The Labour Party on Wednesday said Nigerians would not be
intimidated into abandoning their legitimate and legal right to seek redress in
court to reclaim their mandate “which was freely given to its Presidential
Candidate, Peter Obi but brazenly stolen by highest bidders.”
Yunusa Tanko, Chief Spokesperson of the Labour Party, stated
this in Abuja while reacting to the alarm raised by the Department of State
Services, DSS, over an alleged plot by some politicians or group of people to
create an Interim National Government.
Recall that the DSS had alleged that some
politicians were plotting to truncate the country’s democracy through
demonstrations and “obtaining frivolous court injunctions” which would stop the
inauguration of the President-Elect, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu.
The secret police warned those nursing such intention to
desist from it, describing it as unacceptable.
Reacting to the security alert, the LP spokesperson tackled
the DSS over its silence on the violence that marred the just concluded general
elections.
According to Tanko, the DSS should have arrested some
violence instigators such as MC Oluomo who threatened the Igbos in Lagos State
prior to the gubernatorial election.
Yunusa said, “We are certain that Nigerians who want to take
back their country will not be intimidated or blackmailed into abandoning a
legitimate course.
“Where was the DSS when MC Oluomo and his ilk were engaged
in ethnic profiling and violence against Nigerians of a certain ethnic
nationality over their democratic choices?
“We urge the DSS to send these words of caution to those
bigots who are pushing this country to the brink of disaster with their
utterances and violent conduct against other peace-loving Nigerians who do not
subscribe to their political views or speak their language.”
