FRI, FEB 21 2020-theG&BJournal- The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has questioned the Federal Government over its hesitation to arrest the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Adams Oshiomhole ‘’for openly inciting the attack on Justice Mary Odili over the Supreme Court judgement on the Bayelsa state governorship election.’’
In a statement signed Thursday by the National Publicity Secretary of PDP Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP said the attack on Justice Odili by APC thugs is part of APC’s plot to intimidate, harass and cow the judiciary and judges to do only its bidding in delivering judgements on cases involving the PDP and its members.
‘’APC should know that Nigerians are not deceived by the desperate effort by its leaders to politicize the attack on Justice Odili by making flimsy and baseless allegations against the PDP, in a failed bid to divert public attention from their culpability in the attack,’’ PDP said.
PDP alleged that the APC masterminded the attack on Justice Odili, using the same agents that coordinated the attacks on the residence of Governor Duoye Diri, the burning of PDP secretariat in Bayelsa and violent attacks on Radio Bayelsa by APC thugs.
‘’Our Party, therefore, will definitely not the APC to drag it into politicising the attacks,’’ PDP said, adding that ‘’the delay in arresting Oshiomhole for questioning after it raised the alarm last Thursday and even after hard evidence indicts him and the APC, only goes to validate public apprehensions of a huge collusion with certain agents of the Buhari Presidency to intimidate and annex the judiciary.’’
The PDP also expressed consternation that the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had ‘’failed to arrest Oshiomhole.’’
