The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked Aminu Masari,
Katsina governor, to stop his “empty lamentations” over the persistent banditry
in his state.
While receiving Faruk Yahaya, chief of army staff, who was
on a courtesy visit to the state on Thursday, Masari said 10 out of the 34 LGAs
in the state are attacked daily by bandits.
He said the security situation in Katsina state has been
giving him sleepless nights.
Reacting in a statement on Sunday, Kola Ologbondiyan, national publicity secretary of the PDP, said Masari ought to “boldly tell President Muhammadu Buhari and his All Progressives Congress (APC) federal government that they have failed”.
“Masari is doing a great disservice to his people, who have
fallen victims to persistent banditry, owing to President Buhari’s incompetence
and inability to secure the nation, by not shedding his parochial politics to
join other patriotic Nigerians in voicing out to president Buhari, the truth of
his failures,” the statement reads.
“It is indeed a distressing and colossal mark of failure
that president Buhari’s home state, Katsina, is being taken over by bandits,
who are now overrunning local governments, killing, raping, maiming and
pillaging innocent citizens, while Mr President, who promised to lead the fight
against insurgency from the fronts, continues to recede deeper into the safety
and comfort of Aso Rock presidential villa, Abuja.
“While it is common knowledge that president Buhari has
failed and especially, in his three-pronged focus of security, economy and
anti-corruption, It is now ever regrettable that his administration could be so
aloof, cold and unperturbed as bandits ravage our citizens in most states and
particularly in Mr. president’s home state. What a failure!
“President Buhari and
governor Masari must know that there is no way history will be kind to them and
their party, the APC, for their incompetence, insensitivity and failure in
governance, which has brought so much devastation to our dear nation.
“The PDP for the umpteenth time calls on President Buhari to
wake up to the responsibilities of his office, pick himself up and lead from
the front in the fight against insurgents, in line with his campaign promise.
He should either shape up or ship out.
“Our party, however, urges Nigerians, especially the people
of Katsina state not to resign to despondency over president Buhari’s failures,
while charging our gallant troops to remain strong as we work hard to rescue
our nation from the misrule of the APC, which has led to the escalation of woes
in our country.”
