Wammako said this at the 12th edition of The Sun Awards held at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos, western Nigeria, after being honoured as the 2014 Man of The Year.
According to the governor, given Abba’s actions and double standard in carrying out his duties ahead of this year’s elections, the police chief is not qualified to manage such a sensitive office.
Wammako accused the IGP of being a threat to the peaceful conduct of the forthcoming general elections, having allegedly violated the recent non-violence accord signed in Abuja by the leading political parties in the country and their candidates.The governor, who was angry, expressed dismay that while the police have been arresting members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on trumped up charges, members of the Peoples Democratic Party allegedly engaged in violence have been allowed to move about freely.
“It is so unfortunate that we have an inspector general of police who has violated the non-violence accord signed by all parties ahead of the coming general elections. The IGP has made nonsense of the accord. Our campaign office was attacked and somebody was killed. While some of the culprits were apprehended, we heard that those arrested had been released on the order of the inspector general of police. This has made nonsense of the signed peace accord. I am sorry for our country,” Wammako said.
He, however, expressed his delight that Nigeria’s political system is growing as the country has been able to witness the emergence of two strong, dominant parties like other developed democracies.
