PDP Releases Statement On Dokpesi’s Arrest by londonrivals: 8:14pm On Dec 01, 2015
Read the press statement after the cut...

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemns in its entirety, the arrest of media mogul, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi and other opposition elements by the APC-led Federal Government.

The party also alerted that it has been made aware that more notable PDP leaders have similarly been listed for arrest over unproven allegations pursuant to the plot by the APC to cow and silence opposition in the country.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on Tuesday said the military style of pronouncement of guilt on Chief Dokpesi before any fair hearing, betrays the fact that he is a victim of political persecution and mob trial by the APC government because of his association with the PDP.

“While the PDP is not against the war against corruption, we insist that the crusade must be carried out within the limits of the law and not as a guise to persecute and torture opposition elements in the country.

“Our fear is that with the pronouncement of guilt even without being giving the opportunity within his rights as a citizen to state his own side of the story, the President Buhari-led government is sidestepping the laws to ensure that Chief Dokpesi does not get justice in the court, a plot which they want to extend to other PDP leaders.

“The PDP therefore demands an open and public trial of all those arrested so that all issues and charges against them as well as their defence therein would also be in the public domain. We demand a proper investigation and lawful prosecution instead of the reprehensible resort to outright political persecution, which can only have a place in a military regime.

“We also note that this development may not be unconnected with the planned onslaught against the media, following its commitment in holding this dictatorial regime accountable since it took office.

“Finally, we call on the international community and rights bodies worldwide to note the growing impunity and gross violation of human rights by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government tailored to decimate the opposition and cow the media in Nigeria.

Signed:

Chief Olisa Metuh
National Publicity Secretary

PDP is very predictable with its victim mentality! A useless party that brought sixteen years of pains, sorrows and sufferings on Nigerians.

How has Dokpesi been pronounced guilty by being arrested by EFCC?

Even, kids know that arresting suspects comes before prosecution. And so far, not a single one of those arrested has been held beyond the time limit stipulated by the nation's law. So, where is the lawlessness or persecution you cry of?

PDP and its sympathizers should understand that crying wolves and releasing statements calling on international community will not help them a bit. Not when available evidences do not prove anything against the government.

To be sincere, some of us are even angry that the nation's laws are preventing PMB/DSS/EFCC/ICPC from packing all the Dasukis, Yugudas, Bafarawas, Dokpesis, Oritsejafors, Diezanis and locking them up in jail for as long as necessary. They all trampled upon our constitution in sabotaging the economy and security of the country, yet they expect the same law to protect them from being brought to justice!

I wish Buhari was a military head of state as we speak.

There is a thin line between pursuit of justice and perceived political witch-hunt and Buhari should thread carefully by getting justice disseminated speedily through arraignment and prosecution in the court of law of persons charged with corruption as anything short of that will spell otherwise.

Attention:
PDP and their supporters especially this Chukwudi44 of a man has lost their senses and need the attention of a psychiatrist before it get out of hands.
How can you support the fight against corruption and at the same time opposed the arrest of an alleged corrupt persons?.. Classical insanity!
@Chukwudi44 if you don't change your mentality you may develop a high blood pressure because of hatred and bitterness before 2019.
Be well guided!

Buhari repeating the same mistake all over again as a civilian President like when he was the military head state , won't be surprised if his fellow Hausa/Fulani kinsmen in the Military overthrow him again through a coup d'etat.

The source said investigators were “suspicious that the money was passed to him as payment for the damaging documentaries and campaigns his station ran on Buhari, Tinubu and Amaechi.

It is quite unfortunate that you are using the name of a very intelligent lady. You must be a coward to use a female moniker when you are a man

You do not possess one hundredth of her decorum or intelligence.

By the time you are done wailing, doctors will need to replace your voice box.

@ PDP

A new Sheriff in town!!

Stealing is NOW corruption. Get used to it!

With the sort of victim mentality that oozes from the PDP camp almost on a daily basis, i doubt if they would be able to make any meaningful difference as the main opposition party because their rants are starting to become borderline comedy.

PDP's wailing makes me sick! Urgh! Must it always be about politics? Anyone that's arrested is a political witch hunt. Kai! What's Dokpesi's business with arms procurement that 2.1 Billion Naira will be transferred to his account? May Dasuki Sambo continue to sing like a canary bird..... I bet u even the "Hero" won't be exempted and he'll go in for it. Woe betide anyone who defends those who turned our commonwealth to their personal property and turned the CBN to a piggy bank where orders are made for cash withdrawal to allies and cronies
