The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State has alleged that there is a plan underway to arrest former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
The ADC publicity secretary in the state, Luckyman Egila, disclosed this on Friday in an interview with Leadership in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Egila referenced the arrest of former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, stressing that the party cannot ignore the plot to arrest Amaechi.
According to Egila, as the country’s major opposition political party, ADC and its chieftains have become the government’s main targets.
He said, “Well, you call it a rumour, but this is politics and we cannot write it off. Remember that El-Rufai was arrested by DSS and they seem to be after everybody that they see as opposition.
“As you know in Nigeria now, the African Democratic Congress is the main opposition political party that is out to unseat the ruling party. We cannot write it off that there is no plot. They are actually out to arrest whoever that is capable of opposing the or defeating them.
“African Democratic Congress is a law abiding political party, we are yet to hear if they will arrest him publicly or anything.
“We are watching for now. We hope that they are not going to get to that edge because Nigerians are also watching.”
