While lauding President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to bring corrupt politicians to book, stakeholders has urged the president to investigate all past cases of politically motivated killings and the characters responsible for running the armed gangs that carried out killings.

Briefing journalists in Abuja, the national coordinator, New PDP Reformation Coalition and Support Group (NPRCCG), Mr Daniel Momoh said that in addition to welcoming the decision by President Buhari to reopen investigations into past politically motivated killings in the country, the group appeal for particular attention to be paid to the South-South.

He said that the protest was to draw the attention on the threat posed to the future of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) saying that if the strength of the PDP is diminished then it would not effectively function as a vibrant opposition.
‘’Behind the threat to the PDP is the inordinate ambition of PDP Vice Chairman South-South Zone, Dr Cairo Ojougboh in his quest to highjack the party for his selfish interest has contrived all manners of crisis to make sure the PDP dies. It appears the plan is for Dr Ojougboh to weaken the PDP and if possible rush it into oblivion to allow the APC operate without any credible opposition and thus set the ground for a large scale misrule of the country,’’ he said.

He noted that his experience in this field is not in doubt as he has successfully executed this on a micro scale in his Ika South local government area of Delta state where he practically decapitated the PDP even while he is a high ranking national officer of the party. A stakeholder of the party in the state, Chief (Elder) John Ehikwe adequately articulated Dr Ojougboh’s acts of treachery in the place and they are largely driven by personal greed.
He said, ‘’It is on record that Cairo Ojougboh runs the most deadly armed squad in the South-South, which is responsible for the deaths of Harry Marshal and Dikibo. The police must reawaken to the responsibility of productively investigating these deaths.

The investigation should also extend to attempted murders since it seems those behind such cases are bent on further strengthening their hands in the nation’s polity. We further appeal that the investigations should be accelerated to ensure that more lives are not lost to the killers walking free.

Pending the outcomes of the investigations into these killings and attempted murder, we urge genuine PDP stakeholders to take a critical look at the antecedent of Dr Ojougboh and demand that he properly clears himself of other outstanding questionable links to his past,” he added.
