The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of failure to take decisive steps
to end “bloodletting and guarantee a stable, peaceful and secure nation.”
PDP made the remark while
lamenting that Buhari had no solution to Nigeria’s insecurity challenges.
In a statement by its
spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Sunday, the opposition party said it was
“completely inexcusable that as an individual, occupying the seat of the
Commander-In-Chief, President Buhari has failed to organize his parade and
articulate a decisive and operable strategy to effectively end violence in our
nation.”
PDP observed that the Buhari
Presidency “only stops at issuing condemnations, publishing commiserations and
embarking on condolence visits with empty assurances, but takes no definite
steps to address the situation and bring culprits to book.”
The party said: “At most,
Presidency officials sit in the safety and comfort of Aso Rock to task state
governors and traditional rulers, without concrete security measures to rout
perpetrators.
“This complete failure of
leadership and abdication of the statutory duties of the President indicates
that the Buhari Presidency has no solutions towards ensuring the security of
lives and property in our nation.
“Such failure by the Buhari
Presidency is emboldening perpetuation of violent acts against defenceless
citizens by insurgents, bandits, marauders, and kidnappers freely pillaging our
compatriots in various parts of our country.
“Each passing day, our nation is
jolted by shocking news of avoidable violence, mindless killings, preventable
bloodlettings, loss of breadwinners and murder of promising citizens. Indeed,
this is not the way to go.
“Our party notes as saddening
that under President Buhari, who promised to lead from the front, only to
withdraw to the safety of Aso Rock, Nigerians can no longer move freely around
their country as insecurity pervades on all fronts.
“Instead of seeking help and
yielding to competent and patriotic counsel from well-meaning Nigerians, the
Buhari Presidency has remained heavy on propaganda and false performance
indices.
“PDP, as a party, immensely
commends the sacrifices of our gallant troops who are risking their lives in
the front to secure other citizens. Nigerians indeed appreciate their
sacrifices at this trying time in our national history.”
The party called on Nigerians to
be more alert and prayerful, continue to be their brother’s keepers and remain
steadfast in the collective quest to retrieve the stolen Presidential mandate
at the court as the only option to pull our nation out of the woods in which it
was plunged by the Buhari administration.
