The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Wednesday read the Riot Act to the Buhari-led Federal Government over what it described as ill-conceived plan to jail 50 of its key members ahead of the 2017 general elections.
This was contained in a statement by its national publicity secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye while solemnly declaring to resist any form of "tyranny or harassment.''
Further in the statement, Prince Adeyeye called on all well-meaning Nigerians to "challenge the government's attempt to turn Nigeria into a gestapo state"
The PDP, he said, is fighting corruption but only scapegoating members of the opposition party for the ineffectual anti-corruption agenda of the current government.
"The latest needless onslaught against our party members is the plan by the APC government at the centre to incarcerate 50 members of our party before the end of this year with a view to using their arrest to deceive Nigerians that the failed anti-corruption war is still on course.
"The dirty job we are aware, have been handed over to the compromised anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
"Already, five members of our party have been illegally arrested and detained by EFCC without any charge preferred against them.
"Who the rest 45 members to be picked up are, we cannot say in the immediate. However, we are by no means scared of the persecution by the Buhari administration as we are sure that the daylight is about to break after the dark night of the APC administration.
"The current wave of arrests therefore has nothing to do with the failed anti-corruption war but everything with 2019 elections.
