Reaction: PDP destabilization claim: show evidence-Restoration Group

March 21, 2009
 Following the Peoples Democratic Party’s press conference addressed by the party’s deputy national chairman, Dr. Bello Haliru Mohammed last Saturday in Abuja alleging that it had uncovered a plot by some Nigerians to destabilize the Yar’Adua government and the nation's democracy, the Restoration Group (RG) herein asks the PDP to provide substantiating evidence or face the law.

Even as Restoration Group (RG) regards this latest PDP effusion as a wild claim, we note the anarchic potential inherent such public pronouncements, particularly from the Party, PDP. We hence charge the PDP to prove with evidence within 48 hours that such a group of people and groups they named or implied had such a meeting, at all, anytime in the last month.

We regret that the very setting of a press briefing failed to extract tangible information from the PDP officer regarding his suspects; we however insist that the PDP must show further evidence to prove deeds of the named and implied persons and group to substantiate their allegation of a destabilization plot.


We state categorically that failing to do this could be taken that it is they of the PDP that are trying to create confusion in the country through this untoward creation of disaffection.

RG has been and remains a body of democratic-minded and patriotic professionals joined in the bid to transform Nigeria economically, politically and socially by institutionalizing values and active accountability politics in Nigeria as the means to Nigeria’s progress towards global acclaim.

 The RG strongly considers the PDP pronouncements a threat to security of all members of RG and so resolves to submit a report to the relevant organs of the United Nations and a number of other such organizations to indicate that the PDP is about to go the Sudan way in a process that appears beginning in this endeavor of theirs to ensure a silence of other voices.

We consider it important to alert the world of this maneuver, which many Nigerians easily recognize as stock-in-trade of the PDP; of falsely accusing patriotic citizens of subversive plots whereas it is indeed their early move in a process of initiating hostilities and perpetrate confusing in the system a purpose of theirs.

 We insist that government that is people oriented and accepted by its people should not be threatened by the gathering of opposition but it is common knowledge that PDP, a party with the highest record of inhuman policies and political shenanigan in the country, is busy snooping around the country for gathering of political oppositions and quick to accuse them of an attempt to destabilize the government.
