PDP Accuses General Buhari Of Insensitivity To National Issues

Must read

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has voiced its discontent over perceived indifference of president-elect General Muhammadu Buhari towards national issues which pose a threat to national unity and stability.

The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, said this in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday, April 8, 2015.

Metuh said, “While well-meaning Nigerians and the international community are celebrating the peace fostered by the patriotic action of President Goodluck Jonathan in conceding defeat, Buhari and his party, the APC have been moving around the country instigating division, engineering crises and heightening tension in the polity.

He said: “Whereas Buhari had assured Nigerians that he would be the President of the entire nation and not of a political party, his actions in the last one week show otherwise as he has continued to display sectionalism and insensitivity to matters inimical to the survival of our democracy and well-being of Nigerians.

“Instead of settling down to plan a smooth transition and design ways of deepening democracy in appreciation of the mandate given to him, General Buhari has tacitly encouraged his men to foment crisis and cause panic in the bid to muzzle personal freedom and impose a reign of terror in the land.”

Metuh pointed out the issue of impeachment proceedings instigated against Governor Ayo Fayose by All Progressives Congress (APC) legislators in Ekiti State.

Metuh continued: “The APC’s ambition in Ekiti coupled with its odious triumphalism in the aftermath of the presidential election have led to avoidable confrontations and near breakdown of law and order in the state as the people rise to defend the mandate freely given to the PDP.

“It is indeed unfortunate that while his men are causing crisis and threatening Nigerians, General Buhari, instead of cautioning them, displays his insensitivity by jetting around the country campaigning for his party.

“If this sort of insensitivity and arrogance of victory are foretaste of what to expect in a Buhari presidency, then our dear nation and its people are headed for a long trek in the wilderness.”
