Akpabio Alleges Opposition Sponsoring Kidnappings to Discredit Nigeria’s Security
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has accused political opponents of orchestrating insecurity in Nigeria by sponsoring criminal activities, including kidnappings, to undermine the current administration.
Speaking at a public event, Akpabio claimed that critics who are unable to highlight failures in government projects, performance, or legislative achievements have resorted to desperate tactics. According to him, these individuals are allegedly recruiting young people to cause unrest and create a false impression that the country is unsafe.
According to him
When they realize that they cannot talk about project, when they realize they cannot talk about performance, when they realize they cannot talk about good laws, when they realize they cannot talk about the transformation in the petroleum industry, they now started resorting to paying more young people, recruiting them to cause mayhem across the country.”
So I want you all who are here to be very vigilant. Be careful about people trying to k+dnap for ransom. They are k+dnapping in order to cause distraction. They are k+dnapping in order to give the impression that Nigeria is not safe,”Our men and women in uniform have done tremendously well. I’m aware of that, but many people will not know. And that is why I keep saying that the devil you see today, you will soon see them no more
Elections will come and go, elections will never be our end. We will see the end of elections, elections will never see our end,”
