The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it has nothing to do with the reported police’s invitation of Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, over which the PDP has released an outlandish statement containing all sorts of imaginary claims.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said it neither wrote a petition to the police nor is it aware that any petition was written against the Deputy Senate President.
”However, if, as the PDP claims, the petition concerns alleged altering
of the Senate’s Standing Rules on the process of electing Presiding
Officers, that is a clear case of forgery which the police have a duty
to investigate. Questioning the right of the police to carry out their
duties in this regard amounts to intimidating the security agency.
”Forgery is a crime that is being regularly investigated by the police, and it beggars belief that such investigation will now be interpreted to mean that Nigeria is descending into dictatorship or that democracy and the enjoyment of personal freedoms are now endangered. These claims by the scaremongering PDP are far fetched and preposterous,” it said.
APC said if indeed there is a petition against Senator Ekweremadu, he should gladly heed the invitation by the police so he can clear his name, adding that no one is above the law.
”President Muhammadu Buhari has repeatedly said that at every point, the law must be supreme and everyone must respect the law, if the nation’s democratic system is to survive. Extrapolating a police invitation of anyone, no matter his status, to mean the onset of dictatorship is itself an invitation to lawlessness and anarchy, which permeated the long but ineffective rule of the PDP,” the party said.

ReplyDeletefew seconds ago
ReplyDeletePDP has succeded in putting the APC on the defensive eversince it woefully failed in managining the creation of the 8th NASS leaderhip.A fatal and irreversible mistake APC made.
They seemingly won the battle but lost the war.So sad.
Fa Fa Faaa Foul!!! Nigerians can no longer tolerate this rubbish from these bastards called Politicians! Thunder must fire them all from A-Z!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that it's only pdp members they are inviting....just asking!
ReplyDeleteU said it all Mr Lai mohammed.
ReplyDeleteWho are we gonn' ask??? I truly hope so.
ReplyDeleteThis is where they are steering Nigeria wrong...they APC is playin this nation a very political game rather than the #Change ... The PDP has been a friendly party and matured enuff to handover peacefully...let the APC and Pa Buhari respect this Nation and face d real reason why we are here...Stop d politic shits now...trying to arrest or prosecute The deputy speaker will only spark outrage and more fights ahead
ReplyDeleteCould this be one of the major reasons for stationing fully armed soldiers and amored trucks in and around Ekwulobia prisons in Anambra State, under the pretext of resolving the BH crises? Just in case, just in case, those residents make any real or imaginary moves, then they'll be dealt with swiftly and summarily. Just saying-o.
Deletelie mohammed, how about the same police also arrest buhari to defend the court case against him over forgery of his waec.
ReplyDeletewe've seen enough of buhari's achievement since after his inauguration mr. lie lie mohammed, remember there's God ooooooooooooo.
Its only a matter of time, Nigerian will soon see PDP as a wailing party... PDP is so gone
ReplyDeleteOga "Lie Mohammed", story for the gods. Please tell it to the birds. Make una continue....2019 is around the corner. Sofar so good, nothing done....0/100. Cheers. Don Casey.
