The main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has indicted the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration of using security agencies to clamp down on the opposition.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by the PDP spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan.<\/p>\n

According to the party’s spokesman,\u00a0the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC<\/a>) is using the Economic and Financial Commission (EFCC) to harass PDP leaders \u201cin the renewed move to cow and weaken opposition formation\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ologbondiyan said the APC is targeting dissenting voices to \u201cfoist an anti-democratic situation\u201d in the country ahead of the\u00a0 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur party however states that no amount of intimidation, harassment and use of anti-graft agencies to clampdown on its leaders on trump up corruption charges, can cow or make the PDP to surrender or abdicate the mandate already given to it by Nigerians to lead in the effort to rescue our nation, come 2023,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe APC knows that it has been rejected by Nigerians having failed woefully and that there is no way it can win elections<\/a> under any condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs such, it seeks to use the state apparatus of power to decimate and muzzle opposition and dissenting voices and foist an anti-democratic situation on Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of this heinous plot by the APC is to use the EFCC to bully, harass and hound PDP leaders, who are rallying Nigerians for the task ahead, with a view to coercing them to abdicate the mandate of the people and join the APC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis explains why the EFCC and other security agencies have been harassing PDP leaders such as former Senate President, Bukola Saraki; former PDP state governors, including the former governor or Abia state, senator Theodore Orji; former governor of Bayelsa state, Seriake Dickson; his Kano state counterpart, senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and other key PDP leaders, on trump up charges, while their counterparts in the APC with similar allegations as well as others who had defected to the APC are moving around freely.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PDP said while its members are being hounded by security agencies, \u201ccorrupt officials of the APC administration, who are looting our national treasury, are doing so freely, under Buhari\u2019s watch\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, our party has been made aware of plots by the APC administration to use the EFCC to further harass outspoken PDP chieftains in a bid to muzzle our party, force a one-party state and deny Nigerians a voice to challenge the atrocities of the APC and its administration,\u201d the PDP said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe alert Nigerians of how many of our leaders are being harassed by emissaries of the APC in a bid to get them to compromise their stand against the corrupt and inept APC administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the APC had done well; if it had not devastated Nigerians and brought so much pain to the people; if the APC had managed our national resources well instead or engaging in unbridle treasury looting, stealing over N15 trillion naira and turning our nation into poverty capital of the world, if APC had not compromised our national security and threw our nation open to bandits, insurgents and terrorists, would it not be celebrating by now instead of this plot to force the people to submission?\u201d<\/p>\n

The opposition party said its leaders will not be cowed to jettison the \u201cdetermination to oust the APC from office at all levels across the country, come 2023\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
