The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has challenged the Department of State Services (DSS) to get tough with plotters of the interim national government.
POLITICS NIGERIA had reported on Wednesday that the Nigerian secret police confirmed a plot to scuttle a handover to President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Commenting on the DSS’ update, the Director of Strategic Communications for the APC PCC, Idris Mohammed, said the DSS should arrest the plotters.
Mohammed warned that the APC PCC would go all out to ensure nothing hinders a smooth swearing-in of Tinubu.
“The APC PCC is aligned with the position of the DSS, which we believe is doing its job. If this statement is coming directly from the DSS itself, it means that it is not an empty allegation.
“In any case, we believe the security agencies are also there to deal with this kind of situation. That is why they are there. Their duty is to thwart any threat against the Nigerian nation. They should react to it and go the extra mile to pin down those also responsible.
“We are seeing a pattern which we believe the DSS is also seeing. Otherwise, you cannot as far as call for a coup d’etat and pretend to still believe in democracy,” Punch quotes Mohammed as saying.
