EKO HOT BLOG reports that Egila linked the alleged plot to the recent arrest of former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El Rufai, saying the party could not dismiss the possibility that Amaechi may also be targeted.

“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,” he said.

According to him, the ADC considers itself the major opposition force and believes its members are under scrutiny.

“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,” Egila stated.

He maintained that the party remains law abiding but said it was monitoring developments closely.

“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.”
