With the deteriorating security challenges in the country, President Muhammadu Buhari has been asked to cut short his private visit to the United Kingdom by the Peoples Democratic Party and immediately return to Nigeria and address the issues bedeviling the country.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement also said it was completely unacceptable for Buhari to abandon his responsibilities as the Commander-In-Chief, to pursue unexplained private matters abroad, while bandits, marauders and insurgents seize, maim, kidnap and kill in Nigeria.
He said, “President Buhari’s inattention has emboldened insurgents and bandits to continue to over-run communities, unleash mayhem and bloodletting on citizens in Borno, Zamfara, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, Taraba, Kaduna, Benue, Kogi and other states of the federation, including Buhari’s home state, Katsina where the father in-law of his security aide, Musa Umar, was abducted.
“Also, bandits reportedly attacked Government Girls Secondary School, Moriki, and kidnapped some school girls. While the Buhari administration remains virtually nonchalant, kidnappers have taken over many of our major highways, with hundreds of compatriots held in captivity in forests along Kaduna-Abuja, Taraba-Katsina-Ala and other highways in the country,” he added.
Ologbondiyan noted the allegations that some of the bandits arrested in states such as Katsina, are not Nigerians but aliens. He urged the police to investigate the matter.
