PDP Presidential Campaign Spokesperson Kidnapped In Kogi State by kemzy036: 7:12am On Feb 23, 2019
As Nigerians decide today, February 23, 2019, who will be the sitting president on May 29, the Peoples Democratic Party has stated that its presidential campaign spokesperson in Kogi state, Austin Okai, has been kidnapped.


The party in its statement claimed that he was abducted on Friday night by armed thugs allegedly sent by the All Progressives Congress.

The spokesman of PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan in his statement called on the Inspector General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, to disband the checking point in Banda, Lokoja-Abuja highway, where the members of the opposition are being harassed and intimidated.


He called on the acting IGP to step into the matter so has to forestall the break down of law and order.

“This is because, if Mr Austin Okai and others are not immediately released by the APC, it would send a very wrong signal to the already agitated youth and lead to a resort to self-help.

“The PDP also alerts of the arrest of its ward chairmen in Rivers state by soldiers, particularly in Abua-Odual Local Government Area, ostensibly in compliance with the orders of the Buhari Presidency.


“The mass arrest in Rivers is coming on the heels of the clampdown of PDP members in Kano state with the arrest of our party leaders and campaign officials including our Senatorial candidate Ahmed Haruna Bichi and a serving member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Ahmed Garba Bichi.

“The PDP notes that these are two very volatile states and any act that suggests a clampdown by the authorities might lead to vehement resistance by the people and trigger crisis in the state.

“We call on Nigerians to note how the Buhari Presidency and the APC are pushing Nigerians to the wall and invite the international community to hold President Buhari directly responsible for these infractions against innocent Nigerians,” he said.
