The All Progressives Congress has debunked allegations by the Coalition of United Political Parties that the Police hierarchy had compromised Police posting for the purpose of providing election security in its favour.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu, in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja described the allegation as laughable.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the CUPP had alleged that they were in possession of credible information that Police posting for the purpose of providing election security had been compromised.
The coalition’s spokesperson, Imo Ugochinyere, said in a statement that some APC leaders had been requested to make their choice of Commissioners, Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, SARS Commanders, and other strategic positions in the Police.
“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.”
Issa-Onilu reiterated that it was not within the rights or responsibility of any political organisation or group to dictate to agencies empowered by law how to deliver on specific mandates.
“In the next election the will of the Kwara electorate will prevail,” Issa-Onilu stressed.
