The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has summed up spate of insecurity as sign of ineptness of the President Buhari – led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration to govern the country.
He insisted that incessant killings, kidnapping, banditry, violence across all zones of the country indicates that there is no government in Nigeria.
The PDP chairman lamented what he called the apparent incompetence of the President Buhari and his party in handling the affairs of the country as a national calamity which has taken tolls on the well beings of Nigerians.
Secondus, who addressed the media in Abuja on Friday, said it is rather unfortunate that President Muhammadu Buhari is helpless and that his government has no solution to myriad of problems ranging from insecurity, destruction of democratic institutions and lack of regard for rule of law besieging the country.
Secondus said “the apparent incompetence of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the handling of affairs of governance has continued to take a huge toll on the nation.
“The security situation has been such that prominent Nigerian clerics have been raising serious concern on the issue of leadership, even questioning whether we really have a Commander-in-Chief in this country.
“While the Presidency continues to argue that there exists government in our country today, what obtains in reality is different.
“The level of bloodletting occasioned by the barrage of criminalities across the country can only be happening in a country without government.
“Things got even worse as the remaining goodwill of the people on this government vanished after it arm-twisted the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, into tampering with the will of the people in the February 23 Presidential and National Assembly Elections.
“There is no evidence of the presence of government in this country as crimes of all kinds are committed all over the country and Nigerians have never lived in such great fear and trembling for their lives.
“From Kaduna to Zamfara, Benue to Taraba, Plateau, Lagos to Enugu, etc., bloodletting is continuing unabated, even the President’s home state of Katsina has lost about eight local government areas to bandits, not to talk of the North East.
“Just last week, a female foreign humanitarian worker, Faye Mooney, a Briton was brutally shot dead in Kajuru, Kaduna State.
The situation has deteriorated to the extent that this country can no longer protect the lives of international aid workers who are here to help us clear our mess.
“The senseless continuous bloodletting in Kaduna state should be blamed on the type of provocative leadership existing in that state and indirectly encouraged by the federal government,” Secondus said.
