TUE. 17 JANUARY, 2023-theGBJournal| The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Monday found themselves demanding the investigation of the ruling party’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu ”for establishing a militia group named Jagaban Army.”
In a heavily worded statement seen by theG&BJournal, the PDP argued that the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) and Tinubu have ”declared war” on Nigerians and openly dared the Nigerian military apparently with the aim to undermine Nigeria’s national security and architecture and sovereignty as a nation.
According to the PDP statement, the establishment of the Jagaban army further confirms its position that the APC plans to unleash violence on innocent Nigerians and disrupt the 2023 general elections.
”Our Party holds that the formation of this dangerous militia is in the series and plots and steps in compliance with the directive of Bola Tinubu in London to members of the APC to take power by all means,” the PDP said, while describing the APC and its presidential candidate as a ”clear and present danger.”
The PDP backed up their allegations with a leaked video in which it alleged that Tinubu charged his followers that ”political power is not going to be served in a restaurant, it is not served a la carte. It is what we are doing; It is being determined, you do it at all cost; fight for it, grab it, snatch it and run with it.”
The Party followed this up with a call on President Muhammadu Buhari to take ”immediate steps” to ensure Tinubu and the APC do not derail Nigeria’s democracy ”just because they have been rejected by Nigerians.”
The PDP also urged security agencies to take what it called, immediate action to invite the Presidential Candidate of the APC for questioning as well as arrest APC Youth Leader, Dayo Israel and other APC leaders ”involved in this threat to the existence of our nation.”
