Kwara state PDP on Thursday accused the ruling APC of planning a clampdown on opposition.
The state Publicity Secretary, Hon Tunji Morounfoye in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com cited credible intelligence information.
The party however expressed confidence in the heads of security agencies in the state submitting that they would show professionalism.
‘The Kwara state Peoples Democratic party (PDP) wishes to alert the general public that it has secured intelligence information that the Kwara state All Progressives Congress APC regime is planning a clampdown on notable opposition figures in Kwara state in the coming days. The proposed diabolical plan is to come up with trumped up charges and insist that security agencies arrest and take such opposition party members to court.
We, at the PDP, are confident that the current set of security agencies leadership in Kwara state would not react to such blatant attempt by the ruling party regime to gag the opposition. They have in the recent past shown their professional abilities in solving crime and nipping other criminal activities in the bud. They have also discharged their duties without fear or favour.
We hereby call on well -meaning Kwarans to impress upon the APC party regime not to heat up the polity with this ill-advised decision to clamp down on opposition figures. The Kwara state APC regime should be reminded of the fragile security situation in the country as of today. Clamping down on opposition party members on trumped up charges could lead to the breakdown of law and order in Kwara state.
We advise that the APC regime showcases their achievements as a strategy rather than attempting to clamp down and gag opposition party members with indiscriminate arrests on frivolous reasons. This is a democratic setting, not a dictatorship.
The ban on political campaigns will be lifted in a few days’ time. We, at the PDP, hope to conduct our political campaigns in an atmosphere of peace and harmony which Kwara state is known for.
We intend to showcase our past achievements as a party and promise to deliver more to the people. We advise that the Kwara state APC regime considers doing the same rather than going through this draconian and undemocratic route’ the statement said- Team@orientactualmags.com
