…as PDP leads thugs to tribunal

Nigerians are urged to investigate the latest video choreographed by the Edo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), accusing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of attempting to arrest witnesses set to testify at the ongoing election petition tribunal. This blatant act of propaganda is yet another ploy by the PDP to curry public sympathy, and the judiciary may very well be their next target.

Today, the PDP deployed gun-wielding thugs to create chaos and discredit petitioners at the tribunal premises. This is just the beginning of their calculated plot to derail justice and manipulate public perception.

It is important that we verify these allegations before jumping to conclusions. The EFCC, a respected anti-graft agency, does not need dubious tactics to arrest individuals who lack immunity. If there were genuine grounds for arrests, the commission has the authority to act decisively without resorting to theatrics.

The goal of the PDP is clear: to manufacture a narrative of victimization and distract from the tribunal’s proceedings. This is not new – similar propaganda tactics have been deployed in the past by these desperate political actors.

If laws are violated, the agency will act within its constitutional powers and no drama would be required. The person in question was allegedly involved in financial transactions amounting to N6Billion and was needed for probe.

It is EFCC today, tomorrow, it would be the turn of the judiciary to be served this blackmail.
