A former governor of Kaduna State and Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has raised the alarm over the alleged plot to arrest and detain 80 members of the party.
He said the arrest was to stop them from participating in the forthcoming governorship and State House of Assembly elections especially after the arrest of three top PDP members in the State by security operatives over alleged inciting statements.
The former chairman of the PDP National Caretaker Committee, while reacting to the arrest of the Director of Media and Publicity, Kaduna state PDP Campaign Council, Saidu Adamu, and two other PDP officials, alleged that PDP is in possession of the list of those pencilled down for arrest before the Governorship and House of Assembly elections, rescheduled for March, 18, 2023.
A former Commissioner of Information in the State and two other PDP officials were reportedly arrested at Kabala-Costain Ward and detained by security operatives, for allegedly making comments on the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC government.
