Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has advised the police to release Chika Nwoba, Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State.

Saraki likewise lambasted the Governor Dave Umahi-led federal government, keeping in mind that “act of injustice” is being “promoted and passed off by those in power in Ebonyi.”

A statement by his media workplace at the weekend decried the spokesperson’s arrest for “circulating false information.”

Saraki condemned the brutality by Ebube Agu, the security clothing which chose Nwoba before the intervention of the authorities.

A circumstance where a resident was unexpectedly seized, beaten to a stupor and apprehended for a number of weeks, “is an assault on democracy”, he stated.

The former Kwara State Governor revealed frustration that injustice has actually gone beyond every facet of the country.

Insisting Nwoba should have the right to fair hearing, Saraki said he has actually been controversially remanded after an arrest which started like a kidnap.

“He has actually been avoided from fulfilling any member of his family. My compassion goes out to his wife and kids who need to be going through a bumpy ride at the minute.

“Mr Nwoba is a devoted member of our fantastic party, PDP, and he is paying the price of speaking truth to power.

“Without any doubt, this is another collective effort to silence the opposition and undermine democracy.

“This act of injustice being promoted and passed off by those in power in Ebonyi, is nothing but an attack on our democracy and our liberty as residents because an injury to one is an injury to all.

“This is a time for each well suggesting Nigerian and most specifically the leaders of our party, the PDP, to stand and stand with one of our own.”

Saraki informed the public that Nigeria should be saved from the bad luck wreaked by oppression and miscarriage of justice.

The former SP included that with the case in a Magistrate court, he hopes justice will be dispensed without delay and without any hold-up.

In late January, the PDP implicated Umahi of letting loose terror on its members and other dissenting voices.

Umahi “is using a greatly armed killer team, disguising under the Ebube Agu security clothing, as a political weapon”, stated National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba.
