The Kaduna State chapter of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC)
government of Governor Nasir El-Rufai of allegedly masterminding the recent
attack on journalists in the state.
Some journalists and a faction of
the APC stalwarts loyal to Senator Shehu Sani were attacked penultimate week.
Paying a sympathy visit to the
state secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), PDP Chairman in
the state, Felix Hassan Hyet, accused the APC of allegedly using thugs to
threaten and intimidate party members.
He, therefore, warned the APC to,
“stop playing politics of bitterness and learn how to nurture the youths to
become useful and productive instead of engaging them as hoodlums.”
He expressed sadness over the
injury inflicted on a photojournalist by the thugs who were allegedly sponsored
and induced by a highly placed politician in the state.
State chairman of the NUJ, Adamu
Yusuf, said such attack had never happened in the history of the Union in
Kaduna and commended the PDP for identifying with the NUJ in its difficult
moment.
