Abuja<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">As President Muhammadu Buhari sets to address the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), in New York, on Friday, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the world body and other democratic institutions to query the President on the role of his administration in the escalation of terrorism, violation of rights, electoral malpractices, corruption, national division and economic ruin of Nigeria in the last six years.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The PDP in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan noted that the sanctity of human lives, freedom, respect for human rights, justice and rule of law; credible elections, democratic governance promotion of peace, accountability in governance, economic development among others, which the General Assembly stands for have all been violated by the Buhari administration.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He said, &#8220;The party urges the General Assembly not to lose sight of the reports by credible international organizations including the US Department of State as well as Amnesty International, (AI) on cases of arbitrary arrests and detention in dehumanizing facilities, widespread extrajudicial killings, sudden disappearances of dissenting voices and disregard to rule of law under President Buhari&#8217;s watch.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;This is in addition to brazen disobedience to court orders, use of security forces to suppress citizens, media gagging, and systemic injustices that underscore the horrible situation in Buhari\u2019s Nigeria, as also profiled by the International Criminal Court (ICC).<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The PDP urges the General Assembly to question President Buhari on the failures and alleged compromises of our nation\u2019s security coordination under his administration, leading to unabating mass killings, kidnapping, banditry, arson and marauding of communities across our nation, to the extent that Nigeria now ranks as the third country with the highest level of terrorism after Iran and Afghanistan.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The General Assembly is further called upon to take on President Buhari over his administration\u2019s alleged provision of official cover for sponsors of terrorism in Nigeria, including those recently communicated to it by the United Arab Emirate (UAE) as well as a serving minister who was openly indicted as an apologist of terrorism.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;On abuse of human rights, the PDP urges the General Assembly to query President Buhari on the killing of innocent and unarmed protesters in various parts of our country by security forces under his command, particularly the killing of our young ones during the EndSARS protest, in 2020.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The PDP also urges the General Assembly and the international media to question President Buhari on the erosion of constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech; the hounding of opposition and dissenting voices, clampdown on the media and suspension of Twitter in Nigeria.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;On corruption the PDP calls on\u00a0 the General Assembly to query President Buhari on the unbridled treasury looting going on in government agencies, including NNPC, NEMA, NPA, FIRS, NHIS, NIMASA, NDDC among others, where over N25 trillion naira have been reportedly stolen under Buhari\u2019s watch.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;President Buhari should explain to other world leaders why he had been condoning corruption by, according to him, \u201ceasing out\u201d treasury looters in his government instead of prosecuting them.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Our party also urges the General Assembly to use the opportunity to extract commitment from President Buhari on the amendment of the Electoral Act to enable for electronic transmission of results as well as impress it on him to allow for free, fair and credible elections in 2023,&#8221;<\/div>\n<div
