PDP Reacts To Arrest Of Senator Rafiu Ibrahim by PoliticsNigeria: 11:51am On Feb 22, 2019
@POLITICSNGR

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has reacted to the arrest of one of its Senators, Rafiu Ibrahim on allegations of murder. Below is a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbodiyan;

"The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) demands the immediate and unconditional release of our Kwara South Senatorial candidate, Senator Rufai Ibrahim and other members of the party framed-up, arrested and detained by the Police in Kwara state.

The PDP holds that the continued detention of Senator Ibrahim on the eve of a crucial election, in which he is a lead contender, is completely provocative.

The party also cautions the police to stop harassing, arresting and detaining its members on flimsy charges, as such will directly pitch security agents against the people in a manner that might spark off violent resistance with regrettable consequences.

This resort to police brutality by the APC is a script by a losing team which seeks to introduce violence and use the police to execute their rigging plots.

Nigerians will recall our vehement protest against the deployment of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s lackey, CP Kayode Egbetokun, as Kwara state Commissioner of Police, wherein we alerted of plots by the APC to use him to incite the people, cause pandemonium and pave the way for outright rigging in favour of President Buhari and all other candidates on the platform of APC.

However, PDP, in clear terms cautions the APC and their compromised security agents that nobody has the monopoly of show of strength. Our members in Kwara or any other state, for that matter, are law-abiding but will never allow themselves to be subjugated by anybody, particularly in this critical electoral process.

In this regard, our members should immediately activate their individual and collective defence mechanisms by using every legitimate means available, to resist the aggression of the APC and their compromised security agents as well as dismantle their rigging machineries.

We know that the plan of the APC is to stop our members from accessing their polling centres. Our members should deploy all legitimate means, including lawful self-preservation strategies and tactical manoeuvres to beat the aggressions, arrive at their respective polling centres and exercise their voting rights accordingly.

The PDP, therefore, calls on the Inspector General of Police to immediately call CP Kayode Egbetokun to order. We also call on lovers of democracy all over the world to rise in condemnation of this wicked harassment and arrest of our members ahead of a crucial election."

You do not arrest an opposition politician or any politician for that matter on the eve of an election regardless of the alleged crime except the crime is an ongoing violent type. If it is murder, the Govt can prosecute him from next week. Nothing is running away.

The Govt should please behave

Really?

But it is okay to disqualify contestants on the eve of elections?

The nass contestants disqualified in imo are not politicians abi? So the law can't wait to disqualify them after election since nothing is running away abi?

When it favours them, it is rule of law, otherwise, it is political witchunting. Which kind people be dis sef?

What sort of a sillly question is this? What is the relationship?

The disqualification was from a non partisan body, the Court.

By the way, even though those decisions were in the legal sphere and may serve to force political parties to behave within norms, I personally like I have stated here before am not really OK with the idea of disenfranchising some people.

However, it will be completely different if it is the Govt or any of her agency that does so

You have time to reply wailers bro.
They are better left alone in their misery.
They know how to twist any news to the way it suits their brain.
We wonder how they will be running loose if it was an APC politician arrested for murder!
Pathetic souls they are.

Rafiu Ibrahim ordered the attack on Lola Ashiru’s campaign at Ojoku. That attack led to the death of 2 APC supporters with so many others injured. He should be prosecuted for the murder of those two innocent guys.
