The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of “deliberate infractions and crass abuse of power” and has warned that there is no doubt that the “nation is on a quick slide into fascism and official terrorism”.
The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, on Saturday said the President Buhari-led regime has exhibited trappings of despotism, including “ruling without a constitutional component of a cabinet, persistent abuse of power, undermining of democratic institutions, invasion of state government and personal houses, injecting confusion into the judiciary and hounding of individuals perceived to be against its interests”.
The party expressed worry over the “relentless onslaught against democratic institutions, especially the growing tension trailing the quest to annex the National Assembly; for which the Presidency had since vowed not to recognize the current Senate leadership, in total disdain to the independence of the legislature and the principle of separation of powers”.
It further described as a mockery of reasoning, for President Buhari to condemn the recent coup in Burkina Faso whilst his government continues to violate the provisions of the constitution of his own country.
