The Nigeria Police has replied
the allegation by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the Inspector
General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris over his perceived romance with the ruling
party.
The PDP National Chairman, Mr
Uche Secondus, had accused the IGP of working for the incumbent to arrest and
intimidate its opponents.
Secondus, who spoke at the
National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party in Abuja had also asked
the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor
Mahmood Yakubu, to resign his position.
He claimed that the INEC chairman
lacked the will and capacity to conduct free and fair elections next year.
But Force Public Relations
Officer, Mr Jimoh Moshood, dismissed the allegation in an interview with
Channels Television on Thursday.
He also described the call by the
main opposition party for the resignation of the police boss as laughable.
Ahead of the general elections in
2019, the Police spokesman stressed that the force has remained apolitical and
does not work in favour of any political party.
He, therefore, challenged the PDP
to make public or report any case of compromise by the police.
Moshood insisted that the police
were only focused on law enforcement and ensuring that the forthcoming
elections were conducted peacefully.
