FPP condemns reckless statement by political parties , foreign individuals, others


Foundation for Peace Professionals (FPP) , a non-governmental organisation has frowned at reckless statements coming from political parties, organisations and foreign  individuals aimed at heating up the polity just to pitch Nigerians against each other. 

In a statement issued in Abuja by the Executive Director, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, said that after the successful conduct of the 2019 general election, the two leading political parties in Nigeria have been raising false alarms without basis.

Hamzat also frowned at the interference and irresponsible statements credited to certain diplomats and foreign individuals.

According to Hamzat, the baseless and unsubstantiated alarms being raised by the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is capable of discrediting INEC, which has been working tirelessly to deliver a free, fair and credible election”. 

“PDP and it’s associate organisations had earlier claimed that the ruling APC is putting pressure on INEC to compromise the process, a claim made without any basis.

“Similarly, the APC and it’s associate organisations had also claimed that the PDP is planning to falsely declare itself winner of the election and create unrest in the country. 

“No Nigerian is ready to throw away his or her democratic right to any form of violence, not even for the sake of any party or politician. 

“Such reckless statements are not only inciting and uncalled for, they are also irresponsible because they are capable of raising none existing doubt in the mind of the people,” he said. 

FPP lauded Nigerians on their efforts in ensuring that elections were conducted peacefully.
