PDP raises alarm over plans of FG to arrest Ekweremadu, Akpabio.

  
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised an alarm on plans by the government to clamp down on opposition by arresting its top members, including Deputy Senate President Chief Ike Ekweremadu, Senate Minority Leader and Godswill Akpabio.

In a statement signed by its national Legal Adviser, Barr. Victor Kwon the party noted that such arrests are mockery on democracy.
“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.
“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.
“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.”
It explained that this war on the PDP and its leaders has indeed gone too far. It has now become a mockery of democratic practice.
