Alhaji Isa Ashiru, the PDP’s candidate for governor, has a poor knowledge of insecurity, according to the Kaduna State APC Campaign Committee, and his proposed solution will have terrible effects.
In an interview, Isa Ashiru offered to approach bandits and invite them to a round table as part of his efforts to reduce security in Kaduna state if elected governor, according to a statement from the campaign committee.
Ashiru’s idea was referred to in a statement released on Wednesday by the director of strategic communication, Malam Ibraheem Musa, as “a trivial solution to deep security and socio-political dilemma which manifests in criminality.”
The APC reminded the PDP candidate for governor that bandits have been officially designated as terrorists by the federal government in the “Terrorism (Prevention) Proscription Order Notice, 2021,” which is published in Volume 108 of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Official Gazette.
