Charles Udoh, commissioner for information, has criticised the action of the police for only inviting the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) , wondering why APC members in the state were not also invited.

A top official of the Akwa Ibom government (name withheld), alleged that the invitation is part of the plot to take over Akwa Ibom in 2019.

“The issue here borders on destruction of Buhari’s Presidential campaign billboards in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state , a charge PDP and the environment commissioner have denied and clarified,” he said in a statement.

“The general plank for the invitation, according to the police, openly revolve around instigation to cause violence. A security agency established by law has invited us so we have to honour. We obey laws here. It started with the billboard issue and the IGP sent a team from Abuja that investigated and even detained the commissioner for Environment for no just cause.

“The APC conducted their governorship primaries in this State and three persons were killed, no petitions, no investigations, no arrest, no prosecution. As a fallout from the primaries, a police station was burnt in Okobo Local Government Area, and other sundry but weighty infractions, yet the police looked at the left and ignored the incidences at the right even with photo evidence and outcry.”

Jimoh Moshood, police spokesman, was not available for comment as of the time this report was filed. He neither answered his calls nor replied the text message sent.
