The Atiku Abubakar
Campaign Organization this morning (Friday 8th September,
2006) expressed fears about the safety of its members.
This is sequel to the
heavy presence of security personnel mostly Police Officers, State
Security Service (SSS) and men of the Nigerian Civil Defence Corp early
in the day. Mid day, President Olusegun Obasanjo slowed down his convoy
and spent some moments observing the one-storey building that houses the
Media Resource Centre of the campaign.
“The dispatch rider of
Mr. President stopped in front of the building, allowing Mr. President
to make a snap observation of the building. He drove away shortly
after,” said one of the private security guards at the building.
The Campaign Office has
been on edge for the past two weeks after men of the State Security
Service (SSS) invaded the Political Resource Centre of the Campaign
Organization, located in the Asokoro area of Abuja .
The Atiku Abubakar
Presidential Campaign would like to alert the public over this
unwarranted and crude intimidation. Should anything evil happens to
members of the campaign, the Nigerian Pubic should know who to hold
responsible.
The campaign will
continue to defend Atiku Abubakar against officially sponsored smear
campaign and on-going efforts to undermine democracy in Nigeria . The
campaign has duly notified the International Community about the
impending onslaught on the campaign office.
