It also alleged that the APC is afraid of the only strong opposition party in the country because of its non-performance and abysmal failure of the party at all levels.
The statement read: “We have been reliably informed that the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), has concluded plans to embarrass our great party by using the anti graft agency, the @OfficialEFCC to arrest and detain key members of our party before the Convention on Saturday December 9, 2017.
“This is totally unacceptable and another plan of the APC led administration to create a one party state in the country. The only reason the APC is afraid of a strong opposition in Nigeria is due to the non-performance and abysmal failures of the party at all levels.
“We therefore call on all well meaning Nigerians and lovers of democracy worldwide to resist such uncanny attempt to destabilize our hard earned democracy. Nigeria belongs to all us and we must not allow a few people destroy this great country."
