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.” http://sunnewsonline.com/new/pdp-fayose-accuse-fg-of-arbitrariness/ |
