APC denies influencing police posting ahead of elections

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.

Adams Oshiomhole has predicted another failure for Atiku Abubakar in his bid to become the President of Nigeria. [ThisDayLive]

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 peoples 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.
