The Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) has said the Buhari presidency was jittery of a massive
protest against the All Progressives Congress (APC) government.
It advised the
presidency to face its ordeal and address the consensus concern of Nigerians
over poor handling of security issues instead of seeking to blame the
opposition and the media.
The PDP said this in
reaction to a presidential statement that the opposition was sponsoring
protests against President Muhammadu Buhari and Service Chief.
Kola Ologbondiyan,
National Publicity Secretary, in a statement, told Nigerians that the
presidency was trying to divert attention from its failures and stop the people
from marching against insurgency, terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and general
insecurity.
“It is clear to all,
including the Buhari Presidency, that Nigerians across board, have been in
protest against the Buhari-led APC administration and need nobody to mobilize
them to publicly exercise their constitutionally guaranteed rights any day to
register their discontentment against a failed administration that has
continued to live on propaganda”, it said.
“PDP restates its
demand that the security high command should be rejigged to inject new blood to
effectively tackle our security challenges; a position that have become a
consensus opinion of all other patriotic individuals and groups, including the
two chambers of the National Assembly, is well known within and outside our
country.
“Accusing the
opposition and threatening the media are therefore diversionary and apparently
aimed to validate alleged plots by agents of governments to clamp down on
innocent Nigerians, the media and members of the civil society to suppress and
foist a siege mentality on Nigerians.”
PDP said it was
awarded that the accusation is part of the ploy by the Buhari presidency to
intimidate the party and stop it from demanding that the Buhari administration
be alive to its responsibility to secure the nation or step aside.
The party warned the
Nigerian government to stop threatening citizens, abandon the usual denials and
excuses and work on the country’s security architecture and end the escalated
bloodletting.
