Impunity,impunity again. Read this: Preye Aganaba It was learnt that they initially disrupted the meeting by asking the governors and others at the meeting to disperse or be arrested. It was learnt that when the governors insisted on continuing the meeting, the policemen moved away but stayed within the premises of the lodge. Both Kwakwanso and Lamido spoke on behalf of the governors in Hausa Language. But Oyinlola, who spoke in English, said that the meeting was a mere consultation by members of the New PDP. The former PDP national secretary of the PDP said the police held them hostage for several minutes, adding that they were astonished when the DPO told them that he was under instruction to disperse them . He said, “We were holding our meeting with the governors when the DPO of Asokoro came in to say that he had an instruction to disperse us from holding our meeting or else effect arrest. “We were surprised that in spite of the fact that the consultation on the resolution of the PDP crisis had been put on hold as a result of the pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Mecca. “And it was made known to all Nigerians that we will continue after the pilgrimage break. It is for the continuation of the reconciliation process that we were meeting here only for the DPO to come. “And we said okay if you had instructions that we should not hold the meeting, we were ready to be arrested.” He said he and the governors “ felt that it was the height of impunity for a DPO to have the guts to tell a group of governors to stop meeting. ” He said the situation was not that bad even during the military era. Asked what they told the DPO, he replied, “We told him that we were ready for arrest and that he should go and bring his troops to do so.” He said the DPO later walked away when he realised that the governors were adamant to continue with the meeting. The DPO, who dressed in a T-shirt, refused to speak with journalists. punchng/news/police-disrupt-rebel-governors-meeting-in-abuja/ Police disrupt rebel governors’ meeting in Abuja punchng
