Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, the governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, better known as Jandor, for the arrest of Musliu ‘MC Oluomo’ Akinsanya, the chairman of parks and garages, for threatening voters.
MC Oluomo had vowed that his boys will be all out to attack anyone who intends to vote for any of the opposition parties in Saturday’s poll.
In a statement signed by Hakeem Amode, the PDP publicity secretary in Lagos, Jandor said that MC Oluomo’s utterances and intimidation of voters in the state are already an integrity test for all security formations deployed for Lagos election.
He also urged Lagosians to troop out to vote on Saturday and assured them of the provision of security.
The PDP gubernatorial candidate included that the desperation to forcefully retain power in Lagos State will be resisted by the people who have endured hardship inflicted on them over the years.
“The leadership of the Lagos PDP hereby calls for more assurances from the security apparatuses to prevent voters’ apathy in the election,” the statement read.
“The waves of attacks by political thugs in some areas in the days leading into the polls were enough for security agencies to step up their games and reassure voters.
“The Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Baba, and all military formations must do the needful by providing adequate security for democracy to have its way on Saturday.
“We hereby call on the security agencies to deploy adequate personnel to Lagos to checkmate the planned attack of the MC Oluomo-led APC thugs and other likely security breaches.
“Security officers must not connive with unscrupulous INEC officials but should do the needful if the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 are being breached from polling units to collation centres.
“If democracy is allowed to run as expected, our children and the children of the electoral umpire and security agencies will enjoy it and if otherwise, they will also suffer.
“The Department of State Services and Police must move into potential flashpoints in local governments now for the swift manhunt and arrest of some politicians who are behaving as if they are above the law.
”The good people of Lagos State will resist all forms of intimidation and harassment from sponsored thugs of the ruling party and will not relent on their resolution to change the government with their votes at the poll tomorrow.”
