The Zamfara state chapter of Peoples Democratic Party PDP has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari, Inspector General Of Police, DSS, Civil Defence others, to come into their aid over the indiscriminate arrest of its members.
The acting chairman of the party in the State Alhaji Mukhtar Lugga made the appeal while addressing journalists on the political happenings in the state, saying that the state government in collaboration with some security agencies are arresting their members on trump up charges.
He said ambassador Mairiga Muhammad has been in prison for over a month all in an attempt to muzzle PDP in the state .
Lugga disclosed that of recent, the senatorial candidate of Zamfara central of the party Alhaji Ikra Aliyu Bilbis who was a former Minister was arrested and taken to court on the allegation of destruction of APC billboard in the state capital and stringent conditions were placed for his bail which cannot be met.
The acting chairman added that, the democracy is being threatened in Zamfara by the action of the state government with the connivance of some security.
He called on the Inspector General of police to call his men to order as the party perceived they are working with the state government to deny the PDP its political right to interact with the electorate freely.
"I am appealing to INEC and all relevant agencies, international communities and the Federal Government to intervene as democracy is currently under threat in Zamfara.
" Everybody knows that our party PDP is a law abiding party and I am appealing to our supporters to remain calm and law abiding as the leadership is doing everything humanly possible to overcome the situations". Lugga concludes.
