PDP governors have asked the security and antigraft agents to be
mindful of how they carry out instructions from the APC-led government
as they will not be in power forever. In a statement sent of today by
their coordinator Osaro Onaiwu, the governors from the main opposition
party, condemned the handcuffing of its National Publicity Secretary
Olisa Metuh to the Federal High Court yesterday and today. The statement
in reads in part;
“The only reasonable conclusion we have reached is that
the anti-corruption agencies and other institutions of state have
allowed themselves to be dictated to by a single vindictive authority
which takes pleasure in using power anyhow and in anyway in gross abuse
of the constitution. Security and anti-graft agencies should be mindful
of how they take instructions from political office holders as the tide
of power was constantly moving, as the APC will not be in power forever.
The cuffing of the national publicity secretary of the PDP exemplifies a
terrible decay of power by the APC regime which sees itself bigger than
the democratic state, Nigeria, which brought it to power. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Forum is not against the anti-corruption mantra
of the present regime of President Buhari, but we insist it must be
within the ambit of our constitution and appropriate laws. Any other
means is a descent into fascism with its attendant consequences in the
long run.”.
