Kwara Peace Initiative (KPI) has told Kwara State People’s Democratic Party (PDP) that kidnapping and abducting supporters of the government will not win it the 2023 gubernatorial election.
The group carpeted Tajudeen Alabi former Special Adviser on Security to former Senate President Bukola Saraki over his recent attempt to silence citizens from showing the rots of the PDP government during their locust years.
“We condemn outright the attempt by the PDP leaders in the state to silence supporters of government. We are very concerned about the news that they have started abducting people who support the government and expose the rots of the past. This is unhealthy politics. Politics is not about intimidating people. Even the ruling government does not intimidate opposition the way the opposition want to be doing now. Their leaders are free to go in and out of the state and ventilate their opinions.
“Therefore, Tajudeen Alabi should be warned seriously to avoid this destructive politics he is playing in cahoots with some security officers he had known since his days as SA Security under Bukola Saraki. He has no right to arrest fellow citizen in his private car. He has no right to write petition on behalf of anybody.
“The DSS, Police and Civil Defence should be aware of this new trend of abducting people who support the government by the PDP. This is exactly what they did when the 2019 election was drawing closer. The safety of any citizen must never be jeopardize for political purposes.
“We hereby urge the security agencies to put Tajudeen Alabi in their watchlist. According to information at our disposal, he is very notorious for carrying out this barbaric action. In fact, the security agencies should thoroughly search his house to be sure he has not put anybody under siege. Finally, if anything should happen to Ahmed Shooto or anybody supporting the government, Tajudeen Alabi will be held responsible.”
