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.”
