PDP, Fayose Accuse FG Of Arbitrariness by Danjuma827(m): 3:40am On Jul 18, 2015
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned what it called the invasion of the residence of the former National Security Adviser (NSA) Col. Sambo Dasuki, by security operatives. National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, in a statement, said that he paid a visit to the residence of the former NSA yesterday, but was prevented from gaining entry by men of the Department of State Security, described the action of the security operatives as unconstitutional. Metuh further alerted the nation that the nation is regressing from democracy to full blown dictatorship. Metuh said: “I came into Abuja yesterday because I read the situation about the invasion of the house of the former NSA and his detention and house arrest. So, I drove to his house as a personal friend to see him and to find out what is happening. Then about seven or eight security operatives came out and said that I cannot see him because the house is under security watch. And I asked them, security watch in terms of treason or terrorism? “And they said they are not in a position to say. “The truth is that Nigerians are getting scared. They voted for the President and he was duly elected. And now he’s the father of the nation, he’s the father of everyone. He’s not serving any other interest. But there are certain activities by some of his aides and people around him; it’s like they are taking us back to the military era where we were coming from.
“The last time this happened was under the military. There has never been any situation where people will be held against their will. It is completely against his fundamental human rights. And we should be careful here because this was how it started in Zimbabwe and other countries. Before you know it we have a dictatorship. You cannot scare us.” The PDP national publicity scribe further claimed that stalwarts of the main opposition party and aides of former President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan were targets of persecution by the President Buhari administration. Meanwhile, the party has felicitated with the Muslim community and all Nigerians on this years Eid-el-Fitr celebrations, urging them to use the occasion to mark the beginning of a new era of love, righteousness and brotherliness among them­ selves as commanded by Allah.
In the same vein, Ekiti State governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose also condemned the invasion and said, “Persecution of Peoples Demo­ cratic Party (PDP) stalwarts and others perceived as opposition to the All Pro­ gressives Congress (APC) Federal government is an ominous sign of imminent return of dictatorship and draconian rule in Nigeria.” The governor, who said he still believes that the invasion of Col. Dasuki homes may not have the backing of President Mo­ hammadu Buhari, said; “If this is being done by some people to please the president, he should check the excesses of those behind it and call them to other because overzealousness by those that are close to the president is inimical to the image of the government.” In a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti yesterday his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said he was sad that democracy is already being put on trial, less than two months that President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office, adding that, “Rather than invading homes of Nigerians and putting people under house arrest, the government should invade Boko Haram territories and arrest the in­ surgents.”
