Kwara APC accuses police of aiding PDP * It's not true - Police

Date: 2014-03-02

THE All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State has accused the state police command of partisanship, saying it has become an agent of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), just as it stated that some men of the command had, on Saturday, arrested seven of its members in Ilorin for being in possession of APC posters.

Speaking with journalists in Ilorin, on Saturday, the interim chairman of the APC in the state, Alhaji Ishola Balogun-Fulani, urged the Inspector General of Police to call the state commissioner, Ambrose Aisabor to order.

According to him, “As if that was not enough, the people engaged by the party to erect these signposts, after being manhandled, were arrested and detained in the police cell for doing their lawful job.

“We wish to bring to the notice of well-meaning Nigerians and indeed the good people of the state that the state police command has turned itself to an agent of the PDP as it now engages in the pulling down and removing of all billboards carrying names and logos of the APC in major roads of the state capital, while innocent party members and supporters were being arrested indiscriminately without any reason for doing so.”

But the state police commissioner, Mr. Ambrose Aisabo, denied the allegations, claiming that “We had information that the APC was planning to print several posters and use them to deface that of Mr .President and we went there and indeed we saw thousands of posters that had been printed. We impounded them but the people explained to us that they had no plan of defacing the posters of Mr. President. I warned them and allowed them to go with their posters. I am not against anyone pasting posters but I am against it when people deface the posters of others; there is enough space for everybody.”

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday urged President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to shelve tomorrow’s planned rally in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, describing a campaign visit to Kwara State or any other state at this time as “insensitive, ill-timed and utterly inhuman.”

However, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, in a statement by his senior special assistant on media, Muideen Akoresde, Ahmed, has called on politicians and their supporters to conduct themselves lawfully and avoid any action capable of disrupting the peace of the state.
