The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) says the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, should arrest and prosecute the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Abdullahi Abbas, for alleged hate speech.
A viral video revealed Mr Abbas saying: “Attack and punish anybody you see trying to steal votes during the election in 2023. Take stiffer action into your hands and nothing will be done. I have ordered you to punish anybody seen before ballots boxes trying to rig the election, this is my punishment, and nothing will happen.
“I call on our party youths to keep their weapons for now as there will be a better time to use them.
Sagagi said this was not the first time Abbas will make such remarks, adding that “it has been his nature to make such inciting utterances. This is hate speech.”
