PDP To Peace Committee, ICC: Buhari, APC Have Declared War on Nigerians

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) announces to the National Peace 
Committee (NPC) and the international community that President Muhammadu
Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have declared and 
commenced a war on the PDP.

The party says President Buhari has unleashed the state security 
apparatus of the police, the military and the Directorate of State 
Services (DSS), who are now hounding, beating up, arresting, detaining 
and shooting PDP leaders in various states, ahead of tomorrow’s 
election.

Federal controlled security officers have taken over the streets; they 
are now attacking and picking up our members, even in their homes, all 
in President Buhari’s bid to subjugate Nigerians and enforce his 
self-succession bid.

In Osun, all our key leaders have been arrested on flimsy charges. Our 
leaders are being harassed and detained in Rivers, Kano and other 
states.

In Kogi, our leaders, including former Governor Ibrahim Idris was 
manhandled, our state campaign spokesperson, Mr. Austin Okai, was 
abducted, while the National Publicity Secretary and Director of Media 
and Publicity of the Campaign, Kola Ologbondiyan, narrowly escaped 
abduction.

All our leaders in Kogi are under siege. The whereabouts of Senator Dino 
Melaye, a senatorial candidate, is uncertain since the last siege on him 
by security agents. The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu has 
refused to dismantle the siege by Government House Police command in 
Banda

We call on the Peace Committee and the international committee to note 
that President Buhari and APC have breached all the agreements in the 
peace accord.

For us in the PDP and indeed all Nigerians, we have now come to the 
breaking point where our members can no longer stomach the escalated 
onslaught of the Buhari Presidency and the APC. Nigeria belongs to all 
of us and we might have no option left in the present circumstance than 
to pull off our gloves.

The Peace committee and the International Criminal Court should hold 
President Buhari directly responsible for any break down of law and 
order in our country as Nigerians will never allow him to rig this 
election.
