The All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Edo State has condemned the alleged kidnap of the People Democratic Party, (PDP) Chairman in the state, Dr Tony Azegbemwin.
The State APC Acting Chairman, Jarrett Tenebe, in a statement, said “The Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) received the news of the kidnap of the State Chairman of PDP, Dr. Tony Azegbemwin with rude shock and has profoundly condemned same, attributing this ugly development to the lack of strong and well oiled security architecture in the state.
“This is one kidnap too many in the State which signposts an overt reminder and wake up call on Governor Obaseki led administration that all is not well, in terms of securing the state which is the primary responsibility of government.
“That the chairman of the party of a sitting governor can be kidnapped, is a testament of the very porous, ill equipped, ill motivated security machinery in the state inspite of the humongous security vote being collected by Governor Obaseki on a monthly basis.
“The APC, Edo State chapter uses this medium to demand of the abductors, the immediate and unconditional release of the PDP chairman, while we call on the security agencies in the state to leave no stone unturned in the quest to ensuring his release unhurt.”
