Some members of the House of Representatives have appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately order the arrest of National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole.
Acting under the aegis of Parliamentary Democrats Group (PDG), the group made the appeal in a statement signed by its spokesman, Hon Timothy Golu over the weekend.
The group accused the party boss of being a threat to the nation’s democracy and deploying “primitive” ways to denigrate the institution of the National Assembly.
PDG said Oshiomhole’s utterances and activities since he became APC chairman were capable of scuttling the nation’s democracy if left unchecked.

According to the group, “Oshiomhole has refused to sleep because he wants Senator Bukola Saraki removed as duly elected Senate President.”
This, the group said, is bringing “disgrace to Nigeria as a continental giant of democracy”.
The statement further read, “He is distracting our nation’s democracy and ridiculing us before the global democratic community. His style is too primitive for democracy.
“Let him come through the door with 2/3 of the Senators to legally achieve his selfish objective. What his ignorance would not allow him know is that even some APC Senators are not part of the charade. Access to democracy is not brigandage but respect to the rule of law and due process.
“Oshiomhole’s anti democratic utterances is making us a laughing stock. We advise him not to kill himself on Saraki as there is nothing he can do to subvert the law of democracy just to achieve an anti democratic goal.
“We call on President Buhari to immediately call him to order or direct the IGP Ibrahim Idris to arrest him so that peace can flow.
“He is destabilising the National Assembly with threats and the use of security agencies to haunt our leaders.”
