Popular Nigerian activist and social critic, Aisha Yesufu has attacked the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, for saying the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, allowed the Boko Haram insurgency to fester during its 16 years in power.
The social critic also said the All Progressives Congress,
APC, had over seven years to tackle the insurgency but instead worsened it.
Yesufu expressed her feelings in a post via her verified
Twitter handle on Wednesday.
The Senate President had while addressing the Presidential
Campaign Rally of the ruling APC, which was held in Damaturu Yobe State,
alleged PDP rally, allowed Boko Haram to fester.
Lawan’s statement was signed by his Special Adviser on
Media, Ola Awoniyi.
He said, “When Boko Haram started in the northeast, in Borno
state, the then leadership of PDP said it was not true. There was nothing like
Boko Haram, and Boko Haram blossomed. Boko Haram flourished, and Boko Haram
gained ground and took root.”
But reacting to the allegation by the Senate President,
Yesufu said Lawan turned the National Assembly into “a rubber stamp Assembly”.
She wrote, “The Senate President who turned the National
Assembly into a rubber stamp Assembly is accusing PDP when his own party has
had over seven years to tackle the insurgency and have worsened it. Both APC
and PDP are failed parties that should not be allowed into the corridors of
power.”
