Remain Neutral, C’River PDP Guber Candidate Urges Security Agencies

aiteo

The Cross River State Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, gubernatorial candidate, Professor Sandy Onor, has urged security agencies in the country to remain neutral ahead of the general elections.

Onor, who made the call in Calabar, said the security agencies must not allow themselves to be used to torment innocent citizens.

His call was in response to the recent arrest warrant issued against the PDP candidate for the Obudu/Bekwarra/Obanliku Federal constituency in the forthcoming election, Peter Akpanke, by the Cross River State Police Command.

“Let me use this opportunity to once again call on our security agencies to sit up and remain neutral as we get close to the general elections. They must not allow themselves to be used to torment innocent citizens.

“One of us, Mr. Peter Akpanke, the PDP candidate for the Obudu/Bekwarra/Obanliku Federal Constituency election, is already being hounded by Ayade, with the tacit support of the police and the judiciary with a mischievous bench warrant, over a murder charge that Akpanke knows nothing about.

“Infact, Akpanke had gone the extra mile to get the police to apprehend the suspect, who killed the policeman in question and the suspect has since willingly confessed to the crime.

“Yet, Ayade is still doing everything to force the police to harass our candidate because defeat now stares him in the face.

“In times like this, the Police and the DSS should live up to their professional calling and maintain their non-partisan avowal, and do justice to this matter to avoid a breakdown of law and order.

“The police know the truth and should not allow themselves to be misled by Ayade,”Professor Onor said.

He added that rather than chase shadows, Ayade should make deliberate efforts to restitute for his sons against the people of Cross River State for about eight years now.

He also urged the governor to get into his closet and do some self-examination before the end of his tenure.
