The All Progressives Congress, APC Rivers state chapter has called for the arrest of and prosecution of the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh.
The party made the call in a statement issued by state chairman Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya in Port Harcourt.
The statement said, ''Olisa Metuh clearly crossed the line while addressing journalists in Abuja on Tuesday. His threat that PDP members across the country are willing and ready to take the laws into their hands if necessary to defend the party’s fictional mandate in Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Delta states is obviously a call to violence.
''Metuh should be invited for questioning by relevant security agencies and prosecuted for his vitriolic utterances. Metuh must be called to order. There is no basis for his inciting statement. APC, as a law-abiding party, is challenging the outcome of the so-called elections in the states mentioned through the only channel provided by law. So where is the basis for his call to violence? The time for PDP impunity is over. Metuh must be made to face the consequences of his reckless utterances''.
''We are with the good people of Rivers State and we shall stop at nothing to ensure that the mandate which they freely gave to the APC and our gubernatorial candidate, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, is recovered through the due process of the election petition tribunal''.
The statement concluded by urging Metuha nd other PDP chiefs ''who have ingloriously turned PDP from a national ruling party to a wobbling opposition regional party to concentrate their energies on how to rescue the fast-disintegrating party or watch it further nose-dive into a two-state party by 2019''.
