Nigeria’s main opposition party, People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has said the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, led Federal Government lacked the capacity to manage the nations’ security.
The PDP said that the recent kidnap of 110 Dapchi schoolgirls, who were abducted from the Government Girls’ Science and Technical College (GGSTC), Dapchi, Yobe State, was a proof that the dreaded Boko Haram sect has not been defeated as claimed by the Federal government.
PDP made the statement in Port Harcourt while receiving over 2000 members of Ikwerre Youth Movement, IYM, loyal to APC, who decamped to PDP through Grassroots Development Initiative, GDI.
Speaking, the Publicity Secretary of PDP in Rivers State, Mr. Samuel Nwanosike, questioned the identity of those responsible for the kidnap if indeed Boko Haram had been defeated, stressing that the success of the war against insurgents was only in the media.
He said: “The abduction of the students in Dapchi shows that the government of President Muhammadu Buhari has failed in the promise they made to Nigerian that they will conquer and completely destroy Boko Haram and any other organization that portends danger to the lives of Nigerians.
He, however, accused the FG of insensitivity to the plights of its citizens, adding that hunger and killings have characterized the nation.
“The government is insensitive to the plights of the people of the nation. I don’t think the president knows he is the Chief Security Officer of the country. To us, look at what Donald Trump did in the case of Florida shooting, you see the kind of attention he gave to Americans that died, you will see what Nigerians want from our president. We in the PDP have been vindicated,” Nwanosike added.
