The Social Democratic Party, SDP,
Wednesday, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to sack all the service chiefs and
save Nigerians from imminent genocide.
The party said the security
helmsmen look confused and had no new strategy to stop the worsening state of
insecurity in the country.
It also affirmed that for Buhari
to watch the daily killings of Nigerians by armed Fulani herdsmen was
inexcusable because he was the Chief Security Officer of the country.
SDP national publicity secretary,
Princess Goldba Tolofari made this declaration in a press briefing in Abuja.
The opposition party was reacting
to the recent killings in Plateau State where scores of persons lost their
lives.
In her words, “President
Muhammadu Buhari should think twice about what is happening to the country and
save Nigeria from imminent genocide. He can change the Service chiefs to
protect and save the lives of Nigerians. Life is important. Loyalty is not more
important.
“Buhari is the chief security
officer of Nigeria. And on this premise, the life and property of Nigerians
should be his top priority. So, we are worried. The Social Democratic Party,
SDP is worried. We are weeping. And as a woman, I am weeping in my heart.”
Tolofari averred that the public
image of Nigeria in the international community had come down very low over
insecurity.
She stated that, “When you are
travelling abroad on plane, the first thing any foreigner tells you is ‘I am
afraid to come to Nigeria because of insecurity.’
“And we can’t go on as a people
like this. This has to stop. The Federal government has to urgently do
something about this waste of human blood. Every life of an individual citizen
of Nigeria matters and is very important. They are not animals but human
beings. The dead are people’s children, brothers, sisters, wives and husbands.
As a woman, I am crying out loud.
“I want to commiserate with the
people and government of Plateau State over the recent but unfortunate gruesome
killing of their loved ones by the Fulani herdsmen. It is terrible that we are
now living in our country with the fear of the unknown. The rate of insecurity
in the country is worsening day by day. It has become an ugly incident of
global discussion.
“Already, we are crying over the
poor management of our economy, yet, people are being killed everyday. See the
killings in Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Zamfara and many other states across the
country. What a hell is going on in this great country! This killings must
stop. Something must be done”.
SDP, therefore, urged Nigerians
to vote out APC come 2019 saying, “The ruling All Progressives Congress, has
deceived Nigerians for over three years now.
“Vote out APC so that lives and
property can be saved. We need to make Nigeria great again. Nobody should be
allowed to put our head down as a country.”
