The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday rebuked the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, for condemning the Buhari government and the Department of State Services (DSS) over last Friday’s court invasion.

Recall that DSS operatives on Friday re-arrested Omoyele Sowore, convener of RevolutionNow campaign, a situation that has generated local and international criticisms.

In a statement Sunday night, Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC National Publicity Secretary, said Atiku and the PDP chose to present and spread concocted alternative facts and lies on the incident.

It said the presidency has clarified that the DSS does not necessarily need the president’s permission in all cases to carry out its essential and constitutional responsibilities.“Whether Sowore flouted any of his bail conditions or staged the incident in court is another matter which the court and the prosecuting agency should address”, APC stated.

“Atiku, in his horrid statement particularly, accused the DSS of attacking the presiding judge among other lies being chorused by the PDP and their hirelings. Documentary evidence such as videos and pictures have shown that the tales are a complete ruse until anyone is able to present contrary evidence.

"If Atiku’s intervention was sincere, having realized the truth, he has not deemed it proper to apologise to Nigerians for misinforming them on the incident. Instead, he hangs shamelessly on his lies. A commentator has correctly described Atiku as “the king of the bandwagon”.

“The PDP and Atiku, in their dubious attempt at painting the APC government bad by all means, have chosen to exercise no restraint whatsoever in spreading falsehood. We would continue to reiterate the need for Nigerians to be wary of these people who are bent on bringing our country down.

“The APC, therefore, unequivocally rejects the inciting messages and criminal antics of some individuals and partisans who have embarked on a campaign of calumny against this administration and are calling for a forceful takeover of government. They are cowards and enemies of Nigeria.

“We call on Nigerians to look at the issue of Sowore’s arrest and subsequent trial dispassionately and devoid of the skewed narratives and sentiments being propagated by the likes of Atiku and PDP.

“Sowore contested and woefully lost the 2019 presidential election, garnering a meagre 33,953 votes compared to the winner, President Muhammadu Buhari, who polled over 15 million votes. He left the country afterwards and held talks, with pictures to prove, with another wanted secessionist. He returned to the country and openly threatened to lead a violent revolution against a democratically elected government.

“Our laws are clear on treason and Nigerians would expect decisive actions from our law enforcement agencies and government. Any attempt to truncate our democracy and threaten our collective peace and safety must and will be resisted using the full weight and instrumentalities of the law.”

This party will turn Nigeria to one party system

Atiku of PDP is President to about 3/8 of Nigerian Electorates. Democracy authorises him to keep nurturing them till the next Election.

APC means Attack people Congress.. No development in this country, no new jobs, no power or security, roads are still in comatose. But once you mention illegality, disobeying court orders, corruption, narcistic tendencies, and nepotism... this regime comes first..

"If falsehood climbs up,the truth always remains at the bottom waiting for it to climb down."

Liars blasting those fighting their lying nature. APC is fiĺlled with pathologic liars & irredeemable humanity.It's most unfortunate these idiots graced our national life.

APC can lie!!!!

...divisive position

Hmm...when what you will eat has made you so blind to the truth

People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.

Assata Shakur,

Since they came into power,all they do is attacking opposition ,touring the world,borrowing money and stealing it for their personal use.. I'm not surprised anyways..

Atiku should offer a constructive criticism rather than destructive so that Nigerians won't grow the seeds of its own destruction .

APC is a devilish Patty,could it be PDP doing all this ehhh,this satanic party will call for press conference everyday. You people should enjoy while it last

Party of rogues


Where are the CHANGEs your fraudulent party promised?

Where is the STABLE POWER

Where are the MILLIONs JOBs

Foolish party with brainwashed supporters without clear future ambitions...

Somehow Atiku and PDP must be blamed.

It's alright. Discerning Nigerians know which of the tales flying around is near the truth.

Most foolish party ever

Buhari, DSS and APC keep missing the point, nobody cares about Sowore or his grieviances, the problem here is violating court order, arresting someone who just got bailed in the premesis of the court that bailed him

Buhari really thinks the president after him wouldnt violate court orders also or probes wont be initiated on him like it was done in the 80s by babangida



..

Government of impunity and recklessness

Janjawid party....not surprised

Nigeria is doomed

nigerians thought APC was the solution in the year 2015.. but now they know better

If Atiku’s intervention was sincere, having realized the truth, he has not deemed it proper to apologise to Nigerians for misinforming them on the incident. Instead, he hangs shamelessly on his lies. A commentator has correctly described Atiku as “the king of the bandwagon”.

What do you expect from a looter and his supporters that are wailing because the corrupt money they depend on is no longer forthcoming.
Having a legitimate work is a no no for them.
They rather sit down on a roundtable to discuss how to loot our national treasury.
Criminals are in severe pains.
Una just dey start.....
Losers.

axglide:

No mind them. DSS explain, Falana explain, eye witness explain and even Presidency explain. Sore losers all of them.

No mind dem jor.
Na hatred for their country and President go kill all the enemies of Nigeria that want no peace in this country.
All they are after is violence, unrest and war.
God pass dem.

This Government should understand that people are very swift to castigate them. It is glaring to the world that most of the way this incident was reported isn't the way it played out. It's just a pity that leaders like Atiku didn't take proper precaution before commenting. The DSS is an apparatus of Government which you Atiku was once a part Head of as VP; no matter all the wrong doings of the american security services under Trump, you'll never hear Hillary castigate them or say anything rueful, but i guess Atiku is just a bad and sore loser who might never be a good fit for a President. Even baba Soyinka join the bandwagon. Nonsense.

DSS explain, Falana explain, eye witness explain and even Presidency explain. Sore losers all of them plus the so called "Day of Rage - Revolution Convener"

I love APC for this their kind of gomement I warned Sowore but he wouldn’t listen, he said he was ready to enjoy the pleasure in the pain. I will not pity him. Same goes to Ngeneukwuenu, BBQ guy, one day the system you support will come for u. And people will start showing mercy.

My own problem is that the Agbada wearing brother up there should just go to the other room and collect his Dictators Regalia. He should also abolish every political and most especially The National Assembly. We prefer he comes out like he should, instead playing around!

Who is talking? Who is castigating?

Siooor!

Birds of the same feathers.

Nigeria is now a boxing ring, where they used to settle scores lol


Some people voted for retaliation because of 16 years rule, while others voted for a better Nigeria.

which kain country be this self?? chai!!! I make mistake come here

Apparently, the Apc government are filled with deceite individuals who dont have any thing to say concerning the state of the nation rather than blaming their opponent at every slightest moments they get.. What did we do to deserve all this O lord.. The actions of the secrets police has had international organizations condeming and rebuking such assault on democracy, and the only respond u could make is attacking the PDP.. Useles baunch of cows.
