The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is in support of
the call for President Muhammadu Buhari to resign.
Enyinnaya Abaribe, senate minority leader and member of the
opposition party, had called on the president to resign over the rising
insecurity in the country.
Making reference to the president’s recent comment that he
is stunned over the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks, Abaribe called for his
resignation.
In a statement on Wednesday, Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP
spokesman, said by that comment, the president “displayed a disheartening
dereliction of duty.”
Ologbondiyan said the president’s reaction has eroded the
confidence Nigerians repose on the Buhari administration tackle insecurity.
“Our party holds that such a statement from a
commander-in-chief, who promised to lead from the front, is distressing as it
further exposes an abdication of duty and shows that Mr. President is not even
abreast of his major task in governance which is the security of lives and
property,” he said.
“The PDP is particularly worried over this apparent display
of leadership failure as Mr. President ought to be receiving a daily brief from
his service chiefs on the actual situation on ground.
“His comment therefore speaks volumes on the manner with
which the security of our nation is being handled at the highest levels despite
the huge resources reportedly committed to security issues by the Buhari
administration.
“The party therefore backs the call by the senate minority
leader, senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, asking President Buhari to resign.”
