The National Coordinator of Vanguard of Democracy and Good Governance
(VDGG), Comrade Ahmed Ali has called for the arrest and sack of Hajiya
Na’ajatu Muhammad from the Police Service Commission (PSC), following
her recent alleged inflammatory comments capable of destabilizing the
unity of the country as well as creating bad blood among the ranks of
security agencies.
Comrade Ali in a statement made available to journalists on Wednesday
made referrence to an article credited to Hajiya Na’ajatu entitled “The
Elephant In The Room: A Dent On Its Trunk,” describing it as a
calculated attempt by the writer to discredit the administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to the statement, “we observe with dismay, the calculated
attempt by one Hajiya Na’ajatu Muhammad, a Commissioner with the Police
Service Commission to truncate our nascent democracy through her
unpatriotic article where she tried to instigate the masses against the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Hajiya Na’ajatu, did not only call for anarchy in Nigeria when she
brought the analolgy of how 30-year rule of Omar Al Bashir of Sudan was
toppled over increase in the price of bread, she wrote off President
Buhari’s ability to ensure security of lives and property of Nigerians,
while calling on people to take laws into their own hands!”
The statement further stated that, “Hajiya Na’ajatu’s scolding and
outright condemnation of the leadership of the Nigerian Police Force and
sister security agencies is quite unbecoming of someone of her calibre
occupying such a juicy position in the PSC.
“In our candid opinion, Hajiya Na’ajatu’s comments constitute serious
security threat and we call on security agencies to invite and
investigate her for detailed explanation of the real reasons behind her
unpatriotic comments. This is not only necessary, but very important,
considering the fact that the country is yet to come out from the blues
of the 2019 general elections.”
The statement warned that, “allowing people like Hajiya Na’ajatu to
continue with such unpatriotic acts amounts to sitting the peace and
unity of our dear country on a keg of powder. It is not in our best
interest to allow few unscrupulous elements to plunge Nigeria into
avoidable social unrest, particularly, at this time when President
Buhari has rolled out plans to take the country to the Next Level.
“It is, indeed, shameful and regrettable that people like Hajiya
Na’ajatu who ought to be canvassing for the unity and progress of our
great nation, are rather abusing their privileged positions by plotting
to bring down a government that give them their daily bread.
“While we sympathise with the Nigerian Police Force and sister security
agencies for the unprovoked affront and castigation by somebody who is
in the position to advise them perhaps when they are wrong, we reiterate
our call for the immediate sack of Hajiya Na’ajatu as a Commissioner in
the Police Service Commission for gross abuse of office and wanton
betrayal of public trust.”
The statement, however, appealed to Nigerians to, “outrightly disregard
the unpatriotic comments of Hajiya Na’ajatu who is bent on creating
confusion and sowing seed of discord among patriotic citizens, in her
desperate attempt to do the bidding of her paymasters who are plotting
to topple the government of President Muhammadu Buhari by all means.”
