one of the major political parties in Nigeria.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned in the
strongest terms, the gruesome beheading of innocent farmers by
insurgents in Zabarmari, Borno state.
In statement issued on Sunday, the party described the act as
extremely wicked and devilish, saying it must not be left
unaddressed.
It also noted that “this horrific killing of compatriots comes
as yet another of the recurring horrid testament and badge of
failure of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration to
secure our nation and guarantee the safety of lives and property in
our country”.
With several incidents ravaging the country, the PDP lamented
how “the Buhari administration continues with its lip service,
rhetoric and false performance claims”.
The party, therefore, asked President Buhari to take decisive
actions to ensure that the fight against insurgents is taken more
seriously.
They believe that the president’s “inaction” has led to an
escalation of killings in the country.
“The PDP is particularly disturbed because of the failure of the
Buhari Presidency to take decisive action despite series of
concerns raised by Borno state governor, Baba Gana Zulum, of
security compromises in the state. “The Buhari administration
appears helpless while our national security structure under
President Buhari seems to have collapsed. Our nation appears to be
on auto pilot with no one in charge while the ship of state
continues to drift.
“All our nation gets from the Buhari Presidency is that ‘Mr.
President is shocked’, ‘Mr. President is saddened’, ‘Mr. President
regrets’ and such lame responses without any decisive policy
direction or directive to definitively tackle the situation at
hand, leading to escalation of killings in our country.

“Such attitude by the Buhari administration has continued to
embolden insurgents to the extent that they now attack military
formations, convoys of state governors and engage in wanton
beheading of our compatriots.
“It is distressing that despite this sorry situation, Mr.
President, who promised to lead from the front, has receded into
the safety of Aso Presidential villa and refused to act on the
consistent demands of Nigerians to rejig the national security
architecture and replace the service chiefs with more capable hands
to affectively tackle our security challenges.
“The PDP charges President Buhari to stop his unhelpful
rhetoric. He should sit up and take actions that will safeguard the
lives of Nigerians who have been subjected to all manners of mental
and physical torture under this incompetent administration.
“Mr. President should immediately move to Zabarmari in Borno
state, empathize with the families of the victims and lead from the
front in restoring security in the area”.
The PDP commiserated with the government and people of Borno
State and urged Nigerians to remain at alert particularly in
providing useful information for security agencies in fighting
insurgency.
