Ekiti Guber: Senator Natasha condemns alleged arrest of PDP members by APC

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has strongly condemned what she described as the alleged arrest of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State. The senator asserted that the APC is employing tactics to suppress opposition ahead of the upcoming governorship election.

Speaking out against the alleged actions, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan accused the APC of using state machinery to intimidate and detain PDP members. She stated that such actions are unacceptable and undermine the democratic process in the state. The senator emphasized that the PDP is committed to a free and fair election.

However, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has vehemently dismissed the accusations. A spokesperson for the APC called the allegations "laughable" and stated that the party has no need for manipulation to secure victory in the polls. The APC maintained that their campaign is focused on presenting their platform and achievements to the electorate.

The PDP has called for an immediate investigation into the alleged arrests and urged security agencies to remain impartial. The party insists that its members should be allowed to participate freely in the electoral process without fear of harassment or intimidation.
