The Bola Tinubu-Kashim Shettima Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has called for the arrest of two spokespersons for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dino Melaye and Dele Momodu, as well as the Presiding Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Pastor Paul Enenche. The PCC has accused the trio of inciting violence and called on security agents to be vigilant and deal with individuals and groups who are planning to cause trouble.

During a media briefing on Monday evening, the Special Adviser for Media and Communication at the PCC, Dele Alake, stated that both domestic and international observers have deemed the election and its process as credible. He also noted that the emerging results are countering the opposition’s deceit and propaganda, which did not yield the expected votes.

The PCC’s call for the arrest of the PDP spokespersons and the presiding pastor is based on their alleged role in inciting violence. The organization has urged security agents to remain vigilant and take appropriate action against those who plan to foment trouble. The spokesperson emphasized the importance of a peaceful election and called on all stakeholders to cooperate to ensure a smooth process.

“This has expectedly generated anxiety in their camps with many of their leaders making irresponsible incendiary comments.
“We note with utmost concern those inciting comments and call to violence by some spokespersons of the opposition, especially those from the Peoples Democratic Party PDP
“We are particularly concerned and call on the State Security Services and the Nigeria Police Force to immediately restrain persons such as Dino Melaye, Dele Momodu and Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis Church from their clear call to violence.
“Melaye’s tweet threatening violence, Momodu going on the TV to announce a purported winner and Enenche’s hate speech from the pulpit violate every law of the land. They should not go scot-free.
“When failure stared them in the face, rather than accept the outcome with dignity like good democrats would, some sore losers began shopping for ways to cut corners or scuttle the process.
“We have seen many doctored results giving false victory to the Labour Party in places where it performed abysmally poor. The idea was to give its followers hope and prepare them for a planned street insurrection.
“The PDP has employed almost similar tactics despite secretly admitting defeat. They went about with mouthwatering offers looking for willing partners that would help them subvert the will of the people,” the APC added.
