"Nigeria's Democracy May Break With The Arrest Of Olisa Metuh" - PDP by IlajeGal1: 8:28pm On Jan 05, 2016 |
Following the arrest of the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) , Chief Olisa Metuh, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the party's national leadership has demanded his immediate release.This was contained in a statement by Prof. Adewale Oladipo, the National Secretary of the party. Read statement below: This development, which did not come to us as a surprise given series of threats to our party’s spokesman by the APC and the Federal Government, who are obviously not comfortable with our stance on the confused state of the nation under their watch, is a continuation of APC’s grand design to silence and decimate the PDP. The arrest of Chief Metuh today underscores the growing political intolerance in our country and the foisting of a police state which was last Wednesday underscored by the President and Commander-in-Chief himself, who defended why a government in a democracy should flout constitutional provision and brazenly disobey court orders. This onslaught against our spokesman, according to intelligence available to us is part of a larger script by the government to ensure that PDP wings are finally clipped in their mission to install a dictatorial one-party state in the country. The excesses of security agencies under this government, especially the Directorate of Security Services (DSS) and the EFCC, in abridging the human rights of PDP members have become worrisome and a threat to our democratic evolution. Nigerians and the international community will recall that on a number of occasions, the PDP, through its spokesman has been outspoken on some undemocratic proclivities being exhibited by the APC-led Federal Government in the last seven months. The PDP insists that for whatever reason Chief Metuh was arrested, his rights as a citizen under the law must not be trampled upon. We therefore demand for his immediate release and that due process of investigation and prosecution concerning him should be strictly adhered to. We state this because we have been made aware of top directives to break Chief Metuh and if possible poison him during his detention by the EFCC. Chief Metuh, has since his arrest at about 10 am, has been kept incommunicado, with his lawyers denied access to him. The PDP declares the arrest of our spokesman as the last straw that may break our democracy. We therefore forewarn the Federal Government and its agencies to save our democracy and forthwith release our National Publicity Secretary. We are also calling on the international community and well-meaning Nigerians to stand up for this democracy, which our party nurtured for 16 years and deepened to a level where the opposition, for the first time in our political history, had the opportunity to win in a general election. http://dawntodusknews.com/nigerias-democracy-may-break-with-the-arrest-of-olisa-metuh-pdp/ 14 Likes 4 Shares |

espn:Where is the evidence that any money was shared? They just arrest people and start releasing statements to the media without allowing the other party to tell his own part of the story and you zombies swallow everything hool, line and sinker! Is this a surprised that this happened few days after Metuh called Buhari a tyrant and was warned before he repeated it again? 61 Likes 8 Shares |

We are also calling on the international community and well-meaning Nigerians to stand up for this democracy, which our party nurtured for 16 years and deepened to a level where the opposition, for the first time in our political history, had the opportunity to win in a general election. Oga Secretary, we are standing up for democracy, hence, our position that Olisa Metuh should get a team of brilliant lawyers and explain all what he knows to the investigators. If the investigator aren't satisfied, he should be prepared to explain himself to the judge. There is no two ways about this. This is a democratic process. However, if he knows within Himself that he ate our scarce resources(yams), he should save us time by surrendering his yams and plead for forgiveness. But whether or not he agrees, the law must take its course. God Bless Nigeria 144 Likes 18 Shares |

@Post. Nigerians are the biggest empty Braggarts in the world. They only make noise to then beg when you call their bluff bluntly. By the end of 2016 every Nigerian will understand we are in a new era led by a President who will not make noise to dignify threats against Nigeria but will instead move silently, firmly and decisively against such threats as Kanu and his followers have discovered expensively. The days of every charlatan threatening Nigeria are over. 62 Likes 6 Shares |

Kanu now knows better than to threaten other Nigerians as if we are chickens merely because everybody was getting away with such in the past. Jokers. 33 Likes 2 Shares |
