By Ikechukwu Okaforadi The Director General of Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Salihu Lukman, has said Nigeria cannot succeed in the war against kidnapping and banditry without strong synergy between the federal and State governments. He also said banditry and kidnapping cannot succeed in any part of Nigeria without the collaboration of community and religious leaders, calling for stiffer penalties, such as death sentence, against the criminals and their collaborators. In a statement he issued yesterday in Abuja, Lukman, who coordinates the PGF; an umbrella union of Governors elected on All Progressives Congress (APC) platform, said also that the time does not call for divisive narratives, urging leaders of APC at the federating levels to jointly carry the burden of national unity.
