The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State has alleged a plot to attack the party’s National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, on Sunday.

The party alleged that the sponsors of the panned attack have mobilised thugs to assault the National Chairman during the Gindiri Old Students’ Reunion Service, scheduled to hold on Sunday in Gindiri town, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.

In a statement issued by the state’s Acting Publicity Secretary, Shittu Bamaiyi, the party said it had uncovered the plot.

“Already sponsors of the alleged attack are said to be meeting today in a private residence in Jos to put finishing touches on the wicked plan. As part of the plan, three buses have been allegedly earmarked for each of the 20 electoral wards in Mangu local government area to convey thugs to Gindiri Missionary Compound, venue of the Reunion service, in order to embarrass the National Chairman and his entourage.” the statement said.

“According to unconfirmed reports, thugs will also be stationed at the Gindiri roundabout in Mangu, where they will be shouting “Ba ma so, Ba ma so”, immediately Nentawe enters the town. Further more, the Press from within and outside Plateau State will be fully mobilised to create the impression that people of Plateau State despise the National Chairman.

“In view of this unhealthy development, APC, as a law abiding political party, is urgently requesting security agencies to investigate the matter to forestall any breakdown of law and order. The Party is also appealing to its teeming supporters to remain calm and law abiding,” Shittu added. (Daily Trust)
