Hon. SKE Udeh-Okoye has called on the United States of America to investigate alleged political intimidation, harassment, forced disappearance and gross human right abuses of opposition figures in the country.

Udeh-Okoye who played host to officials from the US embassy on Wednesday, accused the All Progressives Congress, APC-led federal government of harassing opposition members in the country.

He submitted his petition to the US team led by Mr. Franz Seitz, the political officer of US embassy, adding that he has submitted similar petition to the ambassadors of UK and Germany in Nigeria.

According to a release by the Press Secretary of the PDP national youth leader, Mr. Okah Ewah Edede, the quest was “to get the international community to exert pressure on the APC-led federal government of President Muhammadu Buhari and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to conduct free, fair and credible elections in 2019 and to respect the rule-of-law”.


According to the release, the US government’s representative assured the PDP national youth leader that the White House will look into the merits of the petition and act accordingly.

On August 30, 2018, the PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, transmitted a petition to British Prime Minister, Theresa May and German Chancellor Angela Merkel accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to ‘persecute’ opposition leaders in the country.

Reacting, the APC berated Secondus and the PDP, noting “he took the internal matters of the country’s politics to the international scene by writing letters to various international organizations“

Nigeria is a sovereign state, this childish attitude of pdp is preposterous. I do support credible elections and respect for Human Rights which I believe is been uphold by pmb regime. Pdp should stop been paranoid.

Good

This one's are typical Olodos...

Until Nigerians learn they have no friends or saviours in Washington or London. I mean don't you people thunk at all. You write letters to people who enslave your people, colonized your country and who still find ways of controlling your country via neocolonisation, to come save you.

Okay, Jesus is white, right?

How?

Whoever that is advising these political jobbers to keep writing the international communities thinking they will come and conduct the 2019 election needs their brain examined.

A lot of people will commit suicide after 2019 election when INEC finally declares pmb the winner.

I wonder why Israel was not also petitioned?

What a disregard by PDP.

Apc and failure

Failing was in 2015 to 2016,they've fell since last year

Forget political parties, I feel very bad for those who continue to vote for corrupt politicians without getting anything in return , not even 1000 naira. Year 2015, 2016 and 2017 was very bad due to recession caused by massive corruption and looting by some rogue politicians. Election is coming ,please vote with sense, forget what you see on news, twitter, Facebook and news. If your governor, senator or any politician is not doing anything in your area, hood, street, State, owe civil servant, teachers, workers salaries and they are telling stories, vote them out.

see how Ati.ku plus OBItuary don useless our yoots..When do u see Republican/ Democrat yoots report themselves to Uk,Nig,Ger Ambassadors? Spit

Zombiefied clown at that.

This is the reason why I said PDP need more 12 years to remain in opposition so that they can learn proper governance and strategic politics. 2003,2007,2011 PDP were intimidating opposition party with every means including guns. But the opposition parties keep on strategizing before they finally succeeded.

Is the youth leader born after 2011 not to have known the grandmaster of intimidation?
