PDP govs: Buhari sliding Nigeria to dictatorship
Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have asked the international community and civil society organisations to call the federal government to order.
Alleging that there seems to be “a steady slide of this country into a dictatorship”, the party condemned the alleged invasion of the Akwa Ibom state government house.
The governors said this in a communiqué issued at the end of a meeting in Bayelsa state on Tuesday.
“We all have a duty to prevent what looks to us like a steady slide of this country into a dictatorship”, said Olusegun Mimiko, governor of Ondo state and chairman of PDP governors, who read the communique.
“We implore the international community, the civil society organisations and human rights activists to caution the All Progressives Congress-led federal government and to insist that it respects the well entrenched democratic tradition.
“No democracy survives without a viable opposition in any part of the world, and we must also remember to remind the APC that they are the real beneficiaries of the liberal democratic ethos of the PDP.
“We once more advise the DSS to preoccupy itself with the task of ensuring internal security and desist from daily harassing and intimidating members of the opposition.
“We insist that the trend must stop henceforth.”
NIGERIA NEEDS BENEVOLENT and PROGRESSIVE DICTATORSHIP.
Bad habits from Colonial era can never be wiped out by being benign.
Only if Buhari were not an ETHNIC BIGOT, he would have fit Nigeria well
“Slide.” What do you mean by “slide?” Nigeria has been neck-deep in a dictatorship since May 29, 2015. Someone who has sworn to false affidavits since 1962 might swear to another oath to tell you otherwise but we have had totalitarianism for months.
The should know that we do not need dictator President, before long now people who express their opinion on issues will be hounede into jail or made to disapper. His body launguage is dangerous fo this country. I fear for my life ooo…..
