Call Errant Security Agencies To Order, Buhari Tells Jonathan by dan55: 10:56pm On Mar 27, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC)
Presidential candidate, Major-General
Muhammadu Buhari (ret) has call on
Prsident Goodluck Jonathan to call errant
security agencies to order.
Buhari made this known in a press
statement on Friday.
The statement read thus
The Abuja Peace Accords Must Be Worth
Their Wordings
On Thursday, March 26th, President
Goodluck Jonathan and I signed a new
accord reinforcing our commitment to
violent-free elections.
The new accord is a follow up to the Abuja
Accord which we signed, along with nine
other party leaders, on Jan. 14th 2015, to
show our commitment to free, fair and
credible elections in our dear country.
I take these accords very seriously, and this
has reflected in the issues-based campaign
which I ran all through the period of
electioneering campaign, despite the
provocative and sleazy campaign directed at
my person and my party.
But recent developments across the country,
ahead of Saturday’s elections, run against
the contents and spirit of the peace accords.
For example, the ink with which we signed
the new peace accord had barely dried
when we started hearing reports of violence
directed against members of our party, the
All Progressives Congress (APC), as well as
glaring acts of harassment and intimidation
being carried out against the opposition by
security agents across the country.
Shots were fired at the convoy of the
Director General of my Campaign
Organization, His Excellency Gov. Rotimi
Amaechi of Rivers State, in Rumuolumeni,
Obio Akpor area of Port Harcourt, a few
hours after the second peace accord was
signed, leaving two persons injured.
I do hope this is not a confirmation of the
information reaching my party that some
notorious security agents have been
deployed to Port Harcourt to restrict the
movement of Gov. Amaechi.
In Ondo State, a serving APC member of the
House of Representatives, Hon. Eniolorunda
Omosule, was arrested and detained by the
police for no reason other than to keep him
away until after elections, while we have
heard reports of an alleged meeting in
Ibadan between the Commissioners of
Police in the South-west and PDP officials.
In Imo, we have read of how more than 30
armed mobile policemen were unleashed on
some APC youths at Mbutu in Aboh Mbaise
Local Government Area, with the policemen
firing indiscriminately, smashing doors and
windows and arresting some of the youths,
while there are alleged plans to deploy
troops clothed in DSS uniforms to the South-
west to help the PDP to rig the elections.
These are worrisome developments, more
so because they involve security agencies,
which are supposed to be neutral and
professional in carrying out their
constitutional duties of protecting the lives
and property of Nigerians, irrespective of
their party affiliations.
I remain committed to the two peace
accords which we signed to ensure free,
fair, transparent and peaceful elections on
Saturday and on April 11th, and once again I
urge all my supporters to shun all acts of
violence, even in the face of the worst kind
of provocations.
However, the wordings of the accords must
mean something if indeed they are the
paper they are writing on. The new peace
accord we signed on Thursday called on
INEC and all security agencies ”to ensure
strict adherence to their constitutional
roles”. This is the minimum requirement for
us to have credible elections. When those
who are being paid to protect Nigerians
turn around to unleash violence on them, it
portends great danger for the polity.
With less than 24 hours to the Presidential
elections, I call on President Goodluck
Jonathan to immediately call the errant
security agencies to order, in the spirit of
the peace accords. The President should
make it clear that any security agent who
engages in acts that are inimical to the
success of the elections will face the full
wrath of the law. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/call-errant-security-agencies-to-order-buhari-tells-jonathan/
