The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Kaduna State Chapter, is compelled to bring to the public’s attention the egregious actions of the Nigerian Security forces at the behest of Governor Uba Sani.
In a shocking display of desperation, Operation Fushin Kada – a joint security network under the Kaduna State Government – laid siege to the City Den Hotel in Malali, broke into a room in a bid to whisk away the Chairman of the PDP Campaign Council, Hon. Hussein Ahmed-Kero, and when they could not find him, they abducted the PDP candidate for the Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency bye-election, Princess Esther Ashivelli Dawaki, and 25 others.
The PDP condemns this brazen act of harassment, intimidation, and insanity by the APC and demands the immediate and unconditional release of its candidate and all others being held hostage.
We call upon the Inspector General of Police, the Director General of the Department of State Services, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Defence Staff, and the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to intervene and put an immediate end to this egregious abuse of power.
We also urge civil society organizations and all lovers of democracy to rise up against this blatant attack on our democracy and constitution in Kaduna State. For the avoidance of doubt, the PDP will not be intimidated or silenced.
We, therefore, demand justice and the protection of our members’ rights and also urge the people to stand firm and resist any attempt to intimidate or harass them or tamper with the process or outcome of the elections across all the polling units in the respective constituencies where the elections will be held.
The APC’s actions signal that the party is heading towards defeat, hence its resort to this show of force, akin to the last kick of a dying horse.
We wish to state, however, that no amount of intimidation can save the APC from its rejection by the people, even as the PDP will continue to stand up for their rights and freedoms. We will continue to provide updates on this and other issues.
Signed,
Sir Edward Percy Masha
