The leader of O’odua Peoples Congress (OPC), Chief Gani Adams, has warned the Federal Government against the militarisation of the general elections.

Adams, however, said soldiers could only be deployed to crisis prone states. He noted that in such areas, the military should not take over the duties of the Nigeria Police during the March and April elections.

Adams spoke to airport reporters yesterday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, on his way to Atlanta, Georgia, United States to receive a cultural award. He urged the government to ensure civility throughout the period of the elections, adding that the deployment of soldiers in the elections must be minimised.

******** What do you think? I guess soldiers need be used in the North-East only while Police in other regions of the Nation. Gani Adams making sense or not? Drop your comments below*****
