The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), has rejected the appointment of Naja’atu Muhammad, a former Director of the party’s Presidential Campaign Council, as the North-West coordinator of the Police Service Commission in the forthcoming general elections.
Director of Public Affairs and Chief Spokesperson, Tinubu/Shettima PCC, Festus Keyamo, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
The party said it was deeply shocked by Muhammad’s appointment, adding that her selection is “callous and insensitive” considering her strained relationship with the APC .
In a statement by the spokesman of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, Tinubu demanded the PSC to withdraw Naja’atu as its Coordinator.
The statement reads: “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 the President.
“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.
The statement said Naja’atu, however, has the right to campaign for the candidate of her choice but should not be given a preference.
Recently, Naja’atu was sacked as the APC campaign’s Director of Civil Society Organisations.
The APC PCC said Naja’atu was sacked for incompetence and for being a mole in his campaign team.
The campaign council noted that Naja’atu lied to Nigerians that she resigned her appointment from his campaign team.
