The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole has said that the rumoured third term bid of President Muhammadu Buhari was planted by the Peoples Democratic Party.

Oshiomhole, who addressed State House correspondents after a closed-door meeting with the President in Abuja, stressed that most Nigerians are yet to forget what the PDP tried to do to promote the third term agenda while in power.

He alleged that the former president who tried to do the third term, emptied the treasury to bribe members of the National Assembly.

Adams Oshiomhole noted that he had been under attack by some party member because of his performance.

Mr. Femi Falana asked the counsel to release the embattled Shiite leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky in line with the President’s promise to respect the rule of law.

 Falana’s request is contained in his letter to the Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami were he alleged that the AGF gave contradictory reasons to justify the continued detention of the IMN leader.

He asked that the Federal High Court presided over by Justice             Kolawole now at the Court of Appeal had on December 2016 declared as illegal and unconditional the arrest and detention of Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat.

The senior lawyer also made reference to the recent release of Omoyele Sowore and Sambo Dasuki from custody, insisting that some measure of action should be metered out on El-Zakzaky.

The IMN leader and his wife have been in detention since 2015, when some of his followers clashed with soldiers in Zaria, Kaduna state.
