Insecurity: Act Now, Even Masari Has Lost Trust In Buhari, Orbih Tells S/S Governors

The national vice chairman, South-South, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Dan Orbih has urged South-South governors not to be caught napping by the possible consequences of the failures of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC to address the insecurity around the country.

Speaking against the background of the insecurity in the land and moves by APC governor of Katsina State to take fate in his hands, Chief Orbih urged the South-South governors to immediately build a security architecture around the zone to ward off any possible meltdown in security.

Noting calls by Governor Aminu Bello Masari, for residents to arm and defend themselves, and the heightened insecurity in Plateau State that has led to the evacuation of non-indigenes, Orbih reiterated his appeal for governors of the South-South States to urgently take steps to create a regional security outfit in the mould of Amotekun and Ebubeagu.

The PDP chieftain said, “APC has failed woefully to checkmate terrorists and bandits. In the North-West and North-East, they have become so bold as to march on Nigeria’s premier military training institution (NDA), just as Governor Masari has asked Katsina residents to pick up arms and defend themselves against terrorists and criminal gangs.

“Only recently, we received the sad news of the murder of the son of Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah, Captain Abdulkarim, in very unclear circumstance. The situation is not any better in the North-Central State of Plateau where inter-ethnic killings have forced non-indigenes, especially students of University of Jos, to be evacuated by various State governments.

“Governors of the South-South region must act now to protect our people before these elements  and bandits take hold of our lands. We cannot afford to procrastinate any longer. The signs are ominous. A regional security body needs to come into force quickly.”

Orbih warned that the country risks total implosion if the ruling party continues to pamper the twin issues of insecurity and economic recession  without a strategic plan on how to contain them.

“APC is like a bull in a China shop. Our country runs the risk of total implosion. The ruling party, APC  must be guided out of power before it is too late,” Orbih said of the insecurity around the country.
