PDP To Buhari: Why Did You Stop Jonathan’s Scheme Against Boko Haram?

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has put the Muhammadu Buhari administration to task over the worsening security situation in the country asking it to give reason why it dismantled the security architecture put in place by the Goodluck Jonathan administration to combat the Boko Haram insurgency.

The PDP has also asked Nigerians to be wary of further attacks against the party and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar saying that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC as a way of diverting focus from its perceived failures had decided to go personal with Atiku and PDP leaders.

The statement issued by party spokesman, Kola Ologbondinyan was in response to revelations by a South African defence contractor that its collaboration with the Jonathan administration to combat Boko Haram was working until the Buhari administration came in and dismantled it.

“The PDP challenges the APC to respond to reported allegation that its administration terminated the nation’s counter-insurgency operations to satisfy foreign interests, leading to escalated violent attacks and bloodletting in various parts of the country, particularly in the north,” the party said.

“The APC should explain the assertion by international security expert, Eeben Barlow, who reportedly on international television, Aljazeera, told the world that our nation was successfully routing insurgents in the Northeast before the APC and its administration terminated the counter-insurgency operation to satisfy an alleged American interest that  assisted it to manipulate its way to power.

“It is instructive to note that the APC had engaged in unwarranted attack on the PDP and Atiku Abubakar as well as sponsoring negative divisive publications in the last few days in the bid to divert public attention from this very grave issue.

“Nigerians can now see why insurgents, marauders and bandits, who had been pushed to the fringes under the PDP administration suddenly resurged in renewed ravaging of  communities and killing our compatriots unabated, while the           APC and its administration engage in lip service and empty condolence messages.

“Nigerians are aware of how the APC imported political mercenaries, thugs and miscreants from neighboring countries including Niger Republic and used them to unleash violence on Nigerians during the 2019 Presidential elections.

“The APC has failed to account for these miscreants, most of who are now unleashing violence as kidnappers, armed robbers and marauders, pillaging our communities without restrain under the APC.

“It is important to observe that the APC had failed to apologize or join other well-meaning Nigerians in forcefully demanding for the arrest and prosecution of perpetrators of the mass killings in Benue, Borno, Plateau, Taraba, Kogi, Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Katsina, Yobe, Adamawa, Ekiti, Ebonyi, Abia, Nasarawa, Niger and other parts of the country, under its watch.

“Only recently, Edo state Governor Godwin Obaseki accused the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, of always relying on thugs for elections and Nigerians know the devastation thuggery and its associated violence had caused the nation in the last five years of the APC.”
