Our members are being treated as prisoners of war – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government of treating its members as “prisoners of war”.

National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh, stated this while addressing party stakeholders in Lokoja, Kogi State shortly before the commencement of the re-scheduled ward congress of the party in the state yesterday, said the party was also working hard to win the Kogi and Bayelsa governorship polls scheduled for November and December, respectively.

According to him, the PDP is not afraid of intimidation, harassment and arrest of its members by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government but insists the arrest is done within the confines of the law.

He reiterated the party’s unwavering stand against corruption, lamenting, however, the alleged witch hunt of its members under the pretext of a probe, while condemning the uncivilised method of arrests, intimidation and the abuse of the fundamental human rights of members of the party, who served in the last administration”.
