Don’t Be Intimidated, Adequate Security In Place For Election – Ajia
Few days before Nigerians decide on their choice of political office holders, voters have been asked not to be intimidated, but rather go out on 25 February and exercise their franchise.
Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed Ajia, retired senior police officer, stated this Ilorin during a media parley, reiterating his implicit confidence in the Nigerian Police to provide adequate security.
Ajia, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Reps candidate for Asa/Ilorin West federal constituency, declared that “Nobody will be intimidated on election day, that I can assure you,” said.
A renowned security expert spoke in response to growing tension in the country sequel to the scarcity of new naira notes and the concomitant hardships people are going through.
“I want to urge our people that they should not be intimidated by anybody, arrangements have been put in place to ensure security of lives and property.
“The Inspector General of Police is working around the clock. He will be supported by other security agencies in Nigeria. Nobody can intimidate you before, during or after the elections.
“All the plans of people trying to introduce thuggery, violence on the election day are just mere jokes because whoever tries that, we will make sure that the arms of the law catch up with him or her.
We will not only deal with them. We will ensure that even their families are prosecuted because it will be considered as a conspiracy against the country.
“We assure Nigerians that intelligence officers are already outside there as they are planning, the information is around everywhere. All the plans of bringing in thugs, giving them police uniform. All these things are things of the past.
“I caution all political actors that they should desist from this idea of trying to use violence but rather conduct themselves peacefully for us to have a free and successful election,” he submitted.
Ajia also promised people of his constituency; Asa/Ilorin West federal constituency, a responsible and effective representation, which he said would attract federal government’s support to communities and will make them proud if elected.
