The APC reportedly employed the services of a Chicago-based political consulting firm, which has been involved in backing its presidential candidate Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).
The firm, simply known as AKPD is owned by David Axelrod, the architect of Barack Obama’s election and re-election campaign.
According to ad76.com, the Obama administration has refused to do anything to help Nigeria in the fight against insurgency, instead it has continued to publicly magnify every failure Nigeria’s government experienced.
Since the involvement of Axelrod’s firm last year, relations between the two nations have significantly deteriorated, with the US refusing to sell arms to Nigeria, a significant reduction in the purchase of Nigeria’s oil, and the cancellation of a military training agreement between both countries.
In turn, the APC used the US government’s position as an opportunity to discredit the Jonathan government.
AKPD has in the past, admitted to doing work on behalf of the APC in the past, but claimed to have ceased its ties in March 2014 after Boko Haram kidnapped hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls.
However, emails sent between senior APC party members and advisers show that contrary to the firm’s claims, AKPD has quietly continued to perform political work on Buhari’s behalf as he fights to unseat current President Goodluck Jonathan.
