The All Progressives Congress (APC) says a governor in the
north-west is sponsoring bandits in the region.
The APC said this in reaction to a protest led by Uche
Secondus, national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), over the
abduction of some schoolboys from Kankara, Katsina state.
The schoolboys were released on Thursday night.
In a statement, Yekini Nabena, APC deputy spokesman, said
the opposition party is leveraging on the country’s security challenges to make
political gains.
Nabena said the country’s security agencies must be on the
alert over the plans to destabilise the north-west.
“Our security agencies have intelligence reports linking one
of the north-west governors of colluding and sponsoring the violent and
criminal activities of bandits in the zone,” he said.
“I won’t give details because of the sensitive and security
nature of the issue. However, relevant security agencies must as a matter of
urgency investigate the report and determine its veracity. Human life is not
what we should play political chess games with.
“We must shun enemies of the country including the PDP who
seek political gains from issues of insecurity.
“Our security agencies must also be alert to plots to
further destabilise the north-west region and frustrate the quick and safe release
of students abducted following late Kankara Katsina state: Student kidnapping
for [GSSS Kankara Katsina State] secondary school.”
In August, the Department of State Services (DSS) questioned
Obadiah Mailafia, a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN), after he claimed that a northern governor was sponsoring Boko Haram.
