The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked members of the National Assembly to cut shot their vacation and summon President Muhammadu Buhari over the rising insecurity across the country.
The party in a press conference on Wednesday by it’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan alerted that the security situation in the country has gone so bad that school children cannot go to schools, farmers cannot go to farms and most unfortunately, the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) Kaduna was desecrated by bandits to the extent that bandits entered the academy and snuffed live out of three officers and took one away effortlessly.
“We as a party is calling on the National Assembly to call shots their vacation and return to plenary, and apply their drastic legislative instrument by summoning President Muhammadu Buhari to the National Assembly in an open session to come and tell Nigerians, why our nation has bled, this much, and how the security apparatus of our country has totally collapsed in the hands of Mr President, and the All Progressives Congress.
“We call on the Nigerian governors forum and all stakeholders across the country to wake up and rescue our country. Time is running out. Terrorists and bandits have taken over our land” PDP said.
The party lamented that the nation is collapsing under the watch of President Buhari as bandits and crirminals are operating freely from every party of the country including the home state of the President.
The party recalled that just last Tuesday 39 helpless Nigerians were masacarred in Plateau state leading to the closure of University of Jos while several state Governors currently evacuating their citizens.
The party further pointed out that the security situation has so much detoriarated that governor of Katsina State, Buhari’s home state had to ask his citizens to seek for any means to protect themselves.
“The Katsina state governor had announced in the state that citizens who have no gun, who have no means of defense, to come up and defend themselves against terrorist, assailants and bandits. This situation appears to have politically, overwhelmed, Mr President and is very painful.
“His administration have not demonstrated any capacity to protect lives and property of our country.
“We cannot continue this way. We cannot continue to put our hope on nothing. The situation that our children cannot go to school, a situation that farmers cannot go to their farmland is unacceptable,” PDP lamented.
The party asked Nigerian to keep their faith alive with the opposition party, claiming that it has all it takes to reverse the trend and get the country back on the path of growth.
