The President of the Nigeria League of Veteran Journalists (NILVEJ Chief Oliver Okpala has called for the immediate arrest and interrogation of a former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

Chief Okpala was reacting to the viral video where the former Edo Governor was seen allegedly inciting people against the Buhari led federal government during a campaign rally. Okpala also described the act as anti-party, being a member of the APC which has President Buhari as leader.

He said: “This is pure anti-party activity and criminal incitement of the citizens against the president and the federal government, simple. He should be arrested and charged, this is no longer political talks. Watch it, I am not a politician but a patriotic true Nigerian. “
