PDP releases statement on Olisa Metuh's arrest by EFCC

Below is the statement from PDP
Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrived the Abuja home of the spokesman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh this morning, inviting him to follow them to the commission’s headquarters.
Upon enquiry on the reasons for the invitation, the officials stated that he has some issues to clear with the commission. They also said he was not being arrested but friendly invited. The operatives, four in number, came in a White unmarked Toyota Hiace bus.
As at the time of issuing this statement, Chief Metuh is still being kept at the commission’s headquarters and his lawyers were making frantic efforts to reach him.

While details of why Chief Metuh was invited is yet to be made pubic by the commission, it could be recalled that severally, Chief Metuh, as the mouthpiece of the opposition party had alerted in various press conferences and statements that he has been under threat and that the ruling party and the government have been very uncomfortable with his stance.

The latest being the outburst and threats by the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Oyegun in reaction to Chief Metuh’s criticisms of President Buhari’s widely criticized response on government’s disobedience of court orders, during the last Wednesday’s Presidential Media chat.

 The Office of the National Publicity Secretary will keep the public updated on any development on the issue.

Signed:
Richard Ihediwa
Special Assistant to
PDP National Publicity Secretary

My question is those arrested, are their hands clean? if yes, they have nothing to fear. Metuh has been making noise since he knows his antecedent isntead of him to be silent.
he who lives in a glass house shouldn't be throwing stone.

I can see that the only enemies of this country are the people criticizing Buhari anti-corruption war. They are mostly the people from the geo political zone where former clueless President came from going by their names. They will never abhor corruption and fight against it because it has become their part and parcel. They will definitely hang themselves because the war against corruption must be fought to a logical end. Very soon, their corrupt adopted brother, Fani-Kayode will answer his own role in the Dansukigate saga.

Linda dey watch as it dey go.....lol

If your family members were killed by boko haram simply because our military men did not have equipments to fight boko haram, you will not defend PDP looting thieves for looting the money meant for arms. Anybody that is against corruption is against God because God is a God of integrity. God is a just God. The bible says; Give what is ceaser to ceaser which means the corrupt thieves should face the law.

You don't see d true picture here do u? EFCC should not b a weapon of d ruling party! It should be independent! How come all EFCC arrests have been enemies of Buhari! Opposition is healthy and must be tolerated in every Democratic state! Regardless of rights and wrongs all i see in ds government is the use of disorderliness to create order.... Which is impossible!

anonymous said...

In a democracy, there must be opposition. If the ruling party don't allow opposition, then it is a military style regime. For pres. Buhari to be fighting only people from the opposing party with arrests and intimidation whilst leaving the demons in his own party like Fashola and Amaechi to roam free with juicy positions, it only denotes that Democracy would soon die a natural death. This is Democracy that Abiola paid for with his life and Buhari who has been against democracy all his life is now enjoying. It seems clear now that APC want to destroy this country. We don't say that Buhari shouldn't go after corruption but he should be wise.

smh for Nigerians, particularly those that voted this inept party APC into power,these smooth operation that they are involved in will surely end one day,the highest they can do it to murder the flesh of the opposition and not the soul,APC will not turn Nigeria into a one party state all because they want to dominate Nigerian politics,and all these their social media supporters that bark all the time to defend all their devilish decisions should remember that they and their party (APC) and their president (buhari) is not GOD so people will never fear or worship them,and may GOD destroy any party or president that feels that they are bigger than Nigeria.

Hi dear, refrain from using offensive words against d President. It's not polite. I support you on dis one but not d choice of words.

Rex said...

Some people are so gullible and readily fall
for these bigots predictable pranks.
Metuh, FFK, and Fayose knew all along that
the EFCC will ultimately uncover their own share of
the Dasukigate, that is why they've been making loud and
completely unnecessary criticism of PMB and his administration
so that when the long arm of the law finally catches up with them
they will easily deceive the block heads that their arrest
is "witch hunt" due to their condemnation of the Govt and its
policies. They are so stupid that they didn't know that the right
thing for them to do is to swallow their pride and return the money
even before the EFCC discovered it.

PDP ruled in the last administration so why should APC be investigated? The onus of proof lies in the hands of the current administration. At state level the governors should prove that the past administration stole and federal level the president should do likewise.

shawwal14 said...

Good evening to every LIB members, pls can u allow my view by shedding some light to d allegation of president buhari witch-hunting only pdp members. The allegation is totally biased and wrong, bcos d last administration were just behaving like father Christmas to anybody that claim to love their party during d time of 2015 general election. Can't we know is illegal to take a single kobo from d money meant for national critical issue like boko-haram menace for individual purpose. It very easy to know the then ruling party can never share d dasukigate money with an opposition people like those in APC by d time of d last election. We all know they diverted d arm deal money to d pocket of all their party members to fund and to also win d last presidential election at all costs. So there is no how d dasukigate issue will concern an APC members bcos PDP will never empower anybody from their conck rivals camp/party which is APC. Even though people like amaechi,tambuwal, okorocha, saraki and so on that cross from PDP to APC can never be involved bcos PDP as a party has already know all this name I mentioned were working against d interest of their party b4 they even cross to APC, so they minimized them to have anything from d diverted fund. So I don't see d reason y any APC direct members will be involved in dasuki-gate. Don't caught unaware if d issue involved 80percent of PDP strong members and leaders bcos they all share d loot together. Moreover dasuki himself has admitted of diverting d money meant for security to d purse of d people he his mentioning. So I don't see any witch-hunting here at-all is just a coincident matters. So as a good nigeria we must not have mercy for any corrupt leaders.#buhari is d best for Nigeria. Thanks.

Buhari bought some weapons for them to manage for the time being even though it wasnt enough. It shows that you have not been following the news. You are the ignorant one here and you are busy calling people ignorant. See you even agreeing that PDP are thieves. Is that why they should loot the money meant for arms? Did Dasuki share the money for arms to any APC member? Abeg park well and comment intelligently.

Mr. Hamzat niyi, you see how foolish your argument is. A particular case? what about buharigate case.. the billions that was spent by Buhari associate to prosecute the election, where did the money come from. The nigeria people have the right to know who gave Buhari money to prosecute the presidential election. What about this particular case of criminals in APC who stole whilst in office and many were once members of the PDP,where is EFCC on their case?To fight corruption, you prosecute all cases and not one particular case my dear
