The Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) on Friday expressed worry over allegation by former President
Olusegun Obasanjo, accusing the Federal Government of plotting to arrest him on
trumped up charges.
Obasanjo, who raised
the alarm in a statement issued by his spokesman, Kehinde Akinyemi, cited his
persistent criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration as reason
for his travail.
The PDP, in a statement
issued by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, few hours after Obasanjo raised the
alarm, said the revelation coming from a man of Obasanjo’s status, was
terrifying.
According to PDP, the
development has heightened tension in the polity and confirmed the party’s
fears that the nation has descended into a police state where any Nigerian, who
holds a divergent view to President Buhari’s 2019 re-election bid, becomes
endangered.
