The Lagos state chapter of PDP has accused the Minister of Information,
Lai Mohammed of instigating the persecution of the PDP National Publicity Secretary;
Chief Olisa Metuh.
In a press release signed Lagos State PDP Publicity Secretary, Taofik
Gani, he said that the arrest of the PDP National Publicity Secretary is only
being made convenient by the issue of money allegedly involved. Stating that
the minister of information who still sits as the National Publicity Secretary of the APC had vowed to
clamp down on the PDP publicity office superintended by the now arrested Olisa
Metuh.
This trend is dangerous and is the last resort to APC attempts
to compromise some of us. We have also been receiving funny calls from unknown
numbers of threats to our persons if we continue to expose the APC Governors.
Unless Olisa Metuh is approached within the Rule of Law and immediately granted
administrative bail pending any charge, we shall begin to seek asylum in safe
countries. This is no doubt a totalitarian government. And the World should be
informed"
According to the PDP; Lai Mohammed also got monumental sums from
Lagos state to promote the APC campaigns. It accused the APC of 'pot calling
kettle black' as the APC diverted billions of dollars meant for the completion
of the now moribund light rail project; ferry jetties; Eko Atlantic project; 20
million Dollars UNESCO grant; and also plunged the state into huge foreign debt
of over 3.6 billion dollars in order to capture the Presidency.
The PDP has therefore called on Lai Mohammed to allow
intellectual engagements rather than military-like engagements.
