As was widely reported on
Tuesday, the
Presidency may have
tactically commenced its
total clampdown on
members of the New
Peoples Democratic Party
and the G-7 Governors
oppose to the policies and
style of leadership under
President Goodluck
Jonathan.
As you read this, an event
centre in Abuja called A-
Park that is owned by
Sen. Aisha Al-Hassan, a
staunch member of the
factional PDP, which is
located near OAU
Quarters in Maitama,
Abuja, has been marked
for immediate demolition
by the authorities.
This is after one of the
Governors' landed
property was revoked and
another Governor's lodge
sealed.
Senator Al-Hassan had
been served a notice of
demolition by the Federal
Capital Territory. But she
insisted that she was
given permission to build
the event centre, adding
that she will be left with
no choice but to approach
the court.
Credible sources in Abuja obascotec
told that
more of such demolitions
will take place, using
agencies of government
under the control of the
Presidency until all the
G-7 governors agree to
support Jonathan and his
2015 ambition.
Reacting to the
victimization of its
members and supporters,
the New PDP said: “What
we have in the country is
the combination of
military and democracy,
which is militocracy. What
is happening is against
the dictates of chapter 4
section 40 of the 1999
Constitution which allows
freedom of association
and liberty to freely
associate .
“Democracy in Nigeria is
gradually under threat,
there are no longer rights
to association, this is not
good for the development
of democracy in the
country. This is like the
era of impunity. Atrocities
are gradually being visited
on our members because
of our decision to oppose
what is going in the PDP.
"But we cannot be
intimidated. We will
continue to fight for what
is right and just in the
country.”
