The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to come clean on the killing of
Nigerians by Fulani herdsmen.
The party said Buhari’s cold
attitude towards the activities of the herdsmen in Benue, Taraba and other
parts of the country is pregnant with meaning.
PDP National Publicity Secretary,
Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement, yesterday, said the PDP condemned wanton
killings across the country and urged President Muhammadu Buhari to take
decisive actions to address the situation.
“We strongly condemn unabated
killings across the country. We call on Mr. President to come out clean on
herdsmen killings and address the nation on how to end the carnage. The
president must take responsibility on the protection of life and property, which
is the most important of his responsibilities.
“We believe that the federal
government’s decision to set up a committee, to address issues of herdsmen
killings, is a pretentious approach to a matter that requires firm action and
leadership by the president, in line with his oath of office; to protect all
Nigerians irrespective of creed, tribe and political affiliation.
“The PDP has been the author of
restructuring and this was further expressed in the report of the 2014 National
Conference. The APC, as a latter day convert of restructuring, is merely paying
lip service to a matter of national importance. However, we have mandated our
members in the National Assembly to, immediately, commence the process of
initiating a bill; to address issues bothering on restructuring.”
