The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees, or BoT, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s government for killings, banditry, kidnappings, and terrorism in Nigeria.
PDP The BoT stated that Tinubu’s administration’s laid-back approach was to blame for the insecurity that has gripped Nigeria over the previous nine months.
In a communiqué released following its meeting in Abuja on Tuesday, the PDP BoT complained that the “situation in the country has become unbearable.”
The party acknowledged that there is “no concrete and coherent policy, measures and steps by the APC administration to address these existential threats, which have put the country in a precarious situation.”
The communique reads: “The BoT is alarmed by the worsening insecurity in the country, as evident in the rising cases of mass killings, banditry, kidnap for ransom and acts of terrorism by assailants who are emboldened by the manifest laidback attitude of the APC administration to issues of security, especially in the last nine months.
“These have attendant negative consequences, as evident in the nearly 30 per cent inflation rate, 41 per cent unemployment rate and alarming 46 per cent poverty rate where up to 130 million citizens have sunk deeper into multidimensional poverty in the last nine months.”
“catastrophic economic and security situation in the country has left Nigerians hopeless, despondent, angry and constitutes a present and immediate threat to the survival of the country as hardworking young Nigerians, professionals in critical fields, and major multinational companies are now leaving our nation in droves.”
