PDP Leaders : Buhari, Judiciary, INEC Behind Our Electoral Woes

President Muhammadu Buhari, the judiciary, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Department of State Services (DSS) yesterday came under fresh attack from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the party’s recent electoral reverses in Rivers and Akwa Ibom States.

The PDP accused the Buhari administration of politicising and compromising critical institutions, including the judiciary, DSS and INEC, for the purpose of subverting democracy in the country.

The party’s national caucus, rising from an emergency meeting in Abuja on Thursday, where it reviewed the judgements of the Akwa Ibom and Rivers State Election Petition Tribunals, said the behaviour of the President and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) constitutes a huge threat to the nation’s democracy and danger to its peace, unity and progress.

It did not spare the National Assembly which it claimed was being intimidated by the executive arm of government.

In a communique issued at the end of the meeting, the PDP National Secretary, Prof. Wale Oladipo, said the APC-led government has eroded the ‘gains’ recorded by the PDP in its 16 years in the saddle.
