President planning to freeze Tinubu, Amaechi’s accounts, APC alleges

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan is planning to freeze the accounts of two of its leaders, Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State and party leader, Bola Tinubu.

The allegation was made via a statement released on Saturday, February 28, by the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential campaign, Garba Shehu.

Shehu stated that Jonathan was planning to freeze the accounts in order to ground the campaign of APC Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.

“The hint we gather from sources is that the government, through its agents, is plotting to ground aircraft and freeze bank accounts of APC stakeholders. But history has shown that the forces of evil can never succeed against the zeal of men and women of virtue and good deeds,” the statement reads.

“There is also a plot to block or freeze the bank accounts of APC chieftains like Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Rotimi Amaechi (Director General of APC Presidential Campaign Organisation), and other prominent leaders believed to be funding the General’s campaign; and availing him their aircrafts for electioneering purposes,” it added.

Shehu added that Jonathan was trying to cripple the Buhari campaign due to the global attention the latter had received during his recent appearance at Chatham House, London.
