Apc denies assassination attempt on Ike Ekweremadu and other PDP members in the senate

Responding to an alleged assassination attempt on the members of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) by the All Progressive Congress(APC), the All Progressive Congress on Thursday in a statement release, denied claims by the opposition party(PDP), that the leading party(APC), is planning on assassinating some members of the PDP in the senate.

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

This was contained in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja by Mr Timi Frank the Acting National Publicity Secretary of APC.

The 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 spokesperson, Olisa Metuh, had on Wednesday, alleged that the safety of its members, where in question, as he sighted an alleged plot by the APC to Exterminate Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, and other opposition leaders.

In his reaction to the allegation, 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 is in today.

He said that the past 16 years of PDP’s rule saw a Minister, Chief Bola Ige, politicians like Harry Marshall and Funso William 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,’’ the statement Read.
