PDP insisted that the escalating insecurity around the country had
proven that Buhari had no solution to security challenges ravaging the
country.
The party was reacting to the killings, rising spate of kidnapping,
banditry and acts of terrorism in various parts of the country,
particularly in the northern states.
A statement by PDP’s spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan said “The party
is heavily grieved by the pain, anguish and horror Nigerians have been
subjected in the hands of marauders following the failure of the
President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to provide adequate security
in the country, despite the huge resources at its disposal.
“We task the All Progressives Congress (APC) to give account of the
whereabouts of the political mercenaries it imported into the country
from neighboring countries, particularly from Chad and Niger Republic
during the build-up to the 2019 general elections.
“This demand is predicated on fears in the public space of the
possible involvement of the imported political thugs, who assisted the
APC to unleash violence on Nigerians during the elections, in the
heightened acts of banditry in our nation.
“Nigerians could recall that the PDP had raised a red flag on the
dangers of the heavy importation of unscreened aliens by the APC to
involve in its presidential election campaign rallies. The PDP and other
well-meaning Nigerians had expressed fears that such aliens could be
used by unpatriotic elements to unbridle violent acts against
Nigerians.”
The party lamented that the “Federal Government has failed to exert
enough commitment in protecting the lives of Nigerians and curb the
bloodletting and kidnapping of compatriots in Zamfara, Borno, Yobe,
Kogi, Kaduna, Taraba, Adamawa, Plateau, Bauchi and other states. We have
been proved right that President Buhari and the APC do not believe in their campaign promises.”
PDP stated that by “every indication, the President Buhari-led
Federal Government has no solution to the security challenges of our
nation, which has festered under its incompetent watch.
“This is the very reason Nigerians are anxious for the retrieval of
our stolen Presidential mandate, which they freely gave to Atiku
Abubakar, at the tribunal, so that our nation can have the benefit of a
purposeful government that is alive to its responsibility of ensuring
the security and wellbeing of the Nigerian people.
