The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) Monday night, said the Deputy Director General (Admin) of Atiku Campaign
Organization, Barr. Tanimu Turaki SAN, has been arrested by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
PDP warned that Turaki should be
release immediately and unconditionally.
Its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan,
in a statement said Turaki’s arrest and detention is part of the grand plot by
the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to use state
apparatus of power to intimidate PDP leaders and scuttle PDP’s determination to
reclaim our February 23, 2019 Presidential election victory in court.
It reads: “Since the people’s
candidate, Atiku Abubakar and the PDP expressed our unwavering determination to
reclaim our victory at the tribunal, being armed with overwhelming evidence,
our leaders have been subjected to escalated harassments, constant threats,
blackmails, cajoling and contrivances by the APC to drop our legal option.
“It is instructive to state that
Tanimu Turaki was arrested and detained upon invitation by the EFCC to endorse
a bail document for the Finance Director of Atiku Abubakar’s company, Babalele
Abdullahi, who was arrested earlier by the commission over flimsy allegations.
“The PDP, however, states in
clear terms that the APC and the Buhari Presidency are fighting a lost battle
as no amount of harassment and threats will ever make the party to buckle in
its determination to take back the mandate, in line with the wishes and
aspirations of Nigerians.
“Nigerians are resolute on this
struggle to reclaim the mandate freely given to Atiku Abubakar at the polls and
the PDP will pursue this decision to its logical end and secure justice for the
Nigerian people”.
