PDP CONDEMNS ARREST OF DOKPESI,DASUKI ,OTHERS

The PDP has described the arrest of Dokpesi as continuation of political persecution and witchhunt of opposition by the Federal Government. National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, noted that more notable PDP leaders have been listed for arrest over unproven allegations pursuant to the plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to cow and silence opposition in the country.
His words: “We demand a proper investigation and lawful prosecution instead of the reprehensible resort to outright political persecution, which can only have a place in a military regime. “We also note that this development may not be unconnected with the planned onslaught against the media, following its commitment in holding this dictatorial regime accountable since it took office.
“Finally, we call on the international community and rights bodies worldwide to note the growing impunity and gross violation of human rights by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government tailored to decimate the opposition and cow the media in Nigeria.”oversight function on the Ministry of Defence
