The national leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) Chief Bola Tinubu has reportedly
accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of
plotting to loot the country’s treasury for 60
years.
The Punch reports that the former Lagos state
governor’s allegation was contained in a
goodwill message released on Saturday, June 23
after the party’s convention.

Tinubu said many people were against the
formation of the APC and did all they could to
stop the merger.
He alleged that the doubters forged different
tactics to prevent the APC’s formation.
He said: “The doubters who gave APC no chance of
existence or of continued survival have gotten their reply in
full. Their envious prayers and complaints have been
answered in reverse.
“They wanted to see the end of us and our pursuit of good
governance for Nigeria. You should not forget, as I shall
never forget, the strong efforts they made to stop us in the
courts.
“There were twelve cases brought trying to stop us from
merging, from registering the new party, then attempting to
bar our candidate from the election.
“Lacking the courage to face the democratic will of the
people, they tried to misuse the courts as a weapon against
democracy.
“We thank the judiciary for following the letter and spirit of
the constitution by dismissing this dirty dozen of malicious
cases filed against us.
“With their schemes foiled, those who tried to destroy us
must bear witness to the destruction of their edifice of
corrupt governance and their dreams of unjust domination
of our nation.
“While they planned a lifetime of greedy enrichment by
looting the people’s resources and the public treasury for 60
years, we moved to reform the economy to bring
development and aid to the poor. ”
“When they hoisted the standard of bias, we raised the flag
of justice and the chevron of fairness.”
Meanwhile, Tinubu pledged his support for
President Muhammadu Buhari's second term bid,
saying that the president deserved a second term
in office.
