Insecurity: Presidency too weak to prevent dangers in the land – PDP

 South-west chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Monday said the federal government is “weak and effeminate in preventing insecurity and bringing to justice rampaging killer-herdsmen attacking people across the country.”

SW PDP in a statement signed by its zonal publicity secretary, Mr  Ayo Fadaka made available to newsmen in Ibadan also  called on governors of the six states to expedite action on the Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Amotekun by recruiting and deploying personnel to the nooks and crannies of the South-West region.

In the statement, SW PDP lamented the inability of the President Muhammadu Buhari government to curtail the growing insecurity in the country, saying  the presidency has remained weak and effeminate in preventing danger in the land, a development which it said was even attested to by the senate last week. 

Commending Governors Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo); Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti); Gboyega Oyetola (Osun); Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos) and Dapo Abiodun (Ogun) for inaugurating Amotekun. 

PDP South west encouraged them to take swift actions on the security and safety of the region, adding that the encouragement became imperative due to the fact that “the nation today totters on the fringes of a combustion that poses dire consequences to Nigeria and its people.

“It is time that the Amotekun initiative was pushed to its next level of operation through recruitment and deployment of personnel through the nooks and crannies of the South-west.

We state this after taking due cognizance of a press statement by the Miyetti Allah, the herders trade union taking responsibilities for the recent genocide in Plateau state, and further claiming that the entire nation is their possession. That statement is absolutely irresponsible and capable of inciting untoward responses from other sections of the country.
