Abia State Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Donatus
Nwamkpa was kidnapped by unknown gunmen late Monday evening, few hours to the
visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Aba.
Mr Benedict Godson,
the Abia State APC Publicity Secretary told newsmen in Aba that the party knew of
plots to disrupt its rally and the president’s visit on Tuesday by the
opposition.
Godson, however noted
that the Abia APC never expected that the planned disruption would be on that
level.
Godson said Nwamkpa
was kidnapped alongside his aide at Osisioma Local Government Area along the
Aba/Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway about 11pm Monday night.
"There was a plot
on ground to disrupt today's visit by the president, but we never expected
this.
“He was kidnapped and
up till now, we've not heard from him. He remains our authentic Chairman.
“Kidnapping Hon.
Donatus Nwamkpa, a foundation builder, a mover and the man who has brought this
party from no where to somewhere cannot stop this party from winning Abia.
He said that “authoritatively”
there are persons in opposition party who might have collaborated with some members
of APC in Abia to abduct Nwamkpa.
He noted that such act
of criminality was not the right way to play politics.
He also said that the move
cannot stop the Abia state APC guber candidate Dr Uche Sampson Ogah, from winning
Abia.
“People are afraid and
according to our party Chairman, it's obvious that some persons were planted
into our party by the opposition to distract the party.
"For now we are
not accusing anybody, but we know that the evil people are trying their best,
but they'll fail.
“We are sure our
Chairman will be back soon because he's a good man and a man of God. We plead
with his abductors to release him for he meant well for Abia State", Godson
said
