Lagos State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned national leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu against attacking any of its members.
The party claimed that the former Lagos State Governor would be held responsible if any of its leaders, followers or governorship hopefuls was “again murdered like the late Funsho Williams”.
In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Taofik Gani, the party said it was reacting to a comment credited to Tinubu that Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro was concentrating more on politics than insecurity in the country.
PDP further described Tinubu’s public outburst as “not only irrational, but also a clear sign of a frustrated, diseased blackmailer and desperate emperor who wants to hold on to Southwest and Lagos State in particular.
“Indeed, it is the attitude of a drowning man, this time around struggling for political survival.
“On our part, we shall not underestimate the desperation of Tinubu. We however promise him that no hatchet plot against any of our members shall prosper.”
The party strongly warned Tinubu, to come to terms with the new political realities in the Southwest and Lagos in particular.
“One of such is to accept the expiry of his control and the political superiority of Senator Obanikoro to defeat him in a free and fair election.
“By the unwarranted public outburst of Tinubu attacking the person of Senator Obanikoro, our party member, we can now see that the frustration, desperation and drowning-man attitude has reached an embarrassing crescendo.
“This is long awaited required proof to confirm reports of Lagos APC clandestine meetings to blackmail, implicate or physically attack Lagos PDP members as we approach 2015 election which Tinubu is jittery to lose,” PDP added.
