The People Democratic Party has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the political crisis in Ekiti State, where the All Progressives Congress lawmakers are alleged to making moves to impeach the state Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose.
The Acting National Chairman of the PDP, Chief Uche Secondus, who spoke on Monday with newsmen during a retreat organised for members-elect of the National Assembly in Port Harcourt, also called on the international community to intercede in the situation in Ekiti State.
Secondus accused the APC of planning to cause confusion in Ekiti and other PDP-controlled states, warning that such a step was detrimental to the survival of democracy in the country.
He wondered why the ruling party had decided to foment trouble in PDP-controlled states, adding that the ruling party was already boasting that it would dissolve the tribunals set up by the judiciary.
He added, “It is the plan of APC to cause crisis in Ekiti State. It is the plan of APC to systematically cause crisis in the PDP-controlled states and this will not augur well for democracy in Nigeria.
“If you recall, PDP has nurtured this democracy for 16 years and what we are having today, that has the rule of the game, they are now in power. They were not coerced; they were allowed freedom of press; rule of law was obeyed and today, Buhari is the President of our dear country.
We call on the President and we call on the international community to quickly look at what is happening in Ekiti. We ask that the rule of law be followed.
