The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, on Tuesday has begged security agents to make sure they do not engage in any kind of interference in matters regarding politics in Nigeria.
Speaking at the PDP presidential rally at Jalingo in Taraba State, he also promised to elevate Taraba State from where they were currently to where they want to be.
His words, “Our security services have no business to interfere with our political process; that is not your work. Your work is to make sure that there is peace, law and order. It is not your business to interfere in our political process. This is not your constitutional responsibility at all. Your constitutional responsibility is to make sure that we are all safe.
“Any government that draws the security agencies, the police, the army, the civil defence, that government is doing more harm to your career, it is doing more harm to your patriotism and more harm to yourself. Don’t accept that, don’t get involved, allow us to choose the leaders we want to choose and to elect the people we want to elect. It is not your business whom we elect at all.
“So I want to caution the security services not to get involved because there are many of us who are also security officers, so don’t come and tell us bullshit.”
