Alleged Kidnapping Threat: APC Berates Lamido

The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday condemned hate speech by some political leaders describing such statements as unhealthy for democracy.

The party specifically faulted a statement credited to the Jigawa State governor Sule Lamido where he was quoted to have said “to break the APC all that is needed is to kidnap two leaders and the APC will break.”

Briefing newsmen in Abuja, director of Media and Communication of the party’s presidential campaign organisation, Mallam Garba Shehu, said such statement was unpalatable and should not come from such highly placed Nigerian like Governor Lamido.

Shehu said the party takes such threat serious especially when it is coming from a top chieftain of the ruling party.

He stated that the APC decided to alert Nigerians and the public about such a threat against its leaders and sensitise them against any eventuality.
