All Progressives Congress has said that President Goodluck Jonathan that whoever has a reason to be afraid must lay bare such reason before Nigerians.
On Sunday, during the Thanksgiving service at Abuja, President Jonathan during his speech said he is afraid himself and his ministers will be prosecuted.
In a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, APC said “Those who have played poker with the nation’s destiny must be willing and eager to clear their conscience before man and God.
“That the President-elect is a man of integrity is not an issue for debate, and he has made it clear that he will not be bogged down by endless probes.
“However, the hands of the incoming government will not be tied by those who have chosen to play the victim and exhibit a persecution mentality.
“Whoever has any reason to be afraid must lay bare such reason before Nigerians.”
The party wondered why the President choose a public forum to express those fears or the President could have informed the President-Elect, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari during one of their meetings.
The Party said “Even if the two have not met, the President could have reached out to the President-elect over any fears that he may be nursing, instead of engaging in an action that seems like he was being pre-emptive and seeking to curry public sympathy.”
