***** FCT ELECTION MUST SERVE AS A PARADIGM --------- SAYS
GANA
The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil
Defence Corps [NSCDC ], Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu, has ordered the deployment of
2000 NSCDC Personnel for the FCT Election of Saturday, April 9 ,2016 , noting that , keen attention
will be given the upcoming election as Abuja is the Seat of Power, and the
conduct of election in The Federal Capital Territory should be a paradigm to
all other elections in the country .
The CG made this declaration while addressing Officers and
Men of the Corps at the National Headquarters, Abuja, on the need for personnel
to deliver on the NSCDC constitutional mandate Before, During and After
elections.
Gana posited, that the election that is to hold in the FCT should
serve as a paradigm to any other elections to be conducted elsewhere in
Nigeria, while other elections may have had some form of skirmishes either big
or small, that of Abuja, will be a hallmark of very decent free and fair
election .
Abdullahi maintained that the era of the Winner Takes All and
the Loser Loses All, is over. The Corps helmsman enjoined politicians that they
should toe the path of honour and play politics of maturity devoid of any form
of gimmick , desist from going to political market to acquire thugs to unleash
mayhem on perceived political opponents .
He called on INEC to rise up to the occasion once more and be
the unblemished Umpire they are seen to be by all , as the conduct of free and fair elections both in the FCT and
other parts of Nigeria is their sole task to perform while the assistance from
all Security Agencies is participatory , as they are to ensure Law and Order
which are all offspring of peace .
Gana admonished Security Operatives that while they discharge
their constitutional roles, they should shun partisanship of any sort to
advance the cause of any politician or any political party .
The Leader of the Civil Defence said , '' I plead with
Parents and Guardians in the FCT, to please caution their wards against being used
by politicians who will want to deploy self-help tactics to gain cheap
popularity. Please note, that these
sorts of politicians can never bring any of their child or children to do the
job of a political thug, but they will always love to use the children of
innocent Nigerians to do the satanic job
of the Axe Man ''.
Meanwhile , the Intelligence Personnel have already been
deployed to comb the FCT before Saturday's election .To lead the team of the
NSCDC in the forthcoming FCT election, Acting DCG Operations, Hillary Madu
Kelechi, ably assisted by 4 Commandants and 2000 Personnel from
neighbouring kaduna, Nasarawa, Niger and
kogi States will complement the NSCDC FCT Command Personnel to maintain high level Law and Order during the conduct
of the poll.
Also, Mobile Surveillances Vans, Sniffer dogs, Special Force,
Anti-Vandal Squad have all been positioned to ensure a very smooth and peaceful
election and to safe guard the Critical Infrastructure in the Federal Capital
Territory.
Gana further, called on all Security Agencies that success is
achieved through mutual cooperation and understanding between persons who may
hold divergent views on issues. Nonetheless, the ability of the different persons to overlook their
area of differences and hold on to their areas of agreement is Synergy among
all Security Operatives, this in turn will bring immeasurable successes and
promote endless harmony.
