– The group urges the president to concentrate on governance
– It warned that critic of the administration should not be intimidated
The Peoples Democratic Party National Youth Frontier (PDPNYF) has warned President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to desist from intimidating Governor Ayodele Fayose and other persons who do not agree with their agenda.
The governor of Ekiti has been a vocal critic of the Buhari-led administration and the APC has accused him of being a threat to the country.

Okai Austin who is the national coordinator of the group said in Abuja that any attempt to silence opposition is “a step towards the draconian era of military rule”

Okai said: “President Muhammadu Buhari must realize that he is a beneficiary of democracy hence the least expected of him is to protect the rights of fellow citizens as that in itself is a constitutional responsibility he bears and must discharge to the fullest.”
“Nigerians have seen and are still seeing the extent this government can go to silence the opposition. What is happeneing in Ekiti State is alien in every ideal democratic setting. As I speak, some members of the legislature in Ekiti State have taken to hiding for fear of being assassinated by the DSS. Nigerians saw the kind of brutal force the APC utilized during the Bayelsa and Rivers States elections wherein Nigerians were brutally killed under unclear circumstances. As at now, no one has being brought to book.”
The PDPNYF leader alleged that there were reports that members of the APC were under the watch list of the DSS.
“We are aware party men like Ayo Fayose, Deji Adeyanju and some other loyalists are on the watch list of the DSS. Nothing must happen to them because we are aware of how intolerant this government is and the extent it can go to cover up its failures and excesses.”
“The DSS is loosing its honour and integrity. The elite security outfit is now the militia wing of the APC. They feel the only persons capable of causing breakdown of order are members of the PDP, therefore no other group deserves to be monitored including Fulani herdsmen and the Boko Haram terrorist group.”

He noted that there were important issues before the president which he must address.
“There are several important issues the President should face like the biting fuel scarcity, unemployment and erractic power supply. We cannot continue to put up with a President who spends more time on the air than he does at home contrary to his campaign promise. Nigerians are suffering due to his nonchalance. He should therefore spend more time addressing their problems than chasing the PDP that is only living up to its status as the biggest opposition party in Africa.”
