The National Chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus, on Wednesday led leaders of the Party on a condolence visit to Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State over the recent killing of 39 people by bandits.
Leaders that accompanied Secondus include former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Governors of Jigawa, Kano and Sokoto states, Suleiman Lamido, Ibrahim Shekarau and Attahiru Bafarawa as well as the former Minister of Special Duties, Kabiru Turaki.
Speaking, Secondus stated that President Muhammadu Buhari had failed woefully in the area of security.
He said: “The current federal government has failed woefully. It is important that Nigerians should look on to God for intervention, not the government again.
“People now live in perpetual fear because they don’t know where the killing will happen next.”
“Nigeria cannot give an accurate figure of the death recorded from January to date because what they see across the nation every day is blood flowing and bloodletting which had never happened in the history of the nation.
“This is why I lead this high powered delegation to come here and console you. We know you are in pain and we are in pain too because whatever happened in Sokoto, touches across the nation because we are our brothers’ keepers. It is really a sad event.”
