The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has asked the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, to arrest the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole, for allegedly inciting violence over the Supreme Court judgment which nullified the election of David Lyon in favour of Douye Diri.
The PDP made the demand following statements credited to Oshiomhole where he said nobody should be sworn in as governor and later faulted INEC for issuing a certificate of return to Diri.
The PDP urged the IGP to immediately bring in the APC National Chairman for questioning and prosecution for incitement.
The spokesperson the main opposition party, Kola Ologbondiyan, blamed the utterances of Oshiomhole for the violent protests that erupted over the recent political development in the state.
Ologbondiyan accused Oshiomhole of inciting a call that no governor would be sworn-in in Bayelsa state, contrary to the judgment of the Supreme Court.
The party also asked Nigerians and the security agencies to hold Oshiomhole responsible for the violence in Bayelsa state and deal with him accordingly in line with the provisions of our laws.
