The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has rejected the appointment of Naja’atu Bala Muhammad as the North West Coordinator of police affairs for the February 25 and March 11 elections.

The Police Service Commission had assigned Muhammad as one of the coordinators who would supervise the conduct of police officers during the general elections.

But the Director Public Affairs and Spokesman of the APC campaign council, Festus Keyamo (SAN), in a statement on Monday said she should be withdrawn immediately.

Muhammad had resigned from the APC campaign council as Director Civil Society Organisations, saying she can no longer support the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of this Saturday’s election.

The APC said, “We are deeply shocked and appalled to read a release by the Police Service Commission appointing one of its most partisan members, Naja’atu Bala Muhammad as a North West coordinator of the Presidential Election. In that role, she is expected to move about freely, supervising the conduct of Police Officers during the election.

“With the well-documented activities, actions and vitriol of Naja’atu in the last few weeks against our candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (after being shown the door out of the APC as a mole), we venture to say that this appointment is not only callous, it is insensitive, openly confrontational and consequently unacceptable by the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council. Coming at a time when President Muhammadu Buhari is constantly assuring and reassuring the world of free, fair and credible elections, it confirms our worst fears that there are functionaries of government that are actively working with the opposition to thwart the avowed commitment of Mr. President.

Why I Withdrew From Ondo Guber Race — Eyitayo Jegede

Latest Politics updatein nigeria

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo state in 2020, Chief Eyitayo Jegede, on Thursday, said he withdrew from the 2024 governorship race to give room for unity and ensure victory for the party in the forthcoming governorship election.

Jegede who noted that disunity has not allowed any candidate from that party to win the governorship race in the state, said he chose to sacrifice his ambition for the development of the party.

This is just as a group within the party, PDP Crusader, hailed the decision of Jegede to step aside in the forthcoming governorship election in the state in order to build a strong and united party that can send the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) packing in the state.

The Coordinator of the PDP Crusader, Hon Mayokun Akinmoladun, said the group was ready to follow and support Jegede in any decision he took on the party’s primary and the November 16 governorship election.

Akinmoladun said the most important thing to the party is to come together and rescue the state, noting that the party was not being run the way it was supposed to be.

He said the party may go into extinction if care is not taken, and commended Jegede for financing the party since it lost the governorship seat some eight years ago.
