The Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenufere has
charged President Muhammadu Buhari to end the killing of Nigerians by
terrorists urgently.
Afenifere issued the charge while likening the Federal
Government’s handling of insecurity to ceding Nigeria to terrorists.
Reacting to a comment by Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu,
that a terrorist ‘deceived’ the government into releasing his wife and children
without releasing victims of the Abuja-Kaduna train, Afenifere lamented that
Nigerians now live in fear and uncertainty.
The body stated this in a statement by its National
Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi.
Ajayi said: “Since the government is expected to possess
superior power in virtually everything than any others in a country because the
primary responsibilities of the government are the provision of security and
welfare for the people and because the present administration has failed to
provide either security or welfare for the people of Nigeria in recent times,
one may not be wrong to state that President Buhari’s government greatly lost
the confidence, trust and hope that were invested in it at inception. It is a
pity.
“The manner insecurity issue is being handled is,
unfortunately, lending credence to the views of those who are alleging that
there could be a hidden agenda to these issues of banditry, kidnapping and
terrorism, otherwise, the government would have been more decisive in the way
it tackles the monster that is fast eroding the very essence of our being.
“Afenifere urges President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently put a stop to the needless sacrifice of lives of innocent Nigerians by terrorists.”
