The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has said it considers President Mohammadu Buhari’s planned to visit
Taraba and other states where Nigerians have been victims of a killing spree as
an afterthought.
It also described the visits as a
fresh device to further hoodwink the people ahead of the 2019 general
elections.
In a statement by its National Publicity
Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Monday night, the PDP said: “It is alarming
that Mr. President will consider visiting some of these states months after
marauders, insurgents and bandits committed their havocs.
“Mr. President has been in the
country and never thought it necessary to pay a condolence visit to any of
these states until Nigerians raised the alarm alleging a manifest indifference
on his part.
“It is even more pathetic that in
Benue state, President Buhari summoned the leaders of the bereaved people to
the Presidential villa, Abuja, rather than complying with the age-long
tradition of Africans by visiting the bereaved.
“No wonder many Nigerians have
dismissed the planned visits of President Buhari to these states as cosmetic
afterthought. Nigerians have already formed their opinion of him, and rightly
so, as a President that has never shown them concern in their time of need.”
