Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC), of incompetence and corruption amid Nigeria\u2019s worsening security crisis.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Channels TV Politics Today, Okonkwo highlighted the government\u2019s failure to properly support the armed forces.<\/p>\n

He alleged that, \u201cmembers of the armed forces are being killed because the APC could not provide more boots on the ground, nor modern equipment to fight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven Boko Haram insurgents are now using drones, while our soldiers are barely fighting with their hands. Morale is extremely low.\u201d<\/p>\n

Okonkwo also criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for continuing his UK visit while Nigeria grapples with security challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have a president treading on the blood of Nigerians being killed in the name of a red carpet in London.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe went there to celebrate and took the Minister of Defense with him; his vice president went to Anambra, the three of the most principled security officials are sidelined. This is happening when the nation is bleeding,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Okonkwo comparedTinubu\u2019s actions with the United States\u2019 handling of fallen soldiers, noting: \u201cLet me tell you, when six members of the US armed forces were killed, Donald Trump personally received their bodies in a dignified transfer of heroes. But here, our soldiers are dying and the government does not show the same respect or urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou call APC a living party? APC is for the powerful. ADC is for the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
