The appeal against some party chieftains that is before the Inspector General of Police (IGP) has been requested to be transferred to Zamfara Command by Alhaji Muktar Lugga, the acting chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State.
At a news conference on Wednesday in Gusau, Lugga made the appeal, claiming that the existing security condition on the road, particularly in Zamfara, did not favor leaving the state.
He said that the proper interrogation should take place at the Zamfara States Police Command rather than inviting them to the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
Moreover, the allegations levelled against them happened in Zamfara state, and going by the jurisdiction, the petition should be better handled at state police command.
“As law-abiding citizens, we are optimistic that our party members are ever ready to respect and comply with the directive of security agencies.”
He, therefore, urged party supporters to turn out in mass in the forthcoming rerun election in Gummi /Bukkuyum and Gusau/Tsafe federal constituency as well as Zamfara Central Senatorial District.
He said the supporters should disregard all forms of distraction that could be used to turn down the success of the party in the rerun election.
He said the petition filed at Force Headquarters in Abuja was deliberate to cause panic among party loyalists.
