Aso Rock Video: Quiz Oshiomhole, Gambari -PDP

By GWG Staff

The Peoples Democratic Party National Campaign Council for Edo Governorship Election has called out for the arrest of the erstwhile National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Adams Oshiomhole and the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari over allegations of a clampdown on the opposition ahead of the Edo governorship election.

The party said that questioning the two men would help to address fears arising from a trending video that showed the two men discussing issues the PDP said related to arrest of the opposition in Edo State ahead of the poll.

The Campaign Council in a statement issued by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondinyan said:

“Nigerians were alarmed by the video in which Oshiomhole was seen emphatically urging the Chief of Staff to Mr. President on the need to clampdown on certain unnamed Nigerians to achieve political suppression and submission ahead of the Edo election.

“Our National Campaign holds that the presence and involvement of the Chief of Staff to the President and the fact that the discussion held within the precincts of the Presidential Villa, have made the Presidency complicit and place a huge burden on President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Already, there is anxiety in the public space that the discussion between Oshiomhole and Prof. Gambari as captured in the video is an extension of discussions that must  have held behind closed doors in the Presidential villa.

“The video has validated earlier revelations of plots by Oshiomhole and the APC governorship candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, to use compromised security operatives being mobilized by certain individuals in the Presidency, to arrest innocent Nigerians, including traditional, faith-based and community leaders on trumped up charges, ahead of the Edo election.

“It also confirms our stance that Adams Oshiomhole and the APC candidate have completely lost ground in Edo state, hence the plot to clamp down on the people.

“Nigerians and the people of Edo State now know those to hold responsible should there be cases of illegal arrests, assassinations and unexplained killings, sudden disappearances of prominent people, accidental discharge by federal security operatives and mysterious accidents in the course of this Edo governorship election.

“The PDP National Campaign Council on Edo governorship election charges President Buhari to reassure Nigerians by immediately ordering that Adams Oshiomhole and Prof. Gambari be pulled in for questioning over the video.

“Anything short of a decisive action on this matter will further indict the Buhari Presidency especially coming on the heels of public anxiety over Mr. President’s widely condemned comment on the use of security forces for elections.”
