Darlington Iyoha, governorship candidate of the Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN) has urged Mohammed Adamu, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to be non-partisan in the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State.

Worried over the turns of political events that had taken place recently in the state as parties continue their campaign amid accusations and counter-accusations of violent threat, Iyoha, on Friday, called on the Adamu to openly “declare his position as a non-partisan boss of the country’s number one internal security outfit”.

“From attacks on the Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, and his guests at the Palace of the Oba of Benin, shortly before the flag off of the Peoples Democratic Party governorship campaign in Benin City on July 25, 2020, to the attempt to take over the state House of Assembly through the support of some policemen and other security agencies, among others, it has become imperative for the Inspector – General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to openly declare his position as a non-partisan boss of the country’s number one internal security outfit,” he said.

“There had been boisterous comments to use the federal might against the people of the state in ensuring that the APC wins the election against the wish of the majority of the people of the state who are firmly behind the re-election bid of Governor Obaseki.

“The support given by the federal might via security operatives, including the police, to the three lawmakers who teamed up with 14 others whose seats were declared vacant to elect a factional speaker of the House,  is a case at hand that calls for serious concern ahead of the election.”

Continuing, the PPN governorship candidate alleged that the lawmakers had visited heads of security agents in the state, adding that such visits were an indictment on the IGP and the heads of other security agencies who should be seen to be neutral.

“They should not be perceived or suspected to be used as tools by politicians.”
