In a statement released by the People’ Democratic Party (PDP), The party says Tanimu Turaki’s arrest and detention is part of the grand plot by the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to use state apparatus of power to intimidate PDP leaders and scuttle PDP’s determination to reclaim their Presidential election victory of February 23rd, 2019, in court.
