The Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday raised the alarm over
oppressive and unfair treatments against its key leaders by the
President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government.
The party in a
statement by its National Legal Adviser, Mr. Victor Kwom, stated that
the arrest and detention of its Deputy National Chairman, Prince Uche
Secondus by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission was part of
“the grand script by the APC-led Federal Government to decimate the
opposition.”
“We are also aware that plans have been perfected by
the Federal Government to arrest and detain the Deputy Senate
President, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu; Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Godswill
Akpabio and other leaders of the party on imaginary charges.
“Indeed,
intelligence available to the party shows that the Federal Government,
using its various agencies, is bent on destroying any opposition to the
ruling party as all indications show that the government is more
interested in humiliating the PDP than fighting corruption.
“We
state that this war on the PDP and its leaders has indeed gone too far.
It has now become a mockery of democratic practice”, Kwom said.
