Kwara PDP Condemns Police Actions Against Opposition
The Kwara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticized Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and the All Progressives Congress (APC) for allegedly attempting to "weaponise" the police against opposition members following a political incident in Agaka, Ilorin. The PDP condemned the police's invitation of Comrade Amuda Eleru Lagaka and other supporters over assault allegations, claiming the actions were politically motivated and aimed at criminalizing legitimate opposition.
The party linked the incident to the rejection of a N5,000 empowerment initiative by APC women leader Alhaja Tawa Agaka, asserting that the APC is trying to turn a political embarrassment into a criminal issue. The PDP commended the Kwara State Police Command, particularly Commissioner of Police Adekimi Ojo, for their professionalism.
The party urged the police to resist political pressures and warned Governor AbdulRazaq against actions that could escalate political tensions ahead of the 2027 elections, advocating for peaceful political engagement.
