Why Police Besieged Our Headquarters In Abuja – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has disclosed why men of Nigerian police force surrounded its headquarters on Monday.

Over 25 police officers took strategic positions on Blantyre street where the national secretariat is situated in Abuja.

The spectacle had created apprehension among members of the public.

Speaking on the development, John Akpanudoedehe, national secretary of Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the party, said the deployment of security personnel to its headquarters was necessitated by a security report.

Akpanudoedehe, who didn’t disclose nature or gravity of the security report, said the beefing up of security was to protect the leadership of the Mai Mala Buni-led CECPC and avert any embarrassment of the federal government.

“The police are here to strengthen the security for the leadership of the Gov. Mai Mala Buni-led APC CECPC. Whenever you have a security situation report, you take precautions to protect lives and property,” Akpanudoedehe told reporters.

“APC cannot be embarrassed because we are the national government; therefore we take measures to forestall any negative happenings.

“We have a security report, and you can’t expect us to call thugs to defend the national secretariat. The right thing to do is to inform the police and the State Security Service (SSS) and that is what we have done.”

The national secretary said security was strengthened because the APC does not want to give room for any embarrassment.

“We just have to put everything in place, even the ones that are not verifiable,” he said.

“What we consider to be a threat is not what you consider to be a threat, a mere word that you passed by, we would heighten it because we don’t want to be embarrassed.

“This is the APC that produced the national government. We cannot embarrass the president, we cannot embarrass the government of APC and we cannot embarrass ourselves.”
