APC denies influencing police posting ahead of elections


The All Progressives Congress (APC)has debunked allegations by the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) that the police hierarchy had compromised police posting for the purpose of providing election security in its favour.
Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, the APC National Publicity Secretary, in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, described the allegation as laughable.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)reports that the CUPP had alleged that they were in possession of credible information that police posting for the purpose of providing election security had been compromised.
The coalition’s spokesperson, Imo Ugochinyere, said this in a statement that some APC leaders had been requested to make their choice of Commissioners, Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, SARS Commanders, and other strategic positions in the police.
“A nebulous group which parades itself as CUPP has made some laughable allegations on some police postings, particularly in Kwara State ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
“Ordinarily, the APC wouldn’t respond to a group of charlatans running errands for the embattled President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki.
“However, since the group has issued the statement as a decoy for him, we would direct our reactions to their paymaster,”he said.
Issa-Onilu reiterated that the APC National Chairman, Mr Adams Oshiomhole, and indeed other senior party leaders mentioned in the statement were too busy with the party’s Next Level campaigns.
He stressed that the APC leadership was too busy with engagements to be involved in the childish conspiracies and spurious allegations contained in the statement.
He, however, said that it was not within the rights or responsibility of any political organisation or group to dictate to agencies empowered by laws how to deliver on specific mandates.
The APC spokesman added that the party believed that leaders with a modicum of honour, should not tread on the path of cowardice by hiding under nebulous groups to make unsubstantiated allegations.
He also said that the APC however, understood that people’s fears were oftentimes their own weakness.
He said it was clear that Sen. Saraki, the PDP, and their cronies were recollecting their usual practice of manipulating state institutions to achieve their political ends.
According to him, the PDP is now scared of its own shadows.
“Let it be known that our party, the APC, has not copied such dubious template,”Issa-Onilu said.
He further reiterated that a new and progressive Kwara beckons through the votes of the people, adding that Kwara electorate would decide on the new political direction in the state.
“Kwara has suffered enough backwardness and under-development resulting from the selfish grip of a self-appointed leader in the state.
“In the next election the will of the Kwara electorate will prevail,”Issa-Onilu stressed.(NAN)

APC IS A TABOO IN SOUTH SOUTH AND SOUTH EAST ,VOTE ATIKU PDP FOR PROSPEROUS NEW NIGERIA.we should overwhelm Buhari and defend our votes like in Bayelsa and Rivers, when I watched the Ekiti and Osun elections. Then Buhari appoints his niece as Chief Collator, then INEC Chairman, almost all Service Chiefs, the Chief Justice and all tiers of Justice and Security are headed by Northern Muslims. The last time any Muslim nation went this far was in Turkey. What followed was the Armenian Genocide of over 1 million people.Atiku is naturally love by all nigerNige whether north,south,east,west, Christian,muslims,young, old,elderly,infants,businesses people and all nigerians.atiku is a unifier and he is the best for now.God bless Nigeria.Everyone try to join the Articulated team it Is never too late.

Atiku has comrades, people who believe in his principles of freedom of assoiciation, rule of law, religious moderation, liberal minded people who believe in ethnoreligious Harmony, people who cherish and value socioeconomic development, advancement and progress, people who value social inclussion, ethnic and religious tolerance, peace and stability. Smart human beings that value lives, reward for hardwork and competence. Atiku has sensable human being that understands that life is precious and must be preserved. They are not Zombies, but people who would call him out if he mess up. We are all Atikulated.
On the other hand, Buhari has fans, people that support people based in mere emotions and sentiments. Sentiments not based on wisdom, common sense or progress, but based of ethnoreligious interests and guest for dorminance. Buharideens are retrogressives, who thinks poverty is a good virture, being rich means you have soiled your hands and not cos you have worked hard for it. Senseless bafoons who values cattles over human lives, who dont care or see anything wrong that children, women and old people are slaughtered in their sleep because of cows, people with inherent animalistic tendercies and desire to spill blood for senseless reasons. Disregard for freedom, and humanities., deregard for rule of law. This is why 98% of Buhari fans is not moved or controlled by common sense or wisdom, but moved and controlled by ethnoreligious sentiments.
