Following the stalemated governorship election in Kano State, the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has travelled to Abuja to press for the removal of the state Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Wakili.

Targeted for the lobby, a source who preferred not to be named said, are national chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole; national leader of APC Bola Tinubu and; some influential presidency officials.

DAILY NIGERIAN observed that the police under Mr Wakili had maintained neutrality before, during and after the election, which saw the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP candidate Abba Yusuf leading with 1,020,465 votes, against Mr Ganduje of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who scored 987,459 votes.

Credible sources told DAILY NIGERIAN that the governor’s entourage includes the Speaker of Kano House of Assembly, Kabiru Rurum; the state chairman of APC, Abdullahi Abbas and; the governor’s top political strategist, Nasiru Aliko-Koki.

Recall that the deputy governor of Kano State, Nasiru Gawuna, alongside the state commissioner for Local Government, Murtala Sule-Garo and chairman of Nassarawa Local Government, Lamin Sani, were involved in result sheet snatching at Airport Road collation centre around 3am on Monday, a situation that led to a fierce brawl.

Party agents reportedly beat the trio to a pulp, and police later rescued the deputy governor and arrested the commissioner and the local government chairman.

On Tuesday, at a press conference to douse tension over the inconclusive governorship election in Kano, Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II commended the Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Wakili, for maintaining peace and order in the state.

Mr Wakili, a fearless cop who wages war against drug abuse and political thuggery in the state, is arguably the most-loved police commissioner ever posted to the state.

The Forum of Presidential Candidates and Political Parties for Good Governance, has appealed to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, to shelve the idea of challenging the outcome of the just concluded presidential election in court.

The forum made up of chairmen and candidates of 36 political parties, who contested the election with the winner, President Muhammadu Buhari, specifically urged Atiku to disregard the advice of those asking him to challenge the outcome of the poll in court.

The chairman of the forum, Mr. Shittu Kabir, stated this in a statement he read on behalf of his colleagues at a press conference in Abuja on Monday.

He said that the group has started a robust discussion with Buhari and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress with a view to being magnanimous in victory by setting up a government of national unity.

Kabir said, “We have advised the government to be magnanimous in victory. I believe that will be done. We have urged them that irrespective of political party or religion or tribe, the government should pick the best brains across the land and those who can contribute to the development of the country across the nation.”

He noted that Atiku, who has already set up a formidable team of legal experts for the judicial battle ahead, has the right to approach the court but that he should forget the litigation option in the interest of peace.

He said, “We strongly urge Alhaji Abubakar to drop the legal option in expressing his grievances. This is consistent with the counsel of many well-meaning Nigerians including Chief Olisa Agbakoba.

“We also believe that the former vice president has made a mark among Nigerians of means who have positively impacted their communities. We think he has a lot more to contribute to developing humanity and promoting peace and progress in our nation, even without holding any political office.

“At his age, he should now avoid any action and utterances capable of fanning the embers of discord, disagreement and violent conduct. Nigeria is greater than any personal or class interest.

Atiku has his right and nobody can infringe on his right. That is why we have not said he cannot go to court but we are saying he should not go to court.

“Instead of wasting that time and maybe draw our developmental stride backwards, let us give our nation time for development and let the government be focused on providing good governance.

“We need to get the country out of the wood and address national issues instead of diverting the attention of the government by going to court.”

It also said part of their task would be to convince the President to sign the Electoral Bill into law with a view to preventing the irregularities, rigging and violence that usually characterised elections in the country.

He said, “If that bill as approved by the National Assembly had been assented by the president, all the litigations and crimes that we are having would been taken care of.”

The group also urged the independent National Electoral Commission, to improve on its operational logistics next Saturday and ensure that all Nigerians willing to vote are able to exercise their franchise without hindrance.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has called for immediate arrest of Buba Galadima, chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a statement on Sunday, the APC campaign council accused Galadima of plotting to announce Atiku Abubakar, PDP presidential candidate, as the winner of the presidential election.

The council claimed Galadima had recorded a short video to this effect, while acting on behalf of the PDP as its campaign spokesman.

It also claimed the opposition party is plotting to mobilise “hoodlums” for nationwide protests.

“In preparation for this reckless move, some PDP social media agents are already flying some kites on-line as to the number of States allegedly ‘won’ by PDP,” read a statement issued by Festus Keyamo, spokesman of the campaign.

“In fact, Alhaji Buba Galadima, an official spokesperson for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has made a short video announcing PDP as the ‘winner’ of the Presidential Election.

“As an official spokesperson, he is clearly acting on behalf of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and on his instruction. We, therefore call for the immediate arrest, interrogation and prosecution of Alhaji Buba Galadima in this regard. The world is watching and waiting on Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to say something on the video by Alhaji Buba Galadima.”
