The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has reacted to the arrest of one of its Senators, Rafiu Ibrahim on allegations of murder. Below is a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbodiyan;
"The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) demands the immediate and unconditional release of our Kwara South Senatorial candidate, Senator Rufai Ibrahim and other members of the party framed-up, arrested and detained by the Police in Kwara state.
The PDP holds that the continued detention of Senator Ibrahim on the eve of a crucial election, in which he is a lead contender, is completely provocative.
The party also cautions the police to stop harassing, arresting and detaining its members on flimsy charges, as such will directly pitch security agents against the people in a manner that might spark off violent resistance with regrettable consequences.
This resort to police brutality by the APC is a script by a losing team which seeks to introduce violence and use the police to execute their rigging plots.
Nigerians will recall our vehement protest against the deployment of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s lackey, CP Kayode Egbetokun, as Kwara state Commissioner of Police, wherein we alerted of plots by the APC to use him to incite the people, cause pandemonium and pave the way for outright rigging in favour of President Buhari and all other candidates on the platform of APC.
However, PDP, in clear terms cautions the APC and their compromised security agents that nobody has the monopoly of show of strength. Our members in Kwara or any other state, for that matter, are law-abiding but will never allow themselves to be subjugated by anybody, particularly in this critical electoral process.
In this regard, our members should immediately activate their individual and collective defence mechanisms by using every legitimate means available, to resist the aggression of the APC and their compromised security agents as well as dismantle their rigging machineries.
We know that the plan of the APC is to stop our members from accessing their polling centres. Our members should deploy all legitimate means, including lawful self-preservation strategies and tactical manoeuvres to beat the aggressions, arrive at their respective polling centres and exercise their voting rights accordingly.
The PDP, therefore, calls on the Inspector General of Police to immediately call CP Kayode Egbetokun to order. We also call on lovers of democracy all over the world to rise in condemnation of this wicked harassment and arrest of our members ahead of a crucial election."
Sorry PDP, Lifeless FC is really desperate SMH. I even reported the arrest of your stalwarts in Kogi to INEC but they seem to have partisan people in INEC to report to SMH. To PDP, weeping might endure for a night, but joy (Monday) comes in the morning. I rest my case.
frommee0: Musa Imoran, a suspected member of an armed robbery gang, behind series of attacks in Ajegunle and environs, has been arrested.
Imoran and his gang had allegedly gone out on a robbing spree on February 19, snatching phones and bags along Agugu street, Ajegunle, when he met his Waterloo.
He was arrested with one pump action gun with 20 unexpended cartridges, two pairs of hand gloves, two chains and belts. .
He later led the operatives to their armoury where an additional pump action rifle with 30 unexpended cartridges, one AK-47 magazine with 24 live ammunition 100 rounds of Beretta Pistol ammunition were recovered.
nappyboy1: To think that the entire country is backing their candidates based on ethnicity not on merit is absolutely absurd. The ideal leader not ruler is one who is not partisan to any ethnicity but sees everyone as his countrymen and not ethnically inclined. I wish the best for my country and I wish the mentality of all; igbo,Hausa,Yoruba...for once can be united for a common goal.
That will not be happening in a million years bro especially due to the "educated" slaves, abo.k.is and zom.b.ies. Just do well for your children and don't born them in this shi.t.hole. I have said my own.
propsvila: You see North and South West they have something in common, they have the highest number of poor people yet they are busy clapping for their oppressors.
A very bad and untreatable case of Stockholm syndrome and amnesia SMH.
Tundey606: Useless tinubu and his slaves still supporting buhari president of 100 cows mad man wanted to become President just because of his poorest ... anyone who voting for him his generation will never have peace
Racoon: And some of our SW brethren are yet to agree that this president is a monster that was unleashed to destroy the Nigerian nation? Intellectual sophistication should translate to political sagacity.
Unfortunately, they will not hear like the lost dog that refused to hear the hunter's whistle SMH.
Those two people just finished Lifeless FC, bikonu lol . Lifeless FC to win again? God forbid!, Agbedo!, Eewo!, Tufiakwa! Affliction must and will not rise a second time In Jesus Name AMEN, Ase, Ise.
yemi1504: Maybe he was banned by the partisan mod or the mod that likes snake like I was just banned few minutes ago by one or both of them. He gave up but I will never give up. Darkness is on borrowed time and is only here for a while, the light (Atiku) will be here on Monday SMH.
Why I am not seeing that Bungalow moniker that just reported my post to the mod that likes snake? Lol . Or have I been banned again?
Lol, keep reporting, I will keep on opening accounts here and be like a stuffed fish in your throats! until you are tired of banning me. I.d.iots!
