A source at the Nigeria police headquarters in Abuja indicate that the police will hinge its decision to do so on the emergence of Tambuwal as the APC governorship candidate for the forthcoming elections.
"We still believe the Speaker is not entitled to security based on his decision to defect. The constitution is very clear on that, and we are defending our position well in court.
"However, since Tambuwal is now a candidate of a major political party in Sokoto, convention requires that the Police protects him. The Federal Government takes the security of leading candidates very seriously as such we will restore security to Tambuwal
and at the same time provide same for all the leading candidates in all states of the Federation.
"If the Police feels at any given time that the security of candidates is under threat, we are bound by law to come in and provide security. If you recall really well, the governorship candidate of the then ruling ANPP was murdered in Borno very close to the election, since then we reviewed our internal security arrangements and decided to notch security around candidates a bit high," the source told SR.
When asked if the same number of men earlier withdrawn from Tambuwal will be restored, the source declined to answer, saying the only the police high command will determine such a decision.
You may wish to know that Tambuwal defeated four others to emerge APC governorship flagbearer in his home state, Sokoto on Thursday. He will square up with candidates of other parties in February.
