The All Progressives Congress on Monday
said only those who are guilty of crimes against the Nigerian people

It assured Nigerians that the incoming
Buhari administration will not persecute anyone, contrary to statements
credited to President Goodluck Jonathan.
This was contained in a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
APC said, “Those who have played poker

will not be bogged down by endless probes.
“However,
the hands of the incoming government will not be tied by those who have
chosen to play the victim and exhibit a persecution mentality.
“Whoever has any reason to be afraid must lay bare such reason before Nigerians.

climate of change which Nigerians have ushered in with their votes, only
the guilty needs to be afraid. Those with a guilty conscience, on

The party wondered why the President
chose a public forum to express his fears when he could have done so
privately during his meetings with the President-elect.
