Presidency, APC Complicit In Dapchi Schoolgirls Abduction – PDP

Must read

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Sunday, February 25, 2018, told the Presidency and the All Progressives Congress, APC, to stop shedding crocodile tears and provide answers to urgent questions surrounding the abduction of schoolgirls in Dapchi, Yobe state.

Kola Ologbondiyan. the national publicity secretary of the party, stated that the Muhammadu Buhari led Administration had a lot of questions to answer regarding the alleged compromise of security around the area as well as the misleading reports that frustrated immediate rescue of the abducted girls.

It said: “Nigerians have been in shock over revelations by the Yobe State governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Gaidam, that the abduction was preceded by withdrawal of troops around Dapchi, thereby rendering the area defenceless and paving the way for insurgents to attack and abduct our girls.”

“We challenge the Presidency to come out clean on issues surrounding this abduction. Who authorized the said withdrawal of troops from the area and for what purpose? What were alternative security measures put in place to protect the people after the troops were withdrawn? Who controls security intelligence gathering and consequential protection action and what action was taken to guarantee adequate security in the area?”

“Furthermore, we charge the Federal Government to open up on who scripted and released the false rescue report which frustrated prompt action that would have led to the recovery of our innocent girls? Why was that misleading report issued and whose interest did it serve?”

“Indeed, from all indications, every right thinking Nigerian has deduced that there are more than meet the eyes in this ugly episode for which those in authority have a lot of questions to answer.”

“We invite the world to note that after exposing the community to harm and frustrating prompt rescue, the incompetent APC-controlled Federal Government has not taken any concrete step to give the abductors the desired chase to recover our girls.”

“Rather, they sent a delegation of persons with no knowledge of security to Dapchi on fact-finding missions.”

“The PDP and indeed all well-meaning Nigerians are appalled by the crocodile tears being shed by the incompetent and deceptive APC-Federal Government instead of scaling up actions on the matter.”

“It is on this note that we call on our security agencies to stand up to the challenge and do their professional best to ensure the safe return of our girls.”
