THOSE CALLING FOR MILITARY INVOLVEMENT DURING FORTHCOMING ELECTIONS ARE POLITICAL JOBBERS-CIVIL SOCIETIES
“We unanimously condemned the false alarms and claims over high rising of insecurity in Ogun State .It is far from the truth with spurious aim of condemning the uncompromising, reliable and responsive efforts of the Command’,Olayinka added.
“We have done some findings and we have discovered that the political violence that has happened so far happened as a result of the mismanagement of their campaign process and violence from so extortionists’.
“For the petition written to the Presidency, we want to state clearly that our State still remains safe as ever before and all that has been written was written by unidentified elements sponsored by some unidentified individuals’.
“It is imminent to recall that the Ogun State Police Command in one of its efforts at preparing toward a peaceful conduct of 2019 elections organised a stakeholders and peace accord for all critical stakeholders unions amongst others’.
“Each political party signed the peace accord document which was read to all stakeholders, the Command used different forum to read the riot act and orientate the public on peaceful prior, during and post elections. What else could have been expected of the Nigerian Police Force other than measures that guarantees sustainable peace and maintenance of laws and order in Ogun State’.
“Ogun State over the years has been rated as the most peaceful State and the first State with the ease of doing business in Nigeria. We therefore imaging why this Ill informed writers and suspected political machineries and strange characters decided to demarket Ogun State’.
“We would like to warn political actor and politicians to desist from conduct capable of causing voters apathy, breach of public peace, disunity, disaffection and open door for rigging under the disguise of insecurity. Ogun state has remained a peaceful state and should not be militarised.
“The President of the Federal republic of Nigeria, Inspector General of Police, DG of SSS, National Security Adviser among others should discard the call for an unnecessary security intervention in Ogun State.” he added
