Banditry: Stop Covering Buhari, PDP Mocks Masari

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State, to stop what it claimed as his empty lamentations over the persistent banditry in the state and to boldly call out President Muhammadu Buhari as having failed.

The PDP in a statement said that history will not be kind to Masari if he continues to hide the failures of President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the issue.

The PDP in the statement issued by its spokesman, Kola Ologbodinyan said that Governor Masari is doing a great disservice to his people, who have fallen victims to persistent banditry, owing to “President Buhari’s incompetence and inability to secure the nation, by not shedding his parochial politics to join other patriotic Nigerians in voicing out to President Buhari, the truth of his failures.

“It is indeed a distressing and colossal mark of failure that President Buhari’s home state, Katsina, is being taken over by bandits, who are now overrunning local governments, killing, raping, maiming and pillaging innocent citizens, while Mr. President, who promised to lead the fight against insurgency from the fronts, continues to recede deeper into the safety and comfort of Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Noting recent comments by Masari on the activities of bandits in Katsina State where Buhari comes from, the PDP said:

“It is totally upsetting that while Mr. President is busy with his unnecessary rhetoric in Abuja, bandits, according to Governor Masari, are having a field day in persistent attacks on 10 local government areas, killing and robbing innocent citizens on daily basis.

“While it is common knowledge that President Buhari has failed and especially, in his three-pronged focus of security, economy and anti-corruption, it is however regrettable that his administration could be so aloof, cold and unperturbed as bandits ravage our citizens in most states and particularly in Mr. President’s home state. What a failure!

“President Buhari and Governor Masari must know that there is no way history will be kind to them and their party, the APC, for their incompetence, insensitivity and failure in governance, which have brought so much devastation to our dear nation.

“The PDP for the umpteenth time calls on President Buhari to wake up to the responsibilities of his office, pick himself up and lead from the front in the fight against insurgents, in line with his campaign promise. He should either shape up or ship out.”
