The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the cancellation of the
55th Independence Anniversary parade by the Kwara State Government on
security concerns.
In a statement issued by the State Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Sulyman
Buhuri, the party said the greatest security threat to the prevaling peace
in Kwara State is the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The APC noted that barely two days that the leadership of the PDP
threatened “spiral violent activities”, there is security reports that
certain individuals have been mobilised with the intention of unlawfully
disrupting the independence day celebration.
The party said it is not a mere coincidence and urged security agencies to
start investigation from within the PDP fold.
The party commended the Kwara State Government on the wise decision to
cancel the event, saying, indeed, public safety is more paramount
