The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) today alleged the existence of a plan by the Federal Government to arrest and clamp its leaders into indefinite detention.
In a press statement, the CPC said while the ostensible reason for the arrests would be to forestall a planned disruption of the presidential inauguration ceremony on May 29, “the real reason for the arrests is to scuttle the planned use of forensic evidence to buttress our petition of the massive manipulations of the April 16, 2011 presidential elections.”
The government has yet to react to the allegation.

The Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, wishes to bring to the attention of Nigerians and the International community of a devious plan by the PDP-led Federal Government to arrest and clamp in indefinite detention, notable leaders of our great party.
The ostensible reason would be to forestall a planned disruption of the
inauguration ceremony on May 29, 2011on the pretext of a spurious security
report; but the real reason for the arrests is to scuttle the planned use of forensic evidence to buttress our petition of the massive manipulations of the April 16, 2011 presidential elections.
As a prelude to this sinister plot, a report had been leaked to a section of the Nigerian media that is in cahoots with the PDP-led Federal Government in using subterfuge to hoodwink unsuspecting Nigerians.
Meanwhile, we are not unaware of the cash handouts to the band of renegades
(formerly of CPC) that made the infamous press statement, denouncing the
decision of the Party’s National leadership to file its petition against the conduct and results of the Presidential elections.
We hereby use this medium to appeal to our loyal party faithfuls and admirers, across the Nation’s geo-political divides and abroad, to remain calm in the midst of the ceaseless tribulation from the ruling PDP. Our petition at the elections tribunal shall be pursued with resoluteness and undiminished fervency.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Rotimi Fashakin. (Engr.)
