The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the
allegations by the National Security Adviser (NSA), Major Gen. Babagana Monguno
(rtd),
Monguno in a circular from his Office on Monday accused
Chief of Staff (CoS) to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari of hijacking the
coordination of security leadership.
He accused Kyari of sidelining him in making strategic
decisions in national security operations.
PDP, reacting in a statement by its National Publicity
secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan said Monguno’s statement had validated its
position that President Muhammadu Buhari had abdicated the responsibilities of
his office.
The opposition party further reiterated its call on Buhari
to resign, adding that the NSA’s letter further exposes the fact that our
nation has been on autopilot under President Buhari,
“Following Monguno’s revelation , we reiterates earlier
position that President Buhari should waste no further time in relinquishing
his position as President since it is now obvious that he has become
overwhelmed by official duties.
“The PDP holds that security is the most important element
of governance, followed by the welfare of citizens and since President Buhari
has relinquished these statutory responsibilities, he has no other reason to
remain in office.
“The NSA’s letter further exposes the fact that our nation
has been on autopilot under President Buhari, whose abdication of serious
matters of state is directly responsible for the untold suffering, anguish,
pain and escalated insecurity in the country.
“The PDP describes the Gen. Monguno revelation as a national
tragedy which showcases the fact that Mr. President Buhari has become so
irredeemably overwhelmed to the extent that the responsibilities of his office,
including presiding over very sensitive security matters, have now been taken
over by his Chief of Staff, Mallam Abba Kyari, who functions as a defacto
President.
“Nigerians are invited to note the verdict by the NSA, who,
in support of the position of the PDP, affirmed that such situation is
responsible for the failure of government to defend Nigerians and find solution
to the worsened insecurity under President Buhari’s watch.
“Our party recalls that even the First Lady, Aisha Buhari,
had severally alerted that strange elements had usurped the functions of the
president and urged Nigerians to speak out for their country.
“It is now clear that the demand by Nigerians calling on
President Buhari to resign was borne out of patriotism and love for our
country,” the party said.
