The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has demanded the immediate release of the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, who was Tuesday morning arrested and detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The party said the arrest of its spokesperson was no surprise as the governing APC has “obviously not (been) comfortable with our stance on the confused state of the nation under their watch”.
The party, in a statement by its national secretary, Wale Oladipo, said the arrest of Mr. Metuh underscores the growing political intolerance in the country and the foisting of a police state which was last Wednesday underscored by the President and Commander-in-Chief himself, who ‘defended why a government in a democracy should flout constitutional provision and brazenly disobey court orders’.
PDP said it has “intelligence” that the arrest of its spokesperson, “is part of a larger script by the government to ensure that PDP wings are finally clipped in their mission to install a dictatorial one-party state in the country.
“The excesses of security agencies under this government, especially the Directorate of Security Services (DSS) and the EFCC, in abridging the human rights of PDP members have become worrisome and a threat to our democratic evolution.
“Nigerians and the international community will recall that on a number of occasions, the PDP, through its spokesman has been outspoken on some undemocratic proclivities being exhibited by the APC-led Federal Government in the last seven months.
“The PDP insists that for whatever reason Chief Metuh was arrested, his rights as a citizen under the law must not be trampled upon. We therefore demand (for) his immediate release and that due process of investigation and prosecution concerning him should be strictly adhered to.
“We state this because we have been made aware of top directives to break Chief Metuh and if possible poison him during his detention by the EFCC,” the party said.
The party said Mr. Metuh has, since his arrest at about 10 am, has been kept incommunicado, with his lawyers denied access to him.
The PDP also described the arrest of Mr. Metuh as the last straw that may break Nigeria’s democracy.
“We therefore forewarn the Federal Government and its agencies to save our democracy and forthwith release our National Publicity Secretary.
“We are also calling on the international community and well-meaning Nigerians to stand up for this democracy, which our party nurtured for 16 years and deepened to a level where the opposition, for the first time in our political history, had the opportunity to win in a general election,” the party said.http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/196253-pdp-accuses-efcc-of-plotting-to-poison-metuh.html

“Nigerians and the international community will recall that on a number of occasions, the PDP, through its spokesman has been outspoken on some undemocratic proclivities being exhibited by the APC-led Federal Government in the last seven months.

See Mumu reasoning! So because, he was "outspoken" against the government of the day, he shouldn't be investigated or questioned over an allegation of theft?

So Shekau of Boko haram who has equally been "outspoken" against the government should also be left? *warp*

So it was an arrest afterall. I thought the party said in an earlier statement that it was a "Friendly Invite".
---
The different dimensions of PDP wailing will never cease to amaze me. They threaten, they blackmail, they insult, they accuse Baba of tyranny and dictatorship - all in a bid to deflect from the reality of prosecution. Now, they are accusing Baba of attempting to poison Metuh.
---
Are they not aware that Metuh is more useful to Baba alive. How will we recover our N1.4bn if Metuh is dead?

If the poison will make the alleged thief paybackourmoney let them poison Metuh. All yam eaters should be poisoned and made to pay back our stolen money. PDP should burie their corrupt heads in shame! !!

So Efcc wan poison NURSE METUH?

And so what na small thing now

So Efcc wan poison NURSE METUH? hehe fidifi

I can bet my left nyash that Bros J personally has a hand in this case........

“Again, we have incontrovertible evidence that the man who is PDP Publicity Secretary worked assiduously against the presidential candidate of the PDP, former President Goodluck Jonathan, in the last election in order to requite the ex-President for rejecting him as Director of Publicity of the Presidential Campaign which was given to Femi Kayode, a development which came after Metuh had squandered a whooping sum of 450 million naira media fund earlier approved for the office of PDP Publicity Secretary by President Jonathan.

No further comment

Shame on PDP

Their corrupt practices is worst than all forms of poison put together.

God will forgive all that contributed in wrecking this country.

OgbeifunErom:
PDP and their IPOB associates should let the law take its course.

The case is before the EFCC and he will be charged to court as soon as they finish questioning

The era of manipulation through the press is GONE. Nigerians are fully aligned with the anti-corruption drive by the Buhari Administration

ask your bubu to probe everyone young man, this is a plot ahead of 2019, to destroy key members of PDP, for your information the probes are fronted by strong APC political class, Buhari has little or no influence

Cry cry PDP. It's funny how the useless party cry of witch hunting and persecution in the face of clear evidence. Funnier that they even think the International Community will look their side for a second!

For the upteenth time, PMB was elected on the promise to fight corruption head-on and he is doing just that. Abi una no wan make he deliver his campaign promise again?

When the president said "people only need to fear the consequences of their action" during his Independence Day message to Nigeria, these looters must have thought he was merely boasting.

By the time we're through with you guys, una go see money for road, una no go pick am.
