Najatu Mohammed Tinubu PSC

The Tinubu Campaign Council has rejected the appointment by the Police Service Commission, PSC of its commissioner, Naja`atu Bala Mohammed as the Northwest coordinator to monitor the activities of policemen during the forthcoming election

The Tinubu campaign expressing its shock at the appointment of Naja`atu Mohammed by the PSC to supervise the conduct of policemen said that it would not accept her based on what it claimed as her partisan role in the campaigns.

GWG.ng reports that Naja`atu Mohammed was a former director of civil societies in the Tinubu Campaign who left her position and the APC to back the aspiration of Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate.

Naja`atu Mohammed who is also a commissioner in the PSC has rejected the call on her to resign her position given that she was appointed by an APC president.

Rejecting her appointment, Festus Keyamo, chief spokesperson to Tinubu 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 NorthWest coordinator of the Presidential Election. In that role, she is expected to move about freely, supervising the conduct of Police Officers during the elections.

With the well-documented activities, actions and vitriols 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.

“We need not emphasise that the role given to NAJA’ATU requires a honest and unbiased individual who will discharge the duties diligently and without reproach. The nation will not get that from NAJA’ATU.

“We therefore demand for the IMMEDIATE withdrawal of the name of NAJA’ATU Bala Muhammad as a coordinator of the Police Service Commission for the NorthWest or any region for that matter.

“She has an inalienable right to continue to campaign for any candidate of her choice and to vote for that candidate, but she cannot be given a garment to wear at this time that is meant only for neutrals.”
