The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of abandoning parents of the
kidnapped Dapchi schoolgirls to their fate.
The party said while the parents
are wailing, the president is “busy feasting” with chieftains of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja.
A total of 110 students of
Government Science and Technical College in Dapchi, Yobe state, were abducted
by Boko Haram insurgents who raided the school last week.
In a statement on Tuesday, Kola
Ologbondiyan, PDP spokesman, said while the girls are still missing, Buhari and
his party chieftains are busy with re-election agenda.
“It is appalling that while the
parents of the 110 abducted Dapchi schoolgirls are still wailing and insurgents
driving into deeper recesses, the president and his party men are busy feasting
in the presidential villa and plotting their 2019 campaigns; of course, with
funds meant for the well-being of the people and our nation,” the statement
read.
He added that Buhari’s mandate of
protecting lives had been reduced to a “cosmetic dispatching of ministers and
persons with no knowledge of security, on mere fact-finding missions”.
Ologbondiyan said: “Today,
Nigerians are daily slaughtered and taken as captives because those who have
the direct mandate to protect them are more interested in 2019 re-election
ambition while the citizens are left to whatever fate befalls them.
“Nigerians are worried that he
has now allowed himself to be holed in the safety and luxury of the
presidential villa while citizens are being slaughtered and taken captives by
marauders and insurgents.
“Painfully, Nigerians are yet to
see any concrete action taken by the Buhari presidency to apprehend the
perpetrators of the gruesome killings in Benue, Taraba, Zamfara, Adamawa,
Borno, Plateau, Nasarawa and Yobe, among other states, where our citizens are
being hacked down by marauders and insurgents.”
The PDP, therefore, urged Buhari
and the APC to understand that Nigerians “now know the truth” and “can no
longer be swayed by propaganda and false claims with which the APC hoodwinked
the nation in 2015”.
