The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described President
Muhammadu Buhari’s address to the nation on Thursday evening, as disappointing
and completely disconnected from the realities of the tragic occurrences in our
country in the last two weeks.
This was contained in a statement signed by the party’s
National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.
PDP, however, appealed to Nigerians to remain calm and allow
a return to normal life.
“Our party and, indeed, all lovers of peace in our country,
were shocked that Mr. President glossed over the immediate trigger of violent
protests – the widely condemned killing at the Lekki Toll Gate by security
operatives. A situation which created a global concern and drew the attention
of the world to the abuse of human rights going on in our country under his
watch,” it read in part.
The opposition party also criticized Buhari for his silence
on the demand for investigation into the Military’s involvement in the
shootings.
It added that “Nigerians had expected that Mr. President
will provide the lead for the much-needed overhauling of our security
architecture to meet the demands of professionalism and respect for rules of
engagement.”
