The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the level of insecurity and the audacity with which terrorists ravage unchallenged under the rudderless All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon Debo Ologunagba,on Wednesday, the PDP alleged that the APC administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari is complicit in most of the attacks.
The opposition party claimed the simultaneous terrorist attacks on the advancing convoy of President Buhari in Katsina State as well as the Correctional Facility in Kuje, Abuja underscore the collapse of security command and control structure.
PDP, which described APC led government as failed, ineffective and uncoordinated said the terrorist attack in Katsina as well as the ferocious invasion and the freeing of hundreds of terrorists and criminals from the Kuje Correctional Facility further confirm that President Buhari has lost control of the security of the nation.
This escalated level of terrorism across the country has heightened apprehensions of complicity by the APC and further shows that Nigerians are no longer safe.
The unchallenged terrorist attacks are plots by the APC to stall the 2023 general elections.
The statement partly read, “The failure of the APC administration to act on the intelligence provided by the Directorate of State Services (DSS) which on Tuesday July 5, 2022 reportedly warned of an impending attack on the Kuje Correctional Facility gives credence to fears by Nigerians of complicity at very high level of the APC administration.
Report has it that soldiers deployed to the precinct of the Kuje Correctional Facility were redeployed 24 hours before the terrorists attacked.
Hence,the PDP demands that the APC government should come clean on who ordered the reported redeployment of soldiers and who failed to act on the intelligence provided by the DSS.
Recently,it will be recalled that a public confession by the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai at the wake of the bloody Abuja-Kaduna terrorist attack pointing the APC-led administration of knowing the whereabouts and the plans of the terrorists ravaging our nation but deliberately refused to act. Nigerians will also recall how APC leaders publicly romanced and paid money to terrorists.
It expressed concern that President Buhari appears helpless without any decisive and concrete steps taken to stem the tide of terrorist attacks in the country.
The PDP insist that the APC government headed by President Buhari has failed in the basic purpose of government which is to secure life and properties of the citizens.
The opposition party urged President Buhari to urgently convene an emergency Council of State meeting for a review of the prevailing dangerous security atmosphere in the country.
Furthermore, the PDP also called on the National Assembly to immediately summon the Security Chiefs for a thorough investigation on the circumstances resulting in the failure of our security system.
