I’ve no regrets over my role in 2015 presidential election – Ex-IGP Suleiman Abba

Former Inspector-General of Police and PDP candidate for Jigawa South-West Senatorial District in the 2027 election, Suleiman Abba, has expressed no regrets regarding his involvement in ensuring Muhammadu Buhari won the 2015 presidential election. During an interview at the PDP headquarters in Dutse, Jigawa State capital, Abba emphasized his commitment to maintaining peace, law, and order.

He stated that he adhered to his oath, regardless of whether Buhari was the candidate who benefited from his actions. Abba recounted how he was informed about former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe's interference at the INEC venue and took necessary steps to resolve the situation. He also mentioned that top government officials approached him multiple times for cooperation, but he declined.

Abba explained that his decision was aimed at averting potential chaos and violence if Buhari was denied the opportunity to assume office. He expressed disappointment that his qualifications and experience were not sufficient for an opportunity to contest the Senate seat. Abba's decision to join the PDP and contest the 2027 election stems from his desire to contribute to the development of his constituency and Nigeria as a whole.
