THE People’s Democratic Party says the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has again proven that it is helpless in solving the nation’s security challenges.
The opposition party was responding to Friday’s comments by Presidential Spokesman, Femi Adesina, who was quoted as saying only God has the solution to Nigeria’s security problems.
In a statement titled ‘Wait on God’: Do Your Part, PDP Replies Buhari Presidency, signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja, on Saturday, the PDP said, “The dismissive statement by the Buhari Presidency that Nigerians should ‘wait on God’ for solutions to the insecurity in our country is a direct admission of failure by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The statement has shown clearly that the Buhari administration is completely helpless and has come to its wits end in governance; a development, which validates the position of majority of Nigerians that President Buhari is grossly incompetent and should step aside.
“This statement further goes to confirm that the Buhari’s administration has outlived its usefulness, if it had any, and that the promises and assurances made by President Buhari, on the fight against insecurity amount to mere lip service, the PDP further declared”.
According to the party, while it believes in the powers and interventions of God, it restates that such comes with the commitment, determination and show of responsibility on the part of those in leadership position; an obligation in which the Buhari Presidency has completely failed.
“We therefore find it disturbing that while our nation passes through this trying time, officials of the Buhari Presidency are shamelessly alluding to how they sleep in the comfort of their homes ‘ensconced in the tender bosom’ of their wives and girlfriends,” Ologbondiyan further said.
“This is even more distressing coming from the office of the Commander in Chief, who had failed in his promise to lead the fight against terrorists from the fronts.
“It is however instructive to note that the Buhari Presidency acts as if it is not in sync with the reality of our nation. “
He further noted that it appears the presidency does not appreciate the situation in which terrorists, who had been pushed to the fringes, before President Buhari took over in 2015, had now resurged to hold our nation to ransom under its incompetent watch.
The party spokesman said, “Instead of this dismissive stance, our party calls on President Buhari to brace up for leadership as required by God, take steps to equip our security system, sort out issues of welfare of our men on harm’s way; and replace his service chiefs, who have apparently become fatigued, with more competent hands to tackle the security challenges of our nation”.
