Meanwhile, the presidential candidate, of the Congress for Progressive Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, has suspended his presidential rally scheduled to hold in Jos today.

The state police commissioner, who confirmed the suspension, said the rally had to be shelved because of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship campaign to hold in the tin city on the same date.
He said because of the situation in Jos, there was bound to be a clash if both parties should hold their rallies.
He said when the parties were asked to submit the schedule for their rallies, the PDP had submitted its own earlier and booked the day for the rally.

Daily Sun learnt that it took the intervention of the Inspector General of Police Hafis Ringim for the CPC presidential candidate to shelve his rally because he had felt his own should take precedence over that of the governor being a former head of state

Eziachi:

What an insult- a presidential candidate should move over, so that a governor address a local rally that was an after thought?

Dudluck Jonathan should at least have the dignity of shielding his fear of BB, using state apparatus to oppress opposition is a new low for Gej

Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the Police in Plateau State may be heading for showdown today in Jos, as the party’s presidential standard bearer, General Mohammadu Buhari yesterday insisted on storming the state capital for a campaign rally.

Contrary to a directive from the state police command that it should shift its presidential campaign rally billed for today in Jos, for security reasons, the Party replied there was no going back on its planned campaign even if heaven would fall.

National Chairman of the Party, Prince Tony Momoh told Daily Sun that the CPC would not put off its rally for any reason bearing in mind that the timetable of its presidential campaign had been out since and every security agency given a copy ahead of the scheduled events.

“For anybody to tell us to shift our rally is unacceptable.Good sense demands that in the order of protocol, the presidential rally comes first. People who want to embarrass the president would just sit down in a corner playing their master’s dictates at the detriment of the nation’s democracy. We won’t listen to anyone to tell us to go to left or right as it pleases them, because of someone in power.
“We are going to Jos tomorrow (today), nothing will stop us and the police must provide security,” he declared.

Daily Sun gathered that the Plateau State Police Commissioner, Mr. Abdul Rahman Akanu had in a letter dated March 18, to the party’s national secretary, Mr. Buba Galadima cited the possibility of security breach in the state given that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state had also slated its rally for the same day, although at another venue in another local government area.

However, the CPC in its reply to the letter dated March 19, and signed by the party scribe would not have none of the reasons raised by the police, arguing that it could not cancel its rally because of a local rally being organized by the PDP in another local government area.

The CPC pointed out that the PDP rally being referred to, was an afterthought meant to destabilize CPC’s carefully thought out planned rally. Rejecting the police advise, the CPC pointed out that the irreducible minimum standard that should be observed is the fact that the campaign involves a presidential candidate and not a local rally involving a governor. He said by protocol, the presidential campaign ought to be accorded priority before any other since it was not President Goodluck Jonathan that was involved in the PDP rally.

Therefore, the CPC demanded from the police, full security compliments to its candidates and its teeming supporters as they hit Jos, today adding that anything short of that would be unacceptable.
The letter read:

“Your command is hereby called to note the following; that our party, the Congress for Progress Change was first to notify all security agencies, including your command of our intention to hold rally in Jos on Monday, 21, March 2011. “That the Congress for Progressive Change National Presidential rally holds at the Polo field, Jos town, in Jos North Local Government Area, while the PDP rally you have referred to by Governor Jang (which is an afterthought) holds at Bukuru Stadium, in Jos South Local Government Area.
“That national presidential rally takes precedence over local, state rally just as the Plateau State Commissioner of Police cannot overrule the Inspector General of Police.

“You may not be aware but need to know that after our party secured the Polo field venue, the Plateau State Government made overtures to them to return our money and cancelled the contracts between us. This, led to the meeting of the management of the Polo field to discuss the issue. What that means is that it had always been the intention of the Plateau State Government to frustrate the visit by General Mohammadu Buhari to Plateau State.

“We are also not unaware of the intimate relationship between the Plateau State Government and State Command especially the Commissioner of Police himself. The frame up, the arrest, detention and prosecution of our party leaders on the orders of the Plateau State Government was a case in point.
“It is for the above reason that we reject your advice to the presidential candidate, General Mohammadu Buhari to reschedule his visit to Jos in preference to Governor Jonah Jang’s campaign rally in another local government of Plateau State.”
