The Peoples Democratic Party has expressed deep concerns over the “apparent indifference” of the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to what it described as burning national issues threatening the unity and stability of the country.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday said “while well-meaning Nigerians and the international community are celebrating the peace fostered by the patriotic action of President Goodluck Jonathan in conceding defeat, Buhari and his party, the APC, have been moving around the country instigating division, engineering crisis and heightening tension in the polity.

“Whereas Buhari had assured Nigerians that he would be the President of the entire nation and not of a political party, his actions in the last one week show otherwise as he has continued to display sectionalism and insensitivity to matters inimical to the survival of our democracy and well-being of Nigerians.

“Instead of settling down to plan a smooth transition and design ways of deepening democracy in appreciation of the mandate given to him, General Buhari has tacitly encouraged his men to foment crisis and cause panic in the bid to muzzle personal freedom and impose a reign of terror in the land.”

For instance, Metuh alleged that Buhari has remained indifferent to the crisis in Ekiti where majority of the lawmakers who are all members of the APC have been planning to impeach Governor Ayodele Fayose.

Metuh added that, “APC’s ambition in Ekiti coupled with its odious triumphalism in the aftermath of the Presidential election have led to avoidable confrontations and near breakdown of law and order in the state as the people rise to defend the mandate freely given to the PDP.

“It is indeed unfortunate that while his men are causing crisis and threatening Nigerians, General Buhari, instead of calling them to order, displays his insensitivity by jetting around the country campaigning for his party.

“If this sort of insensitivity and arrogance of victory are foretaste of what to expect in a Buhari presidency, then our dear nation and its people are headed for a long trek in the wilderness.”

Meanwhile, Metuh in reaction to reports of defection from its fold described the defectors as political trojans, who from within have ceaselessly worked against the interest of the party and now fear that they would face sanctions for their actions.

Metuh elections are not yet over nah , so he shouldn't campaign for his party so una go win everything bah ,when did Buhari campaign become a big deal I though you guess called him a "dead brain". About the transition do you realize there would be a committee inaugurated for that and supervised by our humble VP elect ? Am sure GEJ would have done worse with is hate messenger FFK

Olisa metuh is ignorant. How can fayose (for months) sign laws only when 7 law makers sit? Who says impeachment proceedings are illegal? How is Buhari responsible for any break down of law and order in Ekiti State with Fayose as Governor? When will Olisa Metuh defect to APC? Hehehehe.

If you think that Jonathan was/is the most criticised president of a country, just wait from May 29, 2015, to see real criticism...Sometimes, change in leadership is pretty good, so the other sees the other side of opposition.

What nonsense is this man talking about?
What do you expect GMB to do? Stop the lawmakers from from trying to impeach Fayose if he has contravened the law because the are his party members?
The so called National burning issues were issues your Party’s insensitivity and corrupt style of leadership brought about in the first place, so stew in it till May 29th. Or better still, call FFK to solve them with propaganda.

God bless you for that post.
And for all those Fayose sympathizers, welcome to a new Nigeria where the rule of law prevails over hooliganism. Abeg, how else do u want the legislators to operate? Is it contrary to the constitution they have sworn to defend? Let everyone who is learned say the contrary. You ain't seen nothing else.
By the way, why did he go to the same court which he has desecrated by slapping its judge to ask for injunction to prevent his impeachment, I think he is out of his wits end.


This is no Fayose Sympathy. All these allegations and grounds of impeachment still boils down to one point:

HOSTILITY against the governor which they never hide even from the moment he was declared winner. Even Fayemi didn't come to handover to Fayose. Pride among others is the reason.

Those lawmakers weren't going to allow Fayose have it easy anyway as they follow suit with Fayemi.

We can keep complaining about Fayose and his approach. Obejctively, they don't have a point to. This not bout fayose defending the allegations against him cos they already have an uterior motive for their actions.

Two wrongs never make a right. Its no sympathetic comment. It is about being objective and being just in our course.

Let them do what they want now since they are in power now. Just as you say, the table has turned against Fayose. Well, the table will always turn. It doesn't end with them...

What did Metuh, PDP and GEJ do when 7 lawmakers sat, impeached the speaker and suspended 19 other members in Ekiti state?

What did Metuh, PDP and GEJ do when 5 lawmakers attempted to impeach the speaker of a 32 member Rivers state house of assembly?

What did Metuh, PDP and GEJ do when Fayose ran riot with his death wishes for GMB in newspapers?

What did Metuh, PDP and GEJ do when Fayose slapped a serving state judge in Ekiti state?

What did Metuh, PDP and GEJ do when Mbu practically took over governance in Rivers state because Ameachi refused to be handbag carrier for mama piss?

In fact, what has Metuh, PDP and GEJ said or done since PDP killer machines went on rampage in Rivers state killing and maiming at will while security agencies look the other way?

Are they trying to abdicate office before the due date? I'm sure GMB will be ready to mount the saddle even today if they decide to become irresponsible to their duties.


My Brother, you forgot to add this; what did Metuh and PDP do when Asari Dokubo was going on air singing hate songs with a serving Gov. of a SS state, the President's aid and other security apparatus present?!

He hasn't been sworn in yet. Do they expect him to give press conferences every time mosquito bites someone? Let him be sworn in first come May 29 before they staRt all their jargons. They should remeber that it took the PDP govt over a week to react to the missing chibok girls, also remember the massacre in buniyadi and the president seen dancing somewhere else. They should shut the f$&k up, it isn't time yet!

In fact, by these recent publications of theirs, including that trash from Aribisala on how Jega won the election for GMB, PDP are the ones instigating trouble across the country. What do they want Buhari to do in the case of Ekiti, prevent the law makers from carrying out their constitutional duties??

Lest they forget, Jonathan remains the president. It is still his responsibility ensuring Nigerians are safe.

They are simply finding it hard getting over the defeat they suffered in the last election. I'm sure this ogre was one of those who were pressurising Jonathan not to concede defeat.

Clown..then Buhari should have kept quiet all through GEJS tenure. Infact he should NOT have complained about a thing since GEJ IS still the President. Why was he going about running his mouth about issues that were not his business in the 1st place?? He should have waited to be President before complaining about GEJ.

For your info, recklessness is when you get thugs to sack a court of law then slap the judge....APC hasn't done that.

Recklessness is when a serving commisioner leads thugs to waylay the convoy of lawmakers going to resume work....APC didn't do that.

Recklessness is sponsoring hate, death wishes against a political opponent in the media and you guys were applauding.....APC didn't do that.

The 19 lawmakers are towing the path of "the rule of law" so pls button up your diatribe outlet.

If PDP had been able to muster the required majority in the house, Amaechi would have been history but the man despite his abrasive nature was firmly on the side of the law when he prevented legislative gangsterism of 5 members in a 32-member HOA. Same can't be said for Ekiti state where fayose wishes us to agree that in a house of 26 members, 7 is majority.

Amaechi is a thug i know....but a refined thug unlike Fayose. The irony is that fayose is actually calling the shots in a state dubbed the ''fountain of knowledge''
