The All Progressives Congress has alerted Nigerians to some "419"
text messages making rounds and asking those seeking federal
appointments under the incoming Muhammadu Buhari Administration to
contact certain consultants via telephone and email.
The APC said no consultants have been hired to screen anyone for federal posts.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party urged Nigerians to ignore such text
messages, as they were definitely originated and circulated by
fraudulent persons.
"Even when it is obvious that those behind these messages are merely
seeking to swindle innocent Nigerians, some desperate persons may
still fall prey to the evil machinations of the con artists. This is
why we have decided to alert Nigerians to the fraudulent text
messages," it said.
APC reiterated its earlier statement that any information concerning
appointments into federal posts will be duly communicated to Nigerians
at the appropriate time through the usual communication channels.
