Ok

Tinubus magic wand has been waved

OK noted

Ok,my advice is that the new cp should be diligent in discharging their duty and put the interest of the masses at heart.

This Edo matter is getting out of hand, na only una everytime?

Craze World ...Legend Fela Kuti don sing am before..

The headline is sensational. Even Vanguard that the OP quoted from did not write such headline.

Things are getting clearer by the day....nobody will use police connection to influence the electoral outcome..

Still compromises will not be ruled out

nero2face:
we already know the game,..pre-election rigging

This could also be pre election Wailing

Kokumo alias "My hands are tied" Police commissioner.We have tried him before and Hes a confirmed dead meat.He would be an epileptic seisure to Edo state security aparatus during the election.

It has always been the norm now

And some people said there's hope for obaseki? I laugh. Look this is exactly the sane thing that happened in Lagos few months to election.

This election is a one way ticket for ize-izamu, quote me anywhere. I have seen it already, if I were to be obaseki now I will defect to PDP just d way ortum did, either way he will lose anyway, so just scatter the party for them. I trust my guts!

APC Primary: Group raises alarm over plot by Obaseki to replace Edo Police Commissioner with an ally

A group, The Coalition for Good Governance and Economic Justice in Africa, has raised alarm over alleged plans by the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, to influence the change of the Police Commissioner in the state and replace him with a pliable ally who would, according to them, help with his plans to use security agencies to harass and arbitrarily detain his political opponents.

In a statement signed by the Coalition’s spokesperson, Mr. Collins Osarenkhoe and released to the press today in Abuja, the group called on the President and the Police Service Commission to investigate the claims and check the “growing authoritarianism” in Edo State.

The statement read: “We have reliably gathered that the Mr. Godwin Obaseki, the governor of Edo State who is presently in Abuja for political reasons, has boasted in a meeting that he is finalizing plans to replace the Commissioner of Police in Edo State with a certain Johnson Kokumo whom he considers an ally.”

“He was said to have complained to some politicians in the Federal Capital Territory over his inability to assume total control of the present Police Chief in the state, hence his preference for Kokumo ahead of the APC Primaries and the governorship election in the state. The switch, according to our sources, is to allow the governor unilaterally direct the Police to arrest and detain his political opponents in the state without basis or sound legal reason.”

“We find this disturbing and a direct affront on the democracy of the state, the rights to a political choice and association, and respect for the constitutional freedoms of the people, as well as the Nigeria Police Force and its agents to pursue justice and security without bias or favoritism to anyone.”

“It is clear that Mr. Godwin Obaseki has found it difficult to come to terms with the fact that he is not a divine King in the Victorian era, but a public servant and elected government official who remains subject to the law and constitution of the country. The powers of his office are not without limits and he certainly cannot infringe on the rights of others or victimize them because of their political choice.”

“If he is allowed to get away with this, and replace the present Police Chief with an ally that would fulfill his tyrannical wish to lock up political opponents arbitrarily, this could derail democracy of the state and country, and reverse the steady gains we have recorded since 1999.”

“We call on the Police Service Commission to defend its integrity by investigating this and blocking any such move by Mr. Godwin Obaseki. We also call on the President and other eminent Nigerians to call on Mr. Godwin Obaseki to order over his desperate desire to remain in office.”

Ever since this man don fall my hand during 2019 presidential and Kano state election, I don't trust him again

This could also be pre election Wailing

them don use this one brain turn Eba...bros I hail...proBuhari

2 baba's ''e be like say them want to dance .....galala na the new dance '' comes to mind

Why put CP Ene Okon in charge of bombs if not for malice against Akwa cross. Ene Okon should be sent back to Abia.

Edo CP is 100 percent for Obaseki. He was formerly CP Edo during Obaseki's era. It's game on sha.

INSTANTCASH345:
It's too early to transfer. Elections are in Sept. Let it be a month close as that of Rivers was done.

The new CPs will quickly understand the modus operandi of their new states.

Anyways, congrats to them. Let Ondo CP do well as his predecessor did.
God bless Ondo State.

Edo CP belongs to Oshiomole. Don't quote me.
