  • Says President’s indifference to killings is alarming

BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that no government, in the history of Nigeria had formulated a divisive body language like the current APC-controlled Federal Government, stressing that the citizens are painfully bearing the brunt. 

It specifically called on President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC to consider the need to study and emulate the measures used by the PDP to unite the nation for 16 years. 

This is just as the opposition political party called on President Muhammadu Buhari to show empathy to the plight of Nigerians by paying a visit on the people of Benue State to condole with victims of the horrific killing of defenseless Nigerians by marauders.

The PDP also said that while it painfully note the failure of the Buhari-led Government to provide adequate security in the endangered areas, despite early warning signs, his failure to visit Benue speaks volumes.

The opposition party noted that such a disposition is believed to be emboldening the marauders to continue their killing spree, divide and further plunge the nation into turmoil like the attacks in Kaduna, Taraba, Adamawa and other states.

These were contained in a press statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan in which the party further said that it is very sad to note that in its insensitivity, the Federal Government did not consider it important to send a delegation to the burial of those massacred in Benue.

Ologbondiyan further said; “Till date, there has been no Presidential visit of any sort to commiserate with the people of Benue and other states where Nigerians are being slaughtered by bandits under the APC regime.

“The PDP is worried that while innocent Nigerians were still being slaughtered and families crying out for help, the President was busy receiving APC governors on orchestrated self-serving visit to Aso Rock to endorse his personal ambition for a second tenure; a time when a soothing word and practical action from his Presidency would have helped ease the pains and reassure the people.

“We therefore urge the Presidency to be more responsive to issues that concern the unity of our dear nation and the security of our people.  

“The PDP, as the only true democratic and people-oriented party, with the interest of the people at heart, will continue to stand with Nigerians at these trying times as we match to salvage our nation from the clutches of this anti-people, insensitive and inept APC Government.”
