.Condemns demolition of Aiyefele’s studio
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Nigerians to use this year’s Eid el-Kabir to support one another in the spirit of love, unity, sacrifice and dedication to the Almighty Allah as exemplified in the life of Ibrahim and the teachings of Holy Prophet Mohammed.
The party also called on the citizens to remember and assist the hurting, particularly, the sick, aged and victims of unfortunate violent attacks and natural disasters that have ravaged Nigeria in recent time.
The party also charged spiritual and political leaders across the country to use the occasion to shed all selfish proclivities and rededicate themselves to the service of the people, especially in the prudent and transparent management of the resources with which the Almighty Allah blessed the nation for the good of the people.
The PDP also said that Nigerians, across board, deserve to be happy and adequately provided for, with the suitable environment to aspire and
thrive in all sectors of life; the main reason all citizens must join hands to pray that the nation gets the right leadership.
The PDP therefore saluted all Muslim faithful and indeed the entire nation on the Eid el-Kabir and wished them a very happy celebration.
Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the demolition of a building belonging to musical maestro, Yinka Aiyefele, in Ibadan, by agents of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Oyo State government.
The PDP describeed the demolishing of the building, said to worth N800 million and which houses Aiyefele’s Flash FM and his recording studio, in spite of a court order, as horrifying, wicked and speaks volume of the insensitivity of the perpetrators.
The PDP noted that Aiyefele’s building was demolished for allegedly singing songs considered to be against the interest of the APC, even when the nation’s Constitution allows all citizens right to free speech, freedom of opinion and association within the ambit of the law.
The PDP alerts Nigerians of a dangerous trend whereby the current clampdown on the media is now being extended to other public opinion moulders, including musicians and perhaps actors.
The party therefore called on all public spirited groups and individuals and groups to condemn the emerging assault on free citizens for no just cause.
