Akwa-Ibom Invasion of Govt. House Uyo- DSS

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has said it will no longer tolerate the continued use of state apparatus of power by the APC-led Federal Government to harass its elected officials across the country.

The opposition party decried last Friday’s invasion of Akwa-Ibom State Government House, Uyo, by the Department of State Services (DSS).
 
This, it maintained, is in violation of the constitutional immunity of the government house.
Olisa Metuh, PDP National Publicity Secretary, in a statement on Sunday, cautioned that the invasion and other flagrant abuse of power by the APC-led Federal Government were clear recipes for constitutional crisis, civil unrest and avoidable anarchy in the land.

He therefore called on Nigerians and the international community to take note of the incidents.
The party claimed that its investigations had shown that the DSS acted on orders from the Presidency, saying this was “a desperate bid to destabilise and forcefully take over Akwa-Ibom and other PDP states.

“If such terror can be unleashed on a state government, one can only imagine the fate of regular citizens in the hands of this administration that has continued to show unparalleled disdain for constitutional order, with heinous penchant for oppression.”
The party recalled similar action by the police in July, where they sealed local councils in Rivers State and barred caretaker committees lawfully appointed by the state government from taking charge of the councils.
