The Peoples Democractic Party (PDP) has accused President Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) of initiating mayhem and bloodletting in Akwa-Ibom State.
The premises of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly was sealed off by the police with no reason given for the action.
Addressing a Press Conference in Abuja on Wednesday, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan said President Buhari and the APC were planning to forcefully take over the control of the state.
“….Buhari Presidency and the APC have continued to design heinous machinations and issuing threats of violent take over of these states, for which they have now directed their arsenals particularly on Akwa-Ibom state.
“Part of the plot is the forceful attempt to take over control of the Akwa-Ibom state legislature, for which the Presidency and the APC have been sponsoring the invasion of the House of Assembly complex and seeking ways to violently oust the duly elected leadership of the state assembly
The PDP also accused the former Governor of the State, Godswill Akpabio of threathning to “take over the state the same way Hitler overran Poland, swearing that “war shall see Warsaw and Warsaw shall see war” in Akwa-Ibom state.
Ologbondiyan also said the PDP has information of how ”the APC ordered the Inspector General of Police to redeploy the former commisioner of Police in the state, John Abang for refusing to carry out APC’s atrocious directives.
The PDP said any attempt to overrun the state will be resisted just as it advised the President and the APC to be ready to take full responsibility for any breakdown of law and order as “direct consequences of the people’s resistance to their plot to forcefully take over control of Akwa-Ibom or any of the PDP-controlled states.
