The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has to arrest and prosecute Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for alleged graft and drugs related issues.
The opposition party at a press briefing, yesterday, in Abuja reiterated its demand and asked the Economic and Finance Crimes Commission (EFCC), the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), the police, Department of State Service (DSS), and Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) for Tinubu to withdraw from the contest.
In a statement jointly signed by Dele Momodu, director, strategic communication; Paul Ibe, media adviser to PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar; Daniel Bwala, campaign spokesperson; Phrank Shaibu, special assistant to Atiku on public communication and Charles Aniagwu, campaign spokesperson and read by Shaibu, the PDP-PCC said there were several allegations against the APC candidate and that it was imperative for the law enforcement agencies to arrest and prosecute Tinubu.
It also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to read “the riots act to agents of the government from interfering with the election. Any effort to intimidate opposition is an effort to interfere with the conduct of a peaceful elections.”
However, the APC Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), dismissed the call for the arrest and prosecution of its principal by the NDLEA, EFCC and other security agencies, as it noted that Nigerians would not be swayed by deliberate falsehoods and lies the PDP PCC keep manufacturing against its candidate to deceive the public.
Corroborating Bwala, another spokesman for the PDP campaign, Phrank Shaibu, also alleged that Tinubu was still involved in illegal drug related business as recently as 2015.
He added that Tinubu transferred $4.3m US dollars to a briefcase company based in Colombia.
