling PDP. Our petition at the

elections tribunal shall be pursued with resoluteness and undiminished fervency.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Rotimi Fashakin. (Engr.)

National Publicity Secretary.
