The Peoples Democratic Party is demanding for the immediate and unconditional release of Salihu Yakasai, son of elder statesman, Tanko Yankasai.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbodiyan in a statement, described the alleged detention of Salihu Yakasai in a secret facility, shortly after his criticism of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, as completely unacceptable.
The party says, the development is a sad reminder of the sudden disappearance of a known APC government critic, Abu Haniga Dadiyata, since August 2019.
Condemning the sack of Salihu Yakasai by his former principal and current Governor of Kano State, Umar Ganduje, the PDP however, reminds the APC-led administration, of the constitutional rights of citizens, as enshrined in the 1999 constitution as amended, which must be respected.
