The Deputy National Chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Sam Jaja declared yesterday that the party would not sit back and allow those he called terrorists destroy the country.
Dr. Jaja dismissed as laughable the statement by the National Security Adviser, General Andrew Azazi (rtd), that the PDP is partly responsible for the current security situation in the country.
Speaking with newsmen while leading members of the National Working Committee of the party on a sympathy visit to Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa over the recent bomb blasts in the state, Dr.Jaja said there was no way the party could destabilize the nation it is ruling.
"There is no way we can destabilise the nation we are ruling. Such thinking could be an attempt to vilify the PDP. I will advise that great men of this country should take the issue as reputable and not to tribalise it or fight the PDP; it is not right. Those statements are political and we are not taking them seriously," he said.
The PDP leader warned that the current wave of killings in the country, if not checked, would throw the country into unimaginable chaos and therefore called on local governments to do more in combating terrorism through enlightenment of the populace.
"The government is doing a lot to ensure lives and properties are being protected. The FG is doing much, the States are doing more and we call on the Local Governments to do much more," he said.
Governor Yakowa said the state government, in collaboration with security agents, was already doing a lot to curtail the security threat in the state.
The governor stressed that without peace and stability, no nation could develop, adding that oil and gas, agriculture and mine, if well utilised, would take Nigeria to the promise land, especially as investors are more than willing to invest in the country.
