The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has come out to say that President Muhammadu Niha saying he is shocked by the heightened insecurity across Nigeria is a statement that is defeatist, demoralizing and traumatizing.
PDP disclosed that with such move, the President directly proved that he is overwhelmed by his job as the number one citizen.
According to the opposition party, Buhari has now shown that he truly lacks the needed capacity to articulate and implement any remedy to the sad insurgency, banditry, and kidnapping that has plagued the country.
PDD added that they are worried about the clear leadership failure from the APC and its candidate.
PDP said via a recent statement, “Our party holds that such a statement from a Commander-in-Chief, who promised to lead from the front, is distressing as it further exposes an abdication of duty and shows that Mr. President is not even abreast of his major task in governance which is the security of lives and property.
The PDP is particularly worried over this apparent display of leadership failure as Mr. President ought to be receiving a daily brief from his service Chiefs on the actual situation on ground.
His comment therefore speaks volumes on the manner with which the security of our nation is being handled at the highest levels despite the huge resources reportedly devoted to security issues by the Buhari administration.
The PDP notes that such development has further eroded the confidence Nigerians repose on the Buhari Presidency for solutions, especially given his failures to rejig his security high command in the face of failures and demands by well-meaning Nigerians.
The party therefore backs the call by the Senate Minoriry Leader, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, asking President Buhari to resign.”
