President Muhammadu Buhari had been advised to give directive for the immediate release of former governors of Jigawa, Benue and Niger states from detention.
The faction described the arrest a former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, on Sunday in Kano, as “outrageous, unwarranted and anti-democratic.”
“We are therefore calling on security agencies in the country to release unconditionally, ex-governor Sule Lamido, the former governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, former governor of Niger State, Dr Babangida Aliyu and all other political detainees in their custody. We are in a democracy and not a Gestapo state,” the spokesman of the Makarfi PDP faction, Prince Dayo Adeyeye said.
"For the record, President Muhammadu Buhari before the 2011 general elections made several inciting statements against rigging with grave consequences thereafter. He was neither arrested nor detained.
“Nigerians cannot also forget some inciting statements credited to President Buhari ahead of the 2015 general elections especially".
