The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday condemned the invasion of the Akwa Ibom government house by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, describing the scenario as a reincarnation of the dark era of Lawal Rafindadi in the defunct National Security Organisation. NSO.
The acting National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, who disclosed in this while receiving the Bayelsa State governor, Seriake Dickson, who led a delegation to submit his governorship reelection forms at the national headquarters of PDP in Abuja.
''Again, we want to alert this nation that this is part of the strategy of APC and its Federal Government to forcefully take Akwa-Ibom, Rivers, Abia and Taraba States by force because they are not satisfied with the control of the Federal Government,'' Secondus said. ''They still want to take over by force all the states controlled by PDP. This nation belongs to all, to both PDP and APC a situation where consistently, the DSS has assaulted states controlled by PDP, the international community should be aware of what is going on. Is this democracy? Is this how PDP ruled in 16 years? Enough is enough. We want to advise and point out to the President that we will not tolerate this anti-democratic arrangement by APC and DSS because it will be a reincarnation of Rafindadi days when he was in charge of SSS. This is exactly the format. Daura is a reincarnation of Rafindadi. And Nigerians are not ready for what happened 30 years. This is a clear warning that they should desist from taking laws into their hands.''
The PDP believes the motive behind the move by DSS is to kidnap the governor of the state, Udom Emmanuel.
