Olisa Metuh spokesman of PDP




January 04, 2016 – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that contrary to reports in the media, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh was neither invited nor interrogated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Special Assistant to Metuh, Mr. Richard Ihediwa said in a statement that If indeed, the report is from the EFCC, then it should be noted that only in a period of tyranny are people investigated on the pages of the newspapers as a prelude for abuse and violation of their freedom and rights under the law.

“This office wishes to state categorically that the EFCC has never invited the National Publicity Secretary nor questioned him on any matter whatsoever since its inception.

“It is instructive to observe that a mere media campaign of calumny does not in anyway whatsoever translate to any evidence of guilt. It is rather an evidence of infringement on the rights of the citizenry and manifestation of the reign of tyranny”, the statement said.

It noted that where there are issues that require investigations by such agencies, invitations are duly extended.
“However, to read daily of people being investigated in select newspapers betrays plots to portray them as guilty of fraud and crime, and targeted to convey the PDP as a corrupt party and the APC as party of Nigerians without sin.

“If we now have a system where citizens get to be investigated, tried and executed by planting stories in select newspapers, wherein then lies the need for our judicial process?”, the statement said.
