Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) charges President Muhammadu Buhari to
admit that he has failed woefully in his promise to end insurgency in
the country, instead of always resorting to excuses, particularly in the
international arena.
The party says by running to Archbishop Justin Welby to declare that the
insurgents and marauders pillaging our people are fighters from late
Muammah Gadaffi’s Libya, President Buhari confirms the position of
Nigerians that he is incapable of handling the security challenges of
our nation.
We invite Nigerians to recall that in November 2017, President Buhari
had informed the Nigerian community in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire that
Gadaffi’s fighters were responsible for the escalation of Boko Haram
insurgency.
This time, Mr President has revealed that the killer-herdsmen ravaging
our nation and killing our people are from Libya.
If the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government knew all
these while that
the marauders and insurgents are invaders, then why is it engaging them
in dialogue, reportedly paying ransoms and even considering the amnesty
option for them.
In the same vein, Nigerians should demand explanations from President
Buhari on why his administration has been asking the victims of
marauders’ attacks in various states, particularly, Benue, Taraba, Kogi,
Nasarawa, Zamfara, Plateau, among others, to learn to accommodate, if it
knows that the attackers had links with Libya.
Our take remains that President Buhari and his dysfunctional APC should
simply admit that they have failed to safeguard the lives of our people
as well as the territorial integrity of our nation.
We therefore urge Nigerians to continue to be at alert and support one
another in this trying time, irrespective of ethnicity, creed or class,
as we collectively work to salvage our nation from the misrule of the
incompetent APC, come 2019.
As a party, we are already working on resetting the agenda of our nation
and we are determined to reinvent the wheel of our national fortunes.
