The
Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, five other Presidential aspirants,
alongside the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, were teargassed by the
Nigerian Police during a peaceful protest against the partiality of the
nation’s electoral body and the police during the governorship election in Osun
State which produced Mr. Oyetola as the winner.
The
protesters, which included presidential aspirants under the PDP, Senate
President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki; Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu
Tambuwal; former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido; and Senator Datti Baba
Ahmed had left the INEC Headquarters, and were approaching the Police
headquarters on a peaceful protest where they were met with police barricades
and live ammunition.
A
member of the PDP who spoke to us says: “This assault on leaders of our
nation’s main opposition party shows that our security forces have a
low-tolerance for dissenting voices in the country, meaning that we are not
safe in Nigerian anymore”.
