The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has for the umpteenth time said the All Progressives Congress (APC) was incompetent to handle the country\u2019s affairs, saying rising levels of crimes and criminality, corruption and impunity have raised questions about the actual purpose of government in Nigeria.
\nBriefing journalists in Abuja, yesterday, the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, alleged that \u201cthe apparent incompetence of the ruling APC in the handling of affairs of governance has continued to take a huge toll on the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
The PDP boss further observed that the President\u2019s trip to the United Kingdom without transmitting hand over letter to the National Assembly was a demonstration of impunity.<\/p>\n
Secondus added: \u201cSecurity 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
The PDP National Chairman further lamented that things had gone so worse that Nigerians now live in great fear and trembling for their lives like never before.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom Kaduna to Zamfara, Benue to Taraba, Plateau, Lagos to Enugu etc., bloodletting is continuing unabated. Even the President\u2019s home state of Katsina has lost about eight local government areas to bandits, not to talk of the North East.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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. The \u2018body bag\u2019 governor in the state does not seem to know how to engender peace among the people; his actions and utterances facilitate instead of ameliorate the ill feelings among the people,\u201d Secondus said.<\/p>\n
According to him, \u201crather than give teeth to governance and address biting national issues of concern like the insecurity, this government exerts all its energies and resources planning nefariously how to undermine democratic institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
