The attention of the Office of the National Publicity Secretary has been drawn to a press statement by persons purporting to be officials of PDP Staff Welfare Association, wherein they engaged in direct attack and threats on the person of the National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh.
From all indications, those behind the statement chose to drift from issues and narrowed on the National Publicity Secretary. This is not unexpected given the role of the National Publicity Secretary in the rebuilding of our great party and how uncomfortable the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has been for his outspokenness.
We are aware that the anti-PDP forces have easily found a handful of disgruntled PDP staffs as willing tools to attack Chief Metuh with a view to bringing him to public odium, distract him and deny our party a credible voice to propagate its positions. These forces had even gone to the extent of engineering some discontented PDP members to portray statements by the National Publicity Secretary as his personal opinions in the attempt to discredit and intimidate him.
For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that the National Publicity Secretary will not be deterred or detracted by such threats and cheap blackmails as he remains committed to his role in the rebuilding of the PDP and in providing firm, credible and issue based opposition to the ruling party.
This office would not join issues with these elements, however we make bold to state that Chief Olisa Metuh, being aware of the challenges that comes with his new role has offered himself, his office as well as all his private companies for probe by the Department of State Services (DSS) or any other government agency for that matter.
We also find it laughable that anybody would criticise the recent PDP congresses in Anambra and Kogi that have been widely applauded to be transparent and credible as established by the peace and harmony that characterised the processes. One also wonders how the issue of congresses helps the case of welfare matters being pushed by the staff, if not for the ulterior motive of destroying the PDP publicity.
The authors of the press statement deliberately refused to appreciate Chief Olisa Metuh’s immense contributions in the party and the fact that he became the longest serving member of the National Executive Committee due to hard work and the confidence members of the party repose on him as an individual.
Finally, this office is happy that those after Chief Olisa Metuh have for now, chosen to demand for investigation instead of resorting to plots to assassinate him. However, we restate that the National Publicity Secretary will not in any way be cowed or intimidated by the threats, blackmails and attacks by anti-PDP forces to abandon his mandate as spokesperson of our great party.
Signed:
Richard Ihediwa,
Special Assistant
to The National Publicity Secretary

Ds man sef 2 dey talk,tho i lyk im 4 sum of his constructv criticism.anyway i wish im wel..linda gudmornin.
it would be best to respond to YOUR staff Chief Metuh instead of trying to divert attention and insinuate it's an APC plot against you. I think that would be better and would shame your accusers if indeed you are innocent of the claims.
ok

Hmmmmmmm
Most times when we walk into big malls, boutiques, supermarkets, we never question their prices. We pay exactly what we see on the price tags and even hand out tips to the staff.
But the moment we are out of these shops and want to buy banana, our bargaining game gets off to the roof. Poor widow with 12 hungry children at home tells you banana is N100. She even takes out her time to explain how difficult it was for her to even buy it, how the economy is so tough.
But we insist that if it's not N50, we are not paying. Some of us even step back into our cars and make to drive away. But because 'half bread is better chin chin', this woman is forced to call you back and sell to you at little or no gain. In her heart, she cries, she's worried about how she'll survive with her children. She silently reassures herself that 'It's well.
God will definitely provide.'' While you happily chop the luscious banana. Take some seconds out and think about this, guys. Please don't bargain hard with small vendors like this. They do business not to buy designer bags, Gucci shoes but to LIVE and EAT!
Hmmm , na wa o
Olisa Metuh don't worry , the probe exercise is turn by turn, it will get to ur turn no need to rush.
Why are ibo people manning pdp. Isn't it a yoruba abi hausa party?
This man, nobody is interested in how you squandered ur pdp money. In fact that is you people's business. We are only interested in probing and recovering money stolen from the Nigerian govt by corrupt pdp officials

@ "This office would not join issues with these elements". These guys are about to bury their party.
He should go and answer to his people first, wey he carry their money chop. Linda take note!
yeah they should probe him because he talks too much ,people like usually have something ...........hes a thief
I think the real President we have in this country now is not Buhari but Olisa Metuh. In a true democracy, you need credible opposition and that is what Olisa is bringing to the table. He has upped the game and the APC Party look disarrayed any time he voices any opinion against them. No credible defence from APC any time they are attacked. First, I think Lai Muhammed should be FIRED for doing a lazy job
Hmm pdp saga
~D great anonymous!
Their probs
CAN THIS PDP RARASITE METUH PLEASE GO GET A LIFE? SHUT THE FUCK UP? ALLOW US TO BREATHE? LEAVE US ALONE? WHAT PART OF "YOU LOST THE ELECTION" DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND? WHAT PART OF "YOU ALMOST DESTROYED NIGERIA WITH YOUR LOOTING" DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND? IF THIS WERE MALAYSIA OR CHINA, THEY WOULD ALL HAVE BEEN ROUNDED UP AND SHOT FOR ECONOMIC CRIMES, WHICH THEY CONSIDER TO BE TREASON AGAINST THE STATE. IF IT WERE RAWLINGS' GHANA< THEY WOULD ALSO HAVE HAD A DATE WITH THE FIRING SQUAD AT BAR BEACH. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS THIS IS NIGERIA, WHERE PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.
Hmmmmm. PDP every time,
Oh that thou shall relax and let APC arrange this country.
#Dankwata
I thought is other members of the PDP are coming to defend him but after reading the press released I find out it was signed by special assistance to Metuh, Metuh pls call other PDP members to ur rescue if not they are not in support of what you are doing.
NOW THIS IS PURE HARASSMENT. WHAT CONCERNS DSS IN PDP MATTER IF NOT THAT THE PRESIDENT IS IN A RIVAL PARTY. OR ARE THEY FEELING METUH'S HEAT AND WANT TO SILENCE HIM? WHEN DID JONATHAN WADE INTO APC'S NUMEROUS INTERNAL MATTERS? BORN AGAIN DEMOCRAT INDEED.
Met uh is the chairman board of trustee of pep and the chairman of pep. He's a yypical ibo man. Everything has been abandoned for him and he is making himself relevant by attacking any step taken by apc even step for his benefit. He makes me sick and I wish apc will ignore him. For met uh opposition is over talking. Apc has not done anything and he is talking. We are not listening. Seeking undue attention. He now owns a dead party the ibo way like kweremadu .
Met uh please go sleep and enjoy your loot.
Met uh please go sleep and enjoy your loot.
