The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Adamawa chapter, has called on security agencies to take action against Jafaru Girei, the state Chairman of the Conference of Nigeria Political Party (CNPP).
Mr Bello Babajo, the IPAC state Chairman stated this at a news conference on Sunday in Yola.
Girei is allegedly claiming to be chairman of different political parties in the state. He also claims that the state has 32 political parties as opposed to 18.
“The IPAC is calling on the security agencies to, as a matter of urgency, take drastic steps to stop Comrade Jafaru Girei and his team from misleading the public which will lead to the breakdown of law and order as the peace and harmony in Adamawa state is not negotiable.
“To our greatest shock and surprise, on the 7th of April 2023, one comrade Girei made a misleading statement that will bring chaos in Adamawa State which might lead to the destruction of lives and property.
“Such a statement should not come from him as the Secretary of PCRC, and therefore we call on Comrade Jafaru Girei to discontinue such misleading statement as a matter of urgency,” he said.
Babajo also urged the general public to disregard such groups, as they are not recognised in Adamawa and of course in Nigeria.
“Again, the public should know that we have 18 political parties and not 32 as claimed by comrade Girei.
“We however stand on our earlier call for the replacement of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, before the supplementary election,” he said.
Furthermore, he called on the people in the state to conduct themselves peacefully during the re-run governorship election in the state on April 15.
