Nigeria’s coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), has, on Wednesday, condemned the redeployment of Commissioners of Police.
In a statement, the CUPP spokesperson, Imo Ugochinyere, said the coalition has passed a vote of no confidence on the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, for allegedly dancing to the tune of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ugochinyere said: “Few hours after we exposed the decision of the IGP to announce a list given to him by the Villa, he has gone ahead to announce the list.
“Of grave worry is the insistence of the National Leader of APC that Mr. Kayode Egbetokun must be posted to Kwara, an issue to which he should ordinarily have no contribution; the Inspector General of Police has succumbed and has failed the entire nation and put the entire electoral process in jeopardy.
“The Nigerian opposition rejects the postings and hereby calls on all opposition members not to recognize the politically manipulated postings.
“The Nigerian opposition rejects the appointment of Mr. Kayode Egbetokun as the Commissioner of Police Kwara State and all other Villa instigated postings.
“The Inspector General of Police has disappointed a nation eager to go out peacefully on 16th February to exercise their franchise.
“Clearly anarchy looms in the land and the plot to rig the elections is now in full gear. The Inspector General of Police should be placed on visa ban immediately for aggravating the situation that degenerated into bedlam.
“Opposition members and Nigerians are left with only one option of resorting to self-help in protection of their votes.”
