The PDP in a statement on Sunday by Kola Ologbondiyan, its National Publicity Secretary said the repeated attack on the governor as well as the rising wave of terrorist attacks reinforce apprehensions of security compromises and lapses, which underpin the necessity to immediately rejig the nation’s security apparatus.
“This is particularly with Governor Zulum’s insistence that the security architecture in the North-East axis is being compromised,” the party said.
The opposition party said it was alarmed by the frightening situation where insurgents now have the temerity of repeated attacks on the armed convoy of a state governor, which highlights the nightmare being witnessed by ordinary compatriots as soft targets, in various troubled areas across our dear nation.
It reiterated its call to President Muhammadu Buhari to heed the call by well-meaning Nigerians, including the two chambers of the National Assembly, to immediately rejig the nation’s security apparatus by replacing his Service Chiefs with fresh hands to effectively confront the security challenges facing our nation.
The PDP however commiserated with Governor Zulum as well as the families of the victims of these incessant attacks and urged the governor not to be deterred.
It also saluted the gallantry of our troops fighting in the fronts despite all odds and urged Nigerians to remain prayerful and alert at this trying time.
