ALL PROGRESSIVES Congress, APC, has condemned the seal-up of the secretariat of new Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, in Abuja, saying those behind the action must be “identified and jailed for “crass lawlessness and palpable impunity.”
APC said: “Only God knows what those who orchestrated the sealing up of the secretariat of the new PDP will do to stifle the opposition if they could go to this shameful length to get at their dissenting members, even as ‘peace’ talks supposedly continue between them.”
The nPDP office.
The party in a statement by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, yesterday, stated: ‘’The festering crisis in the PDP is not our business, but when the crisis leads to repression, disregard for court orders and constitutional provisions, we cannot keep quiet because those issues have grave implications for our democracy,’’
It described the sealing up of nPDP secretariat as a throwback to the nation’s darkest era.
It argued that it confirmed the fears being expressed by the opposition that the Jonathan Administration,now being hoisted by its own petard, would become increasingly intolerant and repressive with the approach of the 2015 general elections.
APC said: ‘’There is no doubt that the rump of the ruling PDP which has the ears of President Jonathan is behind the sealing up of the new PDP secretariat, in a dangerous defiance of a court order that the parties must maintain the status quo.
“The egregious nature of this action becomes even clearer when viewed against the lies being peddled by the old PDP, that the sealing of the secretariat, which it instigated, has the imprimatur of the courts.”
