Governor Nyesom Wike
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the attention of Nigerians and the international community to “threat against Governor Nyesom Wike by the Federal Government.”
The former ruling party cried out in a statement released on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.
He said the recent statement by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, that the Federal Government would have dragged Wike to court, but for his constitutional immunity, had confirmed the fears that government wanted to silence the opposition.
Ologbondiyan said: “PDP condemns in strong terms the further threat against Wike by the Minister of Information and Culture.”
He said rather than dismissing the governor’s allegation that there was a plot by the federal government to assassinate him in a crowd, the matter should be investigated.
Ologbondiyan recalled that the PDP had earlier raised an alarm over plot to harass, intimidate and implicate opposition leaders and members.
