Of particular note is the July reprehensible sealing<br \/>\nof Rivers state local councils by the Police, who also barred members of<br \/>\ncaretaker committees, that were duly appointed by the state government<br \/>\nto take charge of the councils following the pronouncement of the court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, of grave concern is the adamant stance of this administration in<br \/>\nrunning a government without the statutory components of a full cabinet<br \/>\nas prescribed by the constitution, even when the negative consequences<br \/>\nof this strange and totalitarian tendency are taking serious toll on the<br \/>\neconomy and the polity in general.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe intolerance of the APC and the glaring insensitivity of this<br \/>\ngovernment, in spite of the outcries of well-meaning Nigerians against<br \/>\ntheir undemocratic leanings, raise fears about the future of our<br \/>\ndemocracy and the general health of our dear nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, how can we begin to explain the venom and disparagement<br \/>\nwith which the APC has been attacking our highly revered national<br \/>\nleaders in the National Peace Committee, which has as members, former<br \/>\nHead of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto, His<br \/>\nEminence, Alhaji Sa\u2019ad Abubakar, respected clerics; Archbishop John<br \/>\nOnaiyekan and Bishop Matthew Hassan Kuka, retired justices of superior<br \/>\nrecords as well as others highly respected patriotic Nigerians, for<br \/>\ndaring to counsel Buhari\u2019s government on some observed undemocratic<br \/>\ntendencies and processes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The crass attacks are more astonishing, considering the much<br \/>\nappreciated role these great Nigerians played in ensuring a peaceful and<br \/>\nviolence free 2015 general elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is especially as we have no reason to believe that such weighty<br \/>\nattacks from the President\u2019s party can come without his approval, more<br \/>\nso as the APC spokesman, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who authored the<br \/>\nstatements was not part of the meeting between the President and the<br \/>\nPeace Committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PDP and indeed all discerning Nigerians are therefore left with no<br \/>\nother option than to conclude that there is a clear agenda to undermine<br \/>\ncritical institutions of democracy, intimidate Nigerians and pave way<br \/>\nfor dictatorship in the land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn view of the developments, the PDP, as a party that nurtured and<br \/>\nsustained democracy in Nigeria for 16 years, beckons on all lovers of<br \/>\ndemocracy within and outside the country, to rise up to the occasion and<br \/>\nimpress it on President Buhari and his APC to imbibe, in its totality,<br \/>\nthe tenets of democracy and the rule of law in the general interest of<br \/>\nour dear nation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In raising this alarm about disturbing national issues, we however wish<br \/>\nto reiterate our earlier position that the PDP, as a responsible and<br \/>\npatriotic political party, is not in anyway averse to the fight against<br \/>\ncorruption, as long as it is carried out within the ambits of the due<br \/>\nprocess of the law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur nation is a state built on the principles of freedom and social<br \/>\njustice; the essentials of democracy, where \u2018sovereignty belongs to the<br \/>\npeople, from whom government, through the constitution derives all its<br \/>\n<span id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1439737781396_19090\">powers and authority\u2019 for the good of all, irrespective of creed, class, <\/span><br \/>\n<span id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1439737781396_19089\">political, ethnic or gender considerations; tenets that must be <\/span><br \/>\nprotected and upheld at all times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinally, we call on some well-meaning Nigerians who have found<br \/>\n<span id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1439737781396_19088\">themselves in the APC, especially, those who at one time or the other, <\/span><br \/>\nwere pupils of the teachings and visions of the founding fathers of the<br \/>\n<span id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1439737781396_19087\">PDP, to rise above the shallowness of their temporary enclave and join <\/span><br \/>\nin this major defence of democratic ethos&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Signed:<\/p>\n<p>Chief Olisa Metuh<br \/>\nNational Publicity Secretary<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), after a thorough review of the political developments in the country since the All Progressives Congress (APC) took office at the center, alerts all Nigerians&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38757,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pointblanknews-investigations"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
