A former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, says there is little or no police presence in
areas which the Peoples Democratic Party is
considered to be strong in Lagos.
Tinubu, who is a National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress, said this while addressing
journalists at Sunday Adigun Street, Alausa, where
he voted on Saturday.
The former governor alleged that the PDP-led
Federal Government had relegated the
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Kayode Aderanti, to
the level of an area commander just because the
party had ulterior motives.
He said rather, the controversial Assistant
Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Joseph Mbu, was
the one acting as the Commissioner of Police for
the elections.
He said, “The alarming issue now is the
inconsistencies and lack of police presence in
areas of their own boasting. They announced
Monday last week that the AIG has been assigned
to supervise the elections. Yesterday (Friday), we
heard the CP has been relegated to an area
commander and the AIG is now a Commissioner of
Police in charge of the election.
“From that, you smell rats. It is not good enough
for confidence building. If there is no written order,
it should not be possible for anybody, no matter
how highly placed, to make an oral posting of the
police or the army.”
Tinubu condemned the spate of violence in the
South-South geo-political zone, saying it was
barbaric.
He said it was violence and threats of such that
might have caused a low voter turnout in several
parts of the country.
Tinubu added, “We have to remove violence from
our politics. Election is about people and service, it
is not a process of gun, war and violence. It is
power by all means that is the cause of the
violence and we have to remove that and allow the
process to function and nurture the process of
democracy, respect the rule of law and lives and
property of Nigerians.
“The attempt to be governor or control states
should come from the people’s sovereignty; the
right of the people to choose their own leaders.”
The former governor commended the Independent
National Electoral Commission for the smooth
process of accreditation, saying it would boost
voter confidence

OK.. .. God help us

Tinubu is a liar

I am not your fan but you spoke well in the last paragraphs.

PDP can only try all this rubbish in the South. If they dare try it in the North, they know that Northerners will match equally with violence.
