TRACKING_____The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the Inspector General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, to immediately arrest the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, for questioning and prosecution for alleged incitement.
PDP said in a statement Friday by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan that the violence and arson in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital on Friday was as a result of Oshiomhole’s alleged inciting statement that no governor would be sworn-in in Bayelsa State, contrary to the judgment of the Supreme Court.
“Oshiomole’s statement was a direct call for sedition and violent subversion of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), the statutory authority of the Supreme Court and the mandate of the people of Bayelsa State.
“He should therefore be pulled in immediately for prosecution for inciting violence and arson in the state,” PDP demanded.
It recalled its warning on Oshiomhole over his utterances, which it said, would cause violence and a breakdown of law and order in the state.
The party alleged that people chanting APC slogans, assaulted the people of Bayelsa State, “set the PDP secretariat in the state ablaze, attacked the premises of Radio Bayelsa, vandalized vehicles and equipment, took over major highways and attacked travellers, all in the bid to violently subvert the judgement of the Supreme Court and forcefully take control of the state.”