Hotfreeze: Which daylight robbery? Why didn't you Okoros go and support Eleka too?
The slaves are the Nyamiris who have been supporting Pdp since 1999 and couldn't get a common bridge from PDP.
I look like Ipob to you abi? Ode, oponu, alainironu ara Galatia. I am a son of Osun State, the home of Omoluabis and Home of strong men in Ogedengbe not cowards like the other "educated" slaves States and you will get a shocker and see reality on Monday from my State, dolts!
Hotfreeze: Some ignorant people actually believe Atiku would win Ogun state
Atiku will hopefully win in Osun State, the State of Omoluabis, after the daylight robbery they committed there smh except my Osun State people love suffering, and were okay with the daylight robbery and have become "educated" slaves. I will hope that my Osun State people are not what I just mentioned in the preceding sentence. I have said my own.
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has raised alarm over an alleged plot by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC and some members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC to rig elections in Ekiti State on Saturday.
Fayose stated that there a plot by the APC and some paid INEC officials to substitute Ward Result Sheets in some LGs in Ekiti.
Desperation by Lifeless FC smh. Why does Lifeless FC not try to rig the South East and South South where he will lose overwhelmingly and be spanked like a petulant child na? Rig and die, Rig and get the Gbagbo treatment, Rig and your second home is ICC (aside from the sure first home in Daura), so gbo Mr. Lifeless FC, akidanidani, oloriburuku.
orjisblog: Breaking News: Chelsea Hit With Transfer Ban, Read Full Story Below..
Chelsea have been banned from the transfer market for two windows after Fifa found them guilty of a serious and systemic breach of the rules regarding their dealings with foreign players under the age of 18.
The governing body announced the sanction on Friday at the end of a lengthy investigation into the club and how they have registered players at their academy over a number of years.
Fifa had looked into more than 100 player cases at Chelsea. Fifa said that the club had been found guilty of 29 breaches of Article 19 – the most serious infringements relating to the registration of minors and several others. Chelsea have been fined 600,000 Swiss francs (£460,000) and given 90 days to “regularise the situation of the minor players concerned”, which could involve them being forced to move on anyone brought to the club in contravention of the regulations.

The club have the right to appeal to Fifa and then to the court of arbitration for sport (Cas). It is possible they could delay their punishment until after this summer’s window via appeals, which can be time-consuming, meaning they would be free to make signings between the beginning of June and the end of August.
But the news is a body blow for Chelsea at a time when the manager, Maurizio Sarri, is clinging to his job, after a dismal sequence of results and having lost the confidence of the Stamford Bridge crowd, and the squad is in need of a make-over with doubts concerning the future of a host of players.
rusher14: SalamRushdie, you've been off Nairaland for a while now.
I guess your online presence isn't of importance anymore.
Maybe he was banned by the partisan mod or the mod that likes snake like I was just banned few minutes ago by one or both of them. He gave up but I will never give up. Darkness is on borrowed time and is only here for a while, the light (Atiku) will be here on Monday SMH.
KikBuhari2Daura: Yesterday Reno Omokri raised an alarm that INEC was secretly planning staggered elections and as usual those involved denied it until INEC late last night admitted that it might not be able to conduct elections in some places.
According to a new tweet by Reno Omokri the plan by the cabal is to see if H.E Atiku Abubakar wins, then use these areas to compensate for Buhari.
The game plan of the cabal in the presidency is a dangerous one as the international community has warned that it will not recognize the outcome of any election which fall short of the 2015 standard.
Atiku Abubakar has encouraged All Nigerians to come out and by vote this Saturday. Virtually all the poll conducted in Nigeria by both PDP and APC followers points to a clear victory for Atiku and the PDP
Crimecity: Despite the huge campaign against vote-buying by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the National Orientation Agency (NOA), some Nigerians, across political party divides, are yet to desist from the illegal act.
According to a footage trending on social media, some northerners were spotted as at yesterday, selling their votes for N500.
As at the time of filing this report, the location of dastardly act is yet to be ascertained but from the footage and exchange, we can confirm that the act is pure vote buying.
The revenge of the abo.k.is, too much poverty and extreme poverty in the land.
To my unborn children, I owe it to you not to have you born in this shi.t.hole country because of her citizens SMH. I will abide by that promise So Help Me God AMEN.
Can you believe I was just banned for "insulting a tribe" on my votes projection post here lol. I have opened another Nairaland account lol, I will be their problem like stuffed fish in a throat lol! We can all guess who that partisan mod is, his name starts with M and ends with 4, Omo complete am, na you sabi lol or could it be the mod that likes snake? Just saying o. Emperor mods, well done o! SMH. No freedom of speech on Nairaland again smh, we are our problems in this country. I have said my own.
