Oshiomhole Will Ruin The Peace In Bayelsa State With His Utterances – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole of instigating violence in Bayelsa State.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan came out recently to say that Oshiomhole saying no one would be sworn-in in Bayelsa State, contrary to the judgment of the Supreme Court is proof that he is ready for violence in the state.

According to Kola, the Inspector General of Police, Adamu Muhammad should “immediately pull in Oshiomhole for questioning and prosecution for incitement.”

He added that the APC leader must be brought to book and stopped from ruining the peace in the state with his utterances.

His words, “The violence and arson being perpetuated in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state capital, on Friday, was in furtherance of the Oshiomole’s statement was a direct call for sedition and violent subversion of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), the statutory authority of the Supreme Court and the mandate of the people of Bayelsa state.

“Oshiomhole must be brought to book and stopped from the use of garrulity and clear misuse of language to cause a crisis in our country.

“He should, therefore, be pulled in immediately for prosecution for inciting violence and arson in the state.”
