PDP’s allegations on DSS raids baseless –APC

 

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against dragging President Muhammadu Buhari into the raids on the homes of some judges by the Department of State Services (DSS).

 

The ruling party, in a statement by its National Secretary, Hon. Mai Mala Buni, said it finds the actions of some PDP governors and the reckless unsubst

 

antiated allegations levelled by the PDP on President Buhari as the architect of the raids curious and suspicious.

 

The party maintained that the Buhari administration strictly respects the principle of the rule of law and also adheres to the constitutional provisions of separation of power between the three arms of government. While calling on the security agencies to respect and be guided by the rule of law in carrying out its constitutional duties, APC insisted that the PDP does not have the luxury of dictating how the current administration carries out its legitimate duty of catching looters, as long as it conforms to the rule of law.

 

“The APC suspects that the PDP and the Ekiti and Rivers states governors, Ayodele Fayose and Nyesom Wike, have something to hide. This is a red flag that security agencies must not ignore. “The repeated allegations that ongoing corruption investigations and trials are politically-motivated by the president and the APC are baseless. The APC urges Nigerians not to be distracted by the PDP and their agents plot to discredit the hugelysuccessful war against corruption.”
