and well-meaning Nigerians to stand up for this democracy, which our party nurtured for 16 years and deepened

theV0ice:


Of course I know there are VERY BIG ROGUES in APC. Why didn't GEJ & PDP start hunting them when they could? Why didn't they try to help us recover these monies?

Were they so wicked and unfeeling? Or maybe because they too were busy frying, roasting and boiling our yams?

If Buhari doesn't do it now, in 2019, we'll push Buhari out and the new guys can witchhunt the APC thieves

IlajeGal1:
Following the arrest of the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) , Chief Olisa Metuh, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the party's national leadership has demanded his immediate release.This was contained in a statement by Prof. Adewale Oladipo, the National Secretary of the party.

Read statement below:

This development, which did not come to us as a surprise given series of threats to our party’s spokesman by the APC and the Federal Government, who are obviously not comfortable with our stance on the confused state of the nation under their watch, is a continuation of APC’s grand design to silence and decimate the PDP.

The arrest of Chief Metuh today underscores the growing political intolerance in our 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.

This onslaught against our spokesman, according to intelligence available to us 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. Chief Metuh, has since his arrest at about 10 am, has been kept incommunicado, with his lawyers denied access to him.

The PDP declares the arrest of our spokesman as the last straw that may break our 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.

You are making sense, i like your line of argument

doctokwus:
It didn't break with the arrest of Dasuki who as NSA has a load of top secret info to divulge,its with a common thief and noise maker, Olisa Metuh it wud break!
I am embarrassed on behalf of d parents of the man that made that statement.

ZeroTolerance:

Where is the evidence that any money was shared? They just arrest people and start releasing statements to the media without allowing the other party to tell his own part of the story and you zombies swallow everything hool, line and sinker! Is this a surprised that this happened few days after Metuh called Buhari a tyrant and was warned before he repeated it again?

TonyeBarcanista:

Oga Secretary, we are standing up for democracy, hence, our position that Olisa Metuh should get a team of brilliant lawyers and explain all what he knows to the investigators. If the investigator aren't satisfied, he should be prepared to explain himself to the judge. There is no two ways about this. This is a democratic process.


However, if he knows within Himself that he ate our scarce resources(yams), he should save us time by surrendering his yams and plead for forgiveness. But whether or not he agrees, the law must take its course.



God Bless Nigeria

If your father ate our yams &he's not been reached by EFCC
Tell him Cancer/wheelchair options have been used already

When dasuki was first arrested, didn't you ask for the evidence. Ask yourself how buhari can be involved in the scandal. He is an opposition as at that time. Wise up biko. In due time i am sure you will get the evidence you need. Dasuki should tell us how much he gave adesina.and see if he would be arrested or not

Buhari who accepted jeeps and money and Tinubu who accepted N9m, have they been arrested? Who sponsored APC's campaign and how did they earn d money?

Tinubu's company vintage press (the nation newspaper) collected 9m. As at the time they collected it, it was for compensation of their seized newspaper.last time I checked, they have returned it.and We all know how that story goes. And jeep you are saying Buhari collected was from who? If dasuki is sure Buhari collected out of it then he should give details. And also he should say it in front of the judge. leave propaganda a and sentiments apart. You know Buhari did not collect any jeep.


P.s I'm not a fan of APC or PDP. why I'm so angry at dasuki and GEJ right now is because we are suffering so much in this country. Yet they are sharing our money. They'll be calling trillion like they are calling thousand. Other corrupt politicians need a scape goat and I think we got ourself 1. Malam dasuki.

Mboi:

You see, we have to be fair in our reasoning and judgement. Do u know why Dokpesi collected the money he got from Dasuki? Tinubu's Nation newspaper collected N9m for compensation from money meant to buy arms and Dokpesi received N2.1b for payment of all campaign jingles ran in AIT and Ray Power from same money meant for arms purchase but Dokpesi was arrested on the ground that he took share of the money meant for arms irrespective of reason why it was collected while Tinubu was not arrested. Bros tell me clearly the diff BTW the two and why Tinubu will not be arrested too.
A lopsided fight for corruption can't take Nigeria anywhere.
Buhari said he will reduce presidential fleet and cut down spendings in Aso rock, let me ask you: why is he spending N3.2b for BMW cars for presidency without stating clearly how many of them he'll buy? How much did he budget for feeding in Aso Rock and how much did GEJ budget for feeding last year,why didn't he reduce it. What are they renovating in a house with N325m and so on.
I keep asking and you should answer me, who sponsored APC's campaign and how did they earn the money? PDP & APC have same thieves.

hary4luv:



I decided to reply you cus I've come to understand that sentimental attachment has eaten deep into some folks that it now blinds their sense of judgment. If you carefully read the post you would have known that Olisa Metuh was denied access to his lawyers and all efforts to reach him has remained abortive.
Secondly, am a security personnel so am in a better position to tell u that ds present administration is tyrannical in nature. Whether you like it or not APC is clearly witch hunting in the name of fighting corruption.

banki:


You call buhari a tyrant

But you admitted paying compensation for siezing newspapers that published stories that you didn't like,

You caged journalists and expelled a reporter that did not write what you wanted yet you call buhari a terrosist...

You have no moral standing to even critisize this government, also if dokpesi collected money from the ONSA where in this world do you begin to justify the money meant for arms to be used by a politcal party

Soldiers were sent to theier early graves because of your useless leaders and you are shamelessly politicising this act of evil

theV0ice:




You're a very innocent guy.

Can you tell me if he even tried to investigate or start any case?

Why will he when he through Dasuki was signing N4.6B to Bafarawa for prayers

If he had conscience, he should have helped us recover loits and not allowed Dasuki to turn CBN to his personal ATM

saintkel:
Bros abeg how much dey ur account, e b like say bubu don share u some

theV0ice:




Haba!! I simply feel angry at the impunity of the average politician whether in APC or PDP.....

saintkel:
now u r talking bro, all of them r d same, PDP or APC. Dat bydway, so hw much dey ur account now, e be like say u go do small transfer
