The Ohaneze Ndigbo, the leading
Igbo social-political group, has told President Muhammadu Buhari that no sane
person will vote for him come 2019 Presidential election.
Speaking with Punch, the National
Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze, Prince Uche Achi-Okpaga, pointed out that
Buhari’s failure to check the menace of the herdsmen would affect his chances
for re-election in 2019.
Achi- Okpaga said that “no sane
person would vote for a government that was not able to secure the lives of its
citizens.”
He noted that it was strange that
the country’s security agencies, which he described the “best in Africa”, had
been unable to deal with the herdsmen.
His words, “The spate of blatant
and inconceivable killings of helpless Nigerians by the Fulani herdsmen have
been so alarming and uncontrollable. I have no doubt that the studied silence
of the Federal Government is deliberate.
“No sane person will risk to vote
for a government that has conspicuously displayed irresponsibility to the
security of her citizens.
“Apart from the killings at
Nsukka and Awgu (Enugu State), the people of Benue, in general, have been
severally and severely killed in tens and hundreds without the Commander – in –
Chief of the Armed Forces , making a national broadcast or giving a specific
instruction on the matter even when the treasury of Nigeria was depleted to
give him adequate medical attention to save his own life.”
