Tinubu Refuses Appointment Of Naja’atu As North West Police Coordinator For Elections

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has rejected the appointment of Naja’atu Muhammad, a former Director of the party’s Presidential Campaign Council, as the North-West coordinator of the Police Service Commission in the forthcoming general elections. Greenbarge reports.

Festus Keyamo, the Director of Public Affairs and Chief Spokesperson of Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), who presented a statement today, February 20, on behalf of Tinubu, described the appointment of Naja’atu, saying that her selection is “callous and insensitive” considering her strained relationship with the APC

The statement read in part: “We are deeply shocked and appalled to read a release by the Police Service Commission appointing one of its most partisan members, Naja’atu Bala Muhammad as a North-West coordinator of the presidential election. In that role, she is expected to move about freely, supervising the conduct of police officers during the elections.Information Guide Nigeria

“With the well-documented activities, actions, and vitriols of Naja’atu in the last few weeks against our candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (after being shown the door out of the APC as a mole) we venture to say that this appointment is not only callous, it is insensitive, openly confrontational and consequently unacceptable by the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council.

“Coming at a time when President Muhammadu Buhari is constantly assuring and reassuring the world of free, fair, and credible elections, it confirms our worst fears that there are functionaries of government that are actively working with the opposition to thwart the avowed commitment of Mr. President.”JAMB Result

It demanded her immediate withdrawal from the position, saying Muhammad should not be allowed to hold such a position in any part of the country

“We need not emphasize that the role given to NAJA’ATU requires an honest and unbiased individual who will discharge the duties diligently and without reproach. The nation will not get that from NAJA’ATU.

“We, therefore, demand the IMMEDIATE withdrawal of the name of NAJA’ATU Bala Muhammad as a coordinator of the Police Service Commission for the North-West or any region for that matter. She has an inalienable right to continue to campaign for any candidate of her choice and to vote for that candidate, but she cannot be given a garment to wear at this time that is meant only for neutrals.”JAMB Portal
