Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Oyo State Alhaji Lam Adesina has warned the Police Commissioner, Adisa Bolanta, against compromising security before, during and after next month’s election.
Adesina gave the warning at a rally in Ogbomoso at the weekend.
The rally witnessed a huge crowd, as people trooped out to declare their support for the party’s governorship candidate, Abiola Ajimobi.
The people carried solidarity placards, some of which read: ‘’We want a change’’, ‘’Enough of PDP’s token governance’’, ‘’Ajimobi, save our souls from political thuggery,’’ and ‘’No water, electricity and good roads in Ogbomoso.’’
Policemen and other security agencies had a hectic time controlling the crowd.
At some communities in Ogo-Oluwa and Surulere councils, the people presented a catalogue of problems to the governorship candidate.
Ajimobi also visited traditional rulers in the areas.
Lamalleged that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had sown fake police uniforms to be used during the elections.
He said: “We wish to tell the Commissioner of Police to be above aboard and live up to expectation.
‘’We are law-abiding, but will resist plans by the PDP to rig the elections.’’
The ACN leader appealed to parents to prevail on children not to allow themselves to be used as thugs.
He said: “If the youths fail to heed the warning, and go ahead to wear the fake police uniforms to cause mayhem, they will not remove the uniforms again till they die. We mean it.
‘’Anything can happen anytime. We have had enough of political robbery and won’t tolerate it this time around.”
Lam told the people that a vote for ACN was a guarantee for a better future.
He said the four cardinal programmes of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo would be implemented.
