Nigeria - Former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has alleged that the People’s Democratic Party is manipulating electoral process in the state, Punch reports.
Speaking at Sunday Adigun Street, Alausa, where he voted on Saturday, Tinubu says there is little or no police presence in areas which the Peoples Democratic Party is considered to be strong in Lagos.
According to him, government had relegated the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Kayode Aderanti, to the level of an area commander just because the party had ulterior motives.
He said rather, the controversial Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Joseph Mbu, was the one acting as the Commissioner of Police for the elections.
He said, “The alarming issue now is the inconsistencies and lack of police presence in areas of their own boasting. They announced Monday last week that the AIG has been assigned to supervise the elections. Yesterday (Friday), we heard the CP has been relegated to an area commander and the AIG is now a Commissioner of Police in charge of the election.
“From that, you smell rats. It is not good enough for confidence building. If there is no written order, it should not be possible for anybody, no matter how highly placed, to make an oral posting of the police or the army.”
Tinubu also condemned the spate of violence in the South-South geo-political zone, saying it was barbaric
