The Youth Wing of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kwara State on Thursday staged a protest against the deployment of Kayode Egbetokun as Commissioner of Police in the state.
Egbetokun was Aide-De-Camp to former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, while he was in office.
The youths, at a protest staged at the Kwara State Government House, requested for the immediate reversal of Egbetokun’s redeployment to Kwara State by Police Service Commission.
In a statement issued earlier, the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, mocked the ruling All Progressives Congress over what he described as the incessant replacement of Police Commissioners in Kwara State.
While addressing a crowd of supporters during a rally at Balogun Fulani Ward in Ilorin South Local Government Area of the state, Saraki, a PDP senator, said the APC prefers to change police commissioners instead of seeking people’s support.
He said: “They (the opposition) are scared to come and meet our people that is why they are busy changing police commissioner every day, but that won’t change our people’s resolve to continue to support us.”
