The Nigeria Police Force is set to restore the security details of Aminu
Tambuwal, Speaker of the House of Representatives and Sokoto
Gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
According to SAHARA REPORTERS, a source at the Nigeria police
headquarters in Abuja said that the police will hinge its decision on
the emergence of Tambuwal as the governorship candidate for the APC in
the forthcoming general election.
"We still believe the Speaker is not entitled to security based on his
decision to defect. The constitution is very clear on that, and we are
defending our position well in court.
"However, since Tambuwal is now a candidate of a major political party
in Sokoto, convention requires that the Police protects him. The
Federal Government takes the security of leading candidates very
seriously as such we will restore security to Tambuwal and at the same
time provide same for all the leading candidates in all states of the
Federation", the source added.
