The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has raised the alarm over what it described as oppressive and unfair treatment of its leaders by the government of the day.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by its National Legal Adviser, Victor Kwon, the party warned of plans to arrest Senators Godswill Akpabio and Ike Ekweremadu on trumped up charges.
”The Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) laments the oppressive and unfair treatments against its key leaders by the Federal Government.
”The party alerts the nation that the arrest and detention of its Deputy National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is part of the grand script by the APC-led Federal Government to decimate the opposition.
”We are also aware that plans have been perfected by the Federal Government to arrest and detain the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio and other leaders of the party on imaginary charges.
”Indeed, intelligence available to the party shows that the Federal Government, using its various agencies, is bent on destroying any opposition to the ruling party as all indications show that the government is more interested in humiliating the PDP than fighting corruption.
”Finally, we state that this war on the PDP and its leaders has indeed gone too far. It has now become a mockery of democratic practice,” the statement said.
