The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign
Organisation has raised the alarm about reports of a fake
Abubakar Shekau (Boko Haram leader) allegedly being
paraded by the Federal Government, which it says the
government intends to use to create an impression that it is
winning the war on terrorism.
It said credible sources had alerted the APC that the fake
Shekau might become a tool to blackmail members of the
opposition “by coaching the phantom terror chief” to say he
was working for the opposition party candidate, Maj. Gen
Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), in order to link its presidential
candidate to terrorism as it had attempted but failed in the
past.
A statement by the Director of Media and Publicity of the
APCOPC, Malam Garba Shehu, wondered where the “new
Shekau” would come from after government, at several
times in the past, announced that it had killed the
insurgents’ leader.
“The charge to the military, that they should catch Shekau
alive by the President in the last 24 hours, lends credence to
the report that indeed a fake Shekau is about being
created,” it said.
The statement noted that “the profile of the leader of the
insurgents, Shekau, of a dedicated ideologue,” presupposed
that the man was not likely to allow himself to be caught
alive.
“It is both contradictory to the ideology he preaches and the
psychological profile that the world has of him that Shekau
would allow himself to be caught alive,” the statement said.
The APCPCO recalled that the attack in Kaduna, on the
party’s presidential candidate, was believed by most
Nigerians that it was perpetrated by the Boko Haram.
It added, “The police that are constitutionally empowered to
investigate and report on such incidents have not
contradicted the widespread belief that this was a Boko
Haram’s attack.
“The view of the APC is that it does not make sense for
General Muhammadu Buhari to be in league with, or be
associated in any way with people who have set out to kill
him.” CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
