The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, yesterday berated the presidency for allegedly insulting Nigerians.
Special Adviser to the President
on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, had last week said that some Nigerians
are twisting every word from President Muhammadu Buhari in the negative.
He said the aim was to demean and
de-market Buhari ahead of the 2019 elections.
Adesina said this in response to
those who criticised Buhari’s statement that the late Libyan president, Muammar
Gadaffi, armed the herdsmen who have been terrorising the country.
The PDP accused the presidency
for insulting Nigerians who criticised the failure of the Federal Government in
the handling of insurgency and governance in the country.
This was contained in a statement
by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, where he said that it
was shocking that rather than being repentant and responsive to the views of
Nigerians, the Presidency has resorted to insulting the citizens.
PDP said, “If in the course of
investigations, it (Buhari Presidency) discovered that the insurgents were from
outside Nigeria, why is the government reportedly paying ransoms to them and
even considering amnesty options?
“Is it part of governance to pay
ransom to invaders? These are the questions that Nigerians expect the Buhari
presidency to answer.
“It is therefore a misplaced
reaction for any member of the Buhari Presidency to recourse to personal
insults, diatribes and invectives against Nigerians, low or high, who had
expressed his view or demanded some explanations in the government’s handling
of the insurgency challenge.
“The simplest expectation of
Nigerians is for the Buhari Presidency to be alive to its responsibility by
strategically responding to the pains, suffering and lethal starvation it has
caused the entire citizenry in the last three years.”
