Press Statement

PDP Worries Over Alleged Plot to Arrest Obasanjo

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is alarmed by the revelation of former President Olusegun Obasanjo that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government is plotting to arrest him on trumped up charges and detain him indefinitely.

PDP says the revelation coming from a Nigerian of Chief Obasanjo status is terrifying as it has heightened the tension in the polity and confirmed our fears that our dear nation has descended into a police state where any Nigerian, who holds a divergent view to President Muhammodu Buhari 2019 re-election bid, becomes endangered.

The alarm by Chief Obasanjo has further shown that the PDP has not been crying wolf regarding the plots by the APC Federal Government to frame, arrest, detain and arraign political opponents of the APC, including regular Nigerians, for holding or canvasing opinions that are divergent to the interest of those in power.

We invite Nigerians to note the travails faced by perceived opponents of Buhari Presidency including Senate President Bukola Saraki, Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, Senators Shehu Sani and Dino Melaye, who had raised similar alarms in the past.

The PDP urges Nigerians to note how APC controlled security forces, on Wednesday, arrested and detained opposition members in Ogun state, including a member of the House of Assembly, Hon Adebiyi Adeleye, who were going about their legitimate activities, only to tag them as cultists.

The PDP condemns APC’s resort to persecution, intimidation, harassment and framing of our members, as well as dissenting voices, just to suppress the opposition ahead of the 2019 election.

PDP wants the APC and Buhari Presidency to note that no amount of coercion, intimidation and illegal arrests will alter the determination of Nigerians to vote out the dysfunctional APC and rescue our nation from the shackles of the Buhari Presidency and its misrule, come 2019.

I'd like to ask a question : How worried was PDP couple of years ago when the same Obasanjo accused them of putting trained snippers on his trail?

Let me guess.. They just realised how much they love the old fox I suppose.

Pele!

Since OBJ is no longer a part of PDP , why are they still wailing ??

We want fight against corruption, but the same idiots from one land are the one licking OBJ's balls now ,

Several of them suggested the Ghana treatment of leaders / elders in the past, but the same people are still licking arses


If OBJ has done something wrong, his arrest is legal and that of Saraki and any other bastard who has been a headache for Nigeria


And for the Police or DSS agent who leaked the arrest to OBJ , May thunder locate and arrest you with stroke

Oh my God!

All these lazy pigs no go kee person

PDP been asslicking ppl of questionable character since 1960
Just imagine them

They should not worry about him. He tore his membership card in a show just to sway votes for Buhari. Today that leopard has turned around to devour him.

OBJ deserve all he is getting.So no reasonsble person should be worried about these criminal Ex-PDP leaders.After all OBJ tore his membership card.

Why should PDP be worried??...I thought Obasanjo tore his membership card years ago?..

I am happy with what is happening to Obasanjo as well as all who fought Jonathan then..so wetin concern me sef ..

by the way qnd true to type, Yorubas who were hitherto so proud of him when he was attacking Jonathan and supporting buhari then as well as using him to brag on how Yorubas were 'sophisticated' since chickens grew teeth have all thrown him under the bus..

Such a shame.

Worry fire!

Someone who openly humiliated them at different bus stops, na so PDP like OBJ reach?

Simple: take advantage of the noise, issa allowed.

Is PDP not confused when PMB started probing GEJ government same PDP said why selective probing, that OBJ should be probed that he institutionalized corruption in Nigeria. Now same PDP is saying OBJ is not corrupt, if the government arrest sponsors of fulani killings and Shekau of Boko Haram tomorrow PDP will shout witch hunting. Watch when OBJ will start criticising PDP and it's presume presidential candidate Atiku they'll come back to this forum to tell us how corrupt and evil OBJ is that in saner clime he'll be in jail for his crime. I remember when OBJ said Nigerians should not accept PDP apology and he was abused by all manner of PDP individuals.
