Olisa Metuh, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spokesman, says he is willing to surrender himself to the Department of State Services (DSS) for a probe. He was responding to Saturday’s allegation by aggrieved PDP staff accusing him of extortion and impunity, as well as of sabotaging the party at every turn.
They also alleged that he squandered N70 million, an amount he received in July, which he claimed would be used for fighting the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the media.
But in response Metuh said: “We are aware that the anti-PDP forces have easily found a handful of disgruntled PDP staff as willing tools to attack Chief Metuh with a view to bringing him to public odium, distract him and deny our party a credible voice to propagate its positions. “These forces had even gone to the extent of engineering some discontented PDP members to portray statements by the National Publicity Secretary as his personal opinions in the attempt to discredit and intimidate him. “For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that the National Publicity Secretary will not be deterred or detracted by such threats and cheap blackmails, as he remains committed to his role in the rebuilding of the PDP and in providing firm, credible and issue-based opposition to the ruling party".
