Insecurity: Show Concern To Citizens’ Plight, PDP Tells Buhari


The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Monday condemned the abduction and killing of security operatives by terrorists and bandits.

It also asked President Muhammadu Buhari to show concern to the plight of Nigerians being ravaged by terrorists, bandits, kidnappers and vandals “whose activities have been emboldened by the indolent and his “languid attitude.”

The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said: “President Buhari should listen to Nigerians and rejig his command structure, which has become so weak that officials now rationalize acts of terrorism to the extent of blaming victims, as was the case in the 43 farmers recently beheaded by terrorists in Borno State.

“The situation has become so bad that it took Chadian President Idris Derby to personally lead his troops into our territories to rout out insurgents and free Nigerian communities and our soldiers held captive by terrorists.

“It is indeed unfortunate that despite the manifest security lapses, Mr. President has refused to respect the consensus by Nigerians across board, as validated by the two chambers of the National Assembly to rejig his security architecture, by replacing his service chiefs with more competent hands”.
