Distressing: Buhari’s Home State Is Being Taking Over By Bandits – PDP
…urges Gov. Masari not to be hypocritical that APC-Govt. has failed
BY EVELYN DADU, ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that it is indeed a distressing and colossal mark of failure that President Muhammadu Buhari’s home state, Katsina, is being taken over by bandits.
The PDP noted that the bandits are now overrunning local governments, killing, raping, maiming and pillaging innocent citizens, while President Buhari, 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.
The party called 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, stressing that; “He should either shape up or ship out”.
It also charged Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State to stop his empty lamentations over the persistent banditry in the state, but be on the side of the people, by boldly telling President Muhammadu Buhari and his All Progressives Congress (APC) Federal Government that they have failed.
The PDP asserts that Governor 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.
A statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan said that it is totally upsetting that while Mr. President is busy with his unnecessary rhetoric in Abuja, bandits, according to Governor Masari, are having a field day in persistent attacks on 10 local government areas, killing and robbing innocent citizens on daily basis.
The PDP said that 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 however 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, saying; “What a failure!”
The party further said; “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 have brought so much devastation to our dear nation.
“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,” the PDP said.
