The spokesman for the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh, claims there is a plan by the Federal Government to silence him as the spokesperson of the opposition party.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Mr Metuh urged the ruling All Progressives Congress’ government not to use state powers to settle personal scores.
He said: “In the last seven months, as opposition spokesperson, I have been hounded, harassed, intimidated and threatened severally.
“In order to avoid personal and family pressure, I have refrained from bringing them to public domain.
However, on account of information available to me, I now have cause to believe that the Federal Government is desperate and may have finalised plans to silence me”.
