By Adeleye Kunle
The Zamfara State guber candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dr. Ahmad Hashim has condemned outrightly the attack by political thugs on Zamfara State NUJ secretariat.
Hashim lamented that the attack and threats to lives of working journalists in the State is condemnable, saying that the State is gradually moving back to the inglorious dark age.
In an exclusive interview with Track News at the party’s secretariat in Gusau, the State capital, Hashim noted that indications have proved that the State government has hands in the dastard acts.
“If working journalists are in chain, it means that the whole society is also in chain. Any attempt to threaten the lives of working journalists is also an attempt to threaten democracy”, he lamented.
According to him, the whole 18 registered political parties in the State recently came together and signed peace accord, stressing that it is unfortunate that some parties are sabotaging the signed peace accord.
He lamented that what is presently happening in the State is a red signal that the 2023 general elections will not be free, fair, credible and accepted.
Hashim noted that if journalists are being threatened by thugs, then the opposition parties are not saved.
