The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has condemned alleged incessant harassment of Nigerian senators by the
President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
PDP stated this after the senator
representing Kogi west, Dino Melaye, was admitted into hospital after escaping
from a moving police vehicle on Tuesday.
In a statement issued on
Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP
stated that since the inception of the present administration, the leadership
of the Senate and senators have been under constant harassment.
According to the opposition
party, senators who hold different view from the executive arm of government
are arrested and detained and arraigned on false charges.
“The world has been watching with
horror, since it started with the arraignment of Senate President, Bukola
Saraki, his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu and other senators, on trumped-up charges as
well as attempts to rope in the deputy senate president on charges related to
treason.
“Today, we are witnessing the
harassment and arrest of Senator Dino Melaye, who is known for his support for
the Senate leadership and his criticisms of the excesses of the executive arm.
“Currently, Senators Aliyu
Wamakko, Rabiu Kwakwanso and Danjuma Goje are all being harassed for holding
opinions that do not suit the whims and caprices of the executive,” PDP said.
THE SENATOR SHOULD CONSTANTLY EMBARRASSING THEMSELVES BY OBEYING THE SIMPLE LAW OF THE COUNTRY WHICH THEY MAKE........THEY ARE CALLED LAW MAKER AND NOT LAW BREAKER.
