The All Progressives Congress (APC) has
called on the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) not to accuse President Buhari of
masterminding the raid on judges by
security agencies.r

The Department of State Services (DSS) raided
the houses of four judges on Saturday,

The party also called on security agencies to
always obey the rule of law when carrying out
their duties.

The APC in a statement issued by its national
Secretary, Mai Mala Buni, said “The All
Progressives Congress (APC) is concerned
about the desperation of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and some of its
governors to drag the President into
circumstances surrounding the reported raids of
the homes of some judges by the State Security
Service (SSS).

“The President Muhammadu Buhari APC-led
administration strictly respects the principle of
the Rule of Law and also adheres to the
constitutional provisions of Separation of Power
between the three arms of government.
“While the Party calls on all security agencies to
respect and be guided by the rule of law in
carrying out its constitutional duties, the APC
finds the actions of some PDP governors and
the reckless unsubstantiated allegations levelled
by the PDP on President Muhammadu Buhari as
the architect of the SSS raids curious and
suspicious.

“The APC suspects that the PDP and the Ekiti
and Rivers State governors, Ayodele Fayose and
Nyesom Wike have something to hide. This is a
red flag that security agencies must not ignore.

  Meanwhile, the APC will not to join issues on
matters before the courts because it will be sub
judice. We advice the PDP to tow the same line
and allow judicial processes run it normal and
legitimate course.

“The repeated allegations that ongoing
corruption investigations and trials are
politically-motivated by the President and the
APC are baseless. The APC urges Nigerians not
to be distracted by the PDP and their agents
plot to discredit the hugely-successful war
against corruption. For the umpteenth time, the
PDP does not have the luxury of dictating how
the current administration carries out its
legitimate duty of catching looters, as long as it
conforms to the rule of law. “Meanwhile, the
APC calls on security agencies to check the
continued and increased spate of politically-
motivated killings and violence being
perpetuated under the watch of the Rivers State
Governor Nyesom Wike and the PDP in the
state."
