UN Report: Be Humble Don’t Fight, Seek Help, PDP Tells Buhari

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has counselled President Muhammadu Buhari not to pick a fight with the United Nations raparteur over the report on Nigeria saying that the president should be humble enough to seek help for the dire situation in the country.

The PDP in its reaction to the development said that the president posing as if the issues raised in the report would not be enough to convince the international community which is appraised of the situation in the country.

The PDP in the statement issued by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondinyan said:

“The PDP holds that the UN report is a vindication of its stance as well as that of millions of Nigerians that the ineptitude and repressive tendencies of the All Progressives Congress, APC, administration under President Buhari are emboldening acts on violence and fuelling impunity, division and intolerance in the polity.

“Today, Nigeria is becoming one of the most insecure places to live. Citizens can no longer move freely around their country as marauders, kidnappers, insurgents and bandits take over the highways, pillage communities, kill and take citizens captive at will.

“By fighting persons or organization that tell us the truth instead of seeking solutions, the Buhari Presidency is doing a great disservice to Nigerians especially those in communities being ravaged by insurgency, banditry, kidnapping and ethnic clashes.

“The PDP holds that at the moment, what ought to be paramount to the Buhari Presidency should not be the sentiments of regime image but the welfare and security of vulnerable Nigerians.

“President Buhari should therefore caution his handlers on their unguarded statements on grave national issues.

“He should immediately accept responsibility for his failures and seek help since he has not demonstrated the capacity to effectively led a nation as complex as Nigeria at the moment. The truth can be bitter, but in its acceptance lies the solution.”
