The leading opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described the arrest of Senator Dino Melaye as a continuation of the alleged harassment of the leadership of the Senate by the government.

The remark was made on Wednesday in a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan.

The party said the assault on the leadership of the Senate followed the election in the Senate, of some key persons outside the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the executive arm of government.

He said the evidence of the party’s claim was evident in the arraignment of Senate President Bukola Saraki, Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and other senators “on trumped-up charges as well as attempts to rope in Ekweremadu on charges related to treason.”

“Today, we are witnessing the harassment and arrest of Sen. Dino Melaye, who is known for his support for the Senate leadership and his criticisms of the excesses of the executive arm.

“Currently, Senators Aliyu Wamakko, Rabiu Kwakwanso and Danjuma Goje are all being harassed for holding opinions that do not suit the whims and caprices of the executive.

“Only last week, the security architecture in the National Assembly was compromised, paving the way for the invasion of the Senate chambers by strangers who disrupted proceedings, harassed and threatened our lawmakers and forcefully took away the mace,” the party said.

PDP called on Nigerians to condemn the alleged harassment of the leadership of the Senate.

The action against the senators, the party alleged, was to subdue the leadership of the Senate.
