The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the arrest of Daar Communications Emeritus chairman Raymond Dokpesi as persecution.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh, the opposition party said:
“While the PDP is not against the war against corruption, we insist that the crusade must be carried out within the limits of the law and not as a guise to persecute and torture opposition elements in the country.
“Our fear is that with the pronouncement of guilt even without being given the opportunity within his rights as a citizen to state his own side of the story, the President Buhari-led government is sidestepping the laws to ensure that Chief Dokpesi does not get justice in the court, a plot which they want to extend to other PDP leaders.
“The PDP therefore demands an open and public trial of all those arrested so that all issues and charges against them as well as their defence therein would also be in the public domain.
“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.
“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.”
PDP must bring out the loots to defend its errand men and women instead crying foul. Whoever is not satisfied with the arrest of the heartless looters must engage lawyers to defend them.
ReplyDeleteThey said a certain amount of money was traced to Raymond Dokpesi account and you are talking rubbish. Who deposited the money there?
Unintelligent entity like u...who said....the issue is dat we need a public trial period...dats wat I expect u to clamour,not they said....are u sure u are even e educated??
DeletePrince Nwoye is also one of the looters. He has also shared in the loot, hence his quick to come to the defence of the "Emeritus Share-man" and "High-Thief" who has now met his waterloo. May the Life of Prince Nwoye come out like the PDP ruled Nigeria since 1999, May his finances be drained like PDP did to Nigeria...We say Amen. Foolish "Prince ko Houseboy ni".
