The All Progressives Congress has directed its
members and supporters in Adamawa State to
defy the curfew imposed by the state police
command, describing it as unlawful.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said in a statement on
Friday that there was no threat to security in the
state to warrant the imposition of a curfew.
The APC said the Presidential and National
Assembly elections were held without incident or
declaration of curfew, wondering what warranted
the unlawful curfew declaration.
‘’Imposing an unlawful curfew with effect from
when voting ends on Saturday is suspect and
unacceptable. We are therefore asking all our
members and supporters to ignore the curfew,
come out en masse to vote and also stay back
to defend their votes,’’ the party added.
The Adamawa State Police Command had
imposed a dusk to dawn curfew on the state to
forestall violence that may trail the governorship
and state House of Assembly elections in the
state.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Gabriel
Adaji, said this while briefing newsmen on the
preparation of the police for the April 11
elections in Yola on Friday.
The police commissioner said the curfew would
run between April 12 and 14 would begin at 6pm
and end by 6am.
He said that the measure was to ensure peaceful
and orderly conduct of the elect ions.
“After the last presidential and National
Assembly elections, we had some nasty and ugly
experiences in the state, hence the present
measure,” the CP explained
The police boss also banned residents from
using tricycles, wheel barrows, local trucks
during the curfew. He added that hawking would
not also be allowed; stressing that his men
would be on ground to enforce the order.
Adaji also commended the people of the state,
especially politicians for their peaceful conduct
and orderliness during the March 28 polls.
Meanwhile, political parties in the state have
rejected the imposition of curfew because “it
will coincide with the time collation of election
results will be going on.”
The Publicity Secretary of the APC, Ahmed Lawal,
told our correspondent on the telephone that
the party did not see reason why curfew should
be imposed on the state “if there is peaceful
election.”
Also, the Director General of the Campaign
Organisation of the People’s Democratic
Movement, Sunday Wugira, said that the party
could not understand the reason for the curfew.
Corroborating his colleagues, the Secretary of
the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, A.T.
Shehu, said the curfew was unwarranted.
Rather than imposing curfew, Shehu said the
police should have banned c
