The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called out President
Muhammadu Buhari over a trending video showing his Chief of Staff, Ibrahim
Gambari and former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Adams Oshiomhole.
The video entered the public space after Oshiomhole’s
meeting with Buhari.
He and Gambari are seen walking within the Presidential
Villa.
In the footage, the former Edo governor is heard saying:
“Arrest him, deal with…the whole thing will…it goes beyond sermon.”
Reacting, Kola Ologbondiyan, Secretary, National Campaign
Council on Edo Governorship Election, said Nigerians were alarmed by the video
He noted that the duo were talking about the September 19
poll.
“Oshiomhole was seen emphatically urging the Chief of Staff
to Mr. President on the need to clampdown on certain unnamed Nigerians to
achieve political suppression and submission ahead of the Edo election.
“Our National Campaign holds that the presence and
involvement of the Chief of Staff to the President and the fact that the
discussion held within the precincts of the Presidential Villa has made the
Presidency complicit and places a huge burden on President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Already, there is anxiety in the public space that the
discussion between Oshiomhole and Prof. Gambari as captured in the video is an
extension of discussions that must have been held behind closed doors in the
Presidential villa.
“The video has validated earlier revelations of plots by
Oshiomhole and the discredited APC governorship candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, to
use compromised security operatives being mobilized by certain individuals in
the Presidency, to arrest innocent Nigerians, including traditional,
faith-based and community leaders on trumped-up charges.”
PDP insists that Oshiomhole and the APC candidate have
completely lost ground in Edo State, hence the plot to clamp down on the
people.
The party told Nigerians to hold the presidency responsible
should there be cases of illegal arrests, assassinations and unexplained
killings, sudden disappearances of prominent people, accidental discharge by
federal security operatives and mysterious accidents.
PDP advised Buhari to reassure Nigerians by immediately
ordering that Adams Oshiomhole and Gambari be pulled in for questioning over
the video.
“Anything short of decisive action on this matter will
further indict the Buhari Presidency especially coming on the heels of public
anxiety over Mr. President’s widely condemned comment on the use of security
forces for elections”, the party said.
