Oyo Kidnap: APM questions APC over ‘reported bandit links’
The opposition party said the debate had moved beyond Makinde’s appeal for an international probe, arguing that the intensity of the backlash from APC leaders had shifted attention to why some political figures appeared uncomfortable with an independent investigation into one of the country’s most disturbing security incidents.
As Yusuf put it: “Governor Makinde’s demand for international probe on this act of terrorism against Nigerians did not undermine the sovereignty of our nation as claimed by APC leaders; rather, it reinforces our sovereignty in the global arena by strengthening Nigeria’s collaboration with international partners in the fight against terrorism, which is an international crime against humanity.
The party insisted there was nothing unusual about seeking international support in the fight against terrorism, maintaining that Makinde’s request neither diminished Nigeria’s sovereignty nor cast doubt on its institutions.
