Opposition Party, PDP Petitions Nigerian Police, DSS To Arrest Kano State Chairman, Sagagi For Alleged ImpersonationThe Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called for arrest of the Kano State Chairman, of the party, Shehu Sagagi, for alleged impersonation and contempt of court.
However, the secretary of the Kano PDP caretaker committee, Baba Lawal Aliyu in a press conference in Kano, drew the attention of the police to an Appeal Court judgement that set aside Sagagi-led executives thereby returning the party to its status quo before a Federal High Court judgement that put them in place.
Baba Lawal Aliyu who made references to incidences where Sagagi addressed himself as the Kano chairman of the PDP, including live programmes on national television thereby violating the order of the Appeal Court, described the actions of Sagagi as capable of breeding violence in the state if the police did not enforce the law on him.
“Most recently, Shehu Wada Sagagi appeared at the State Police Command Headquarters in an event organised to harp on the peaceful democratic process and the signing of a peace accord for Kano State Parties, Chairmen and Gubernatorial candidates. Shehu Sagagi presented and held out himself as chairman of the PDP in Kano State at that event despite knowing that the only judgement of the court that recognised him as such has been set aside by the Appeal Court, Abuja.
