Return And Lead From The Front – PDP Chides Buhari

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari for continuing with his state visit to Ethiopia despite the carnage in the country.

Responding to the Auno attack in Borno State that left 30 persons dead, the PDP said that it was unfortunate that the president preferred to continue with what it described as his globe-trotting and to live in denial of the situation in the country.

In a statement issued by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondinyan, the PDP said:

“it is disheartening that instead of settling down at home and attending to the worsened insecurity under his watch, Mr. President and his officials are busy globetrotting.

“The party notes that in normal climes, with the situation in Auno, where insurgents viciously massacred our citizens, a concerned President would have immediately left everything, wherever he is, and return home in solidarity with our nation as well as the victims and lead from the front, in confronting the insurgents, in line with the demand of his office and the promise he made to Nigerians.

“But no! All the Buhari Presidency could do is to issue statements of condemnation, without a corresponding decisive action; thereby leaving the citizens at the mercy of insurgents, marauders and kidnappers.

“Indeed, what Nigerians want from the Presidency is a significant action and not press releases full of empty claims and worthless assurances.

“It is shocking that in spite of the deteriorating situation, President Buhari has continued to shun demands by Nigerians including the National Assembly and other patriotic groups and individuals to rejig his security high command and inject new blood to effectively tackle the situation at hand.

 “The PDP however commends the courage of our gallant troops in the front and urge Nigerians to keep hope alive and not despair in the face of the failures of the Buhari Presidency, which holds a trophy as the most incompetent, divisive and negligent administration, which had also abdicated its duty, in the history of our nation.”
