The All Progressives Congress,
APC, has reacted to a statement credited to President Muhammadu Buhari blaming
Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris for incessant killings in Benue.
Buhari on his visit to Benue
denied knowledge of IGP Idris’s absence in the state, stating that he disobeyed
his order .
The statement sparked different
reactions as Nigerians and politicians queried how a president of the country
will not be aware of IG of Police’s movements and decisions concerning serious
matters.
Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele
Fayose mocked Buhari’s absence of knowledge about happenings in Nigeria,
describing the situation as unfortunate.
However, responding, the APC said
the President spoke from the heart and was sincere about issues in Benue.
The party’s National Publicity
Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi speaking to Punch said Buhari’s statement
should not be misconstrued to mean the President was not in charge.
Abdullahi said, “What the
President said with regard to the IG shows the level of sincerity of Mr.
President.
“It takes a very honest and
courageous man to say what the President said and I am sure the President is
ready to deal with the situation arising from that.
“If the opposition see things
differently you can’t blame them. They are looking for anything, just anything
to bounce back to relevance but Nigerians are wiser.”

ReplyDeleteWow, bravo APC!!! How can you defend this statement with this shallow response?You gave an order in January only for you to realised your order was not respected till you visited the scene and you werent aware?this means that the president has not been getting situation reports from the state since Jan, no wonder the attacks continued,this means that the president and the FG is not in control,weak and clueless.
