The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced to the National
Peace Committee (NPC) and the international community that President
Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have declared
and launched a war on the opposition.
Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP National Publicity Secretary, in a statement
Friday night, alleged that President Buhari has unleashed the state
security apparatus of the police, the military and the Directorate of
State Services (DSS), who are hounding, beating up, arresting, detaining
and shooting PDP leaders in various states.
He said: “In Osun, all our key leaders have been arrested on flimsy
charges. Our leaders are being harassed and detained in Rivers, Kano and
other states.
“In Kogi, our leaders, including former Governor Ibrahim Idris was
manhandled, our state campaign spokesperson, Mr. Austin Okai, was
abducted, while the National Publicity Secretary and Director of Media
and Publicity of the Campaign, Kola Ologbondiyan, narrowly escaped
abduction.
“All our leaders in Kogi are under siege. The whereabouts of Senator
Dino Melaye, a senatorial candidate, is uncertain since the last siege
on him by security agents. The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed
Adamu has refused to dismantle the siege by Government House Police
command in Banda.
“We call on the Peace Committee and the international committee to
note that President Buhari and APC have breached all the agreements in
the peace accord.
“For us in the PDP and indeed all Nigerians, we have now come to the
breaking point where our members can no longer stomach the escalated
onslaught of the Buhari Presidency and the APC. Nigeria belongs to all
of us and we might have no option left in the present circumstance than
to pull off our gloves.
“The Peace committee and the International Criminal Court should hold
President Buhari directly responsible for any break down of law and
order in our country as Nigerians will never allow him to rig this
election.”
