Govt wants to Rope Me in Phantom Coup Plot-Alhaji Atiku Abubakar

The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in the recently concluded Presidential elections in Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has raised the alarm over  the Federal Government's plot to implicate him in a phantom coup.

According to a statement issued  by the Media Aide of Alhaji Abubakar, Paul Ibe, the plot was to prevent the exposure of the irregularities that characterizede the elections.

“We want to know why the desperation on the part of the Muhammadu Buhari government to rope in the PDP and its Presidential candidate in phantom plots? Obviously, President Buhari wants to replay the phantom coup plot saga of his now deceased mentor, who threw former President Olusegun Obasanjo in jail after falsely accusing him of treason in order to perpetuate himself in power.''
 
“Could it be that they are now aware that the electoral fraud they perpetrated during the last presidential election is about to be exposed beyond a shadow of a doubt? 
 
“For the avoidance of doubt, Atiku Abubakar resisted the Abacha dictatorship, of which President Muhammadu Buhari was a prominent member, and it is his resistance and the sacrifice of his co-travellers, like Chief MKO Abiola and Alex Ekwueme, amongst others, that gave rise to the democracy that the current government is now trampling on'', the statement concluded.
