PDP condemns demolition of Ayefele’s studio

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the demolition of a building belonging to the musical maestro, Yinka Ayefele, in Ibadan, by agents of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Oyo state government.

In a statement issued Kola Ologbondiyan, the National Publicity Secretary in Abuja on Sunday, PDP described 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 our Constitution allows all citizens right to free speech, freedom of opinion and association within the ambit of the law.

The party alerted 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 main opposition party, therefore, called on all public-spirited groups and individuals and groups to condemn the emerging assault on free citizens for no just cause.

“Nigerians must, at all time, be free to hold and canvass opinion, politically associate and aspire, as long as their actions are within the ambits of our laws,” it stated.
