The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday said the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has listed key members of the party
for arrest ahead of the 2019 general elections.
A statement last
night by the Special Adviser on Media to the PDP National Chairman, Mr.
IKe Abonyi said the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and
his running mate, Peter Obi have been marked for arrest including their
associates.
Others according to the statement are the Senate
President, Bukola Saraki; Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Yakubu Dogara and Prince Uche Secondus who are to be arrested on “frame
up” charges.
Secondus who said in the statement that Nigeria was
on the keg of gunpowder, cautioned the EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu
against what he described as impunity, saying the country could explode
any moment if there was no caution.
“The country is in a keg of a
gunpowder at the moment as a result of your (Magu) hatchet job for the
ruling government and I warn you to get away from this illegitimate job
of using instruments of state to harass and intimidate opponents,” he
said.
Secondus said the target of the ruling party was to bring
the PDP to its knees so that by January, the party would be finally
grounded with its leaders framed up and put behind bars.
“The PDP
national chairman chides Magu and other characters of his type who are
willing to assist the APC in undermining democracy, to look back at
history and know that the consequences are always not palatable,” he
said.
