If a governorship candidate is kidnapped, then the electorate are in danger. This is becoming a stock in trade in Anambra State. I thought Osisikankwu is dead?

Why am I not surprised?

Next thing he comes out and pulls of the race

Kidnapping is not just an economic empowerment weapon in the SE, it is also a political tool

Blame Fashola!

Clerverly: Blame Fashola!

Yes ooooooo....

Politics....a dirty game***abeg who get Ariel detergent...mah wash my hands***

is it TRUE!

At awka?

Those at awka should confirm asap.

An attempt to boost a non existent popularity. The police should make sure they question him when he comes out of hiding.

Hahaha so he stole the idea from that Enugu coffin maker who planned his own kidnapping to extort money from his younger brothers.

if he is found to have kidnapped himself he MUST go to prison and face charges of kidnapping but seriously I hope he is alright and this is just a publicity stunt.

Up NNPP!!!!
Nice political strategy.

Unnoticed candidate tryna seek popularity.

The guy no dey reason logically as you do...

A crime may have been committed in this cesspit of a country we were forced into and some oblong heads with pointed mouths want to tribalise the issue.

Welcome to the repbulic of the Igbos.

Kidnapping is not just an economic empowerment weapon in the SE, it is also a political tool

And in SW Nigeria the political tool is murder, arson. ask Dr ayo daramola, deji olagbaju, dipo dina, dr funsho Williams and the victims of many operation weties in the region. is not known as wild wild west for nothing. remove the your eye f.ool.
