…condemns President for not taking action against killings
Main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, on Wednesday, accused President Muhammadu Buhari of maintaining worrying silence while the country is being set ablaze by terrorists.
The PDP specifically lambasted Buhari for being silent in the face of terrorists’ occupation, mass killings, kidnapping, acts of banditry and escalated insecurity enveloping Nigeria.
PDP spokesman Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement, lamented that President Buhari had kept silent while the nation burns.
The party also accused Buhari of worsening the situation and emboldening terrorists to unleash more violence on the nation.
The PDP’s statement read, “Due to the incompetence, divisiveness and insensitivity of the Buhari Presidency, violence, killings, bloodletting and a gripping reign of terror have seized all parts of our nation and there is no hope in sight.
“It is a mark of failure that the Buhari Presidency and the APC appear unconcerned as terrorists and bandits take control of various parts of our country and even hoisted their flags in Shiroro, Niger State, a distance of about 200 kilometres to our Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.
“The Buhari Presidency and the APC appear unperturbed and are only interested in their 2023 power grabbing plot while terrorists are having a field day plundering and murdering our compatriots on daily basis.
“Our party has already been made aware of how the APC has been gaging its members from speaking out against the failure of the Buhari Presidency and the APC to tackle insecurity in our country.
“Nigerians are invited to note how APC Senator Smart Adeyemi, who dared to speak out against the failure of the Buhari Presidency on the floor of the Senate, was reminded by Senator Remi Tinubu that he, Senator Adeyemi, is not a member of the PDP and as such should not show concern to the ugly situation in our country.”
