Tinubu’s Government Has Not Lived Up To The Expectations Of Nigerians – PDP

Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima

The Peoples Democratic Party has accused President Bola Tinubu’s government of failing to protect Nigerians at home, on the streets, and in their workplaces. PDP recently blasted the administration’s security record, calling for a review of strategies to make the nation safer.

Speaking while briefing journalists in Abuja, the party’s National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki, said that citizens cannot continue to live in constant fear.

According to him, conducting business in perpetual fear is a trend that must stop as soon as possible because Nigeria will not move forward if it continues.

“We believe the situation in this country is such that Nigerians are not safe on the streets. Nigerians are not safe in their places of work — be it in offices, on farms, or in markets. Nigerians are also not safe in their homes.

The situation where every citizen lives in perpetual fear, walks in perpetual fear, and conducts business in perpetual fear is something that must change,” he said.

Turaki further blasted the Federal Government for failing to meet the basic expectations of an elected administration.

He concluded by saying that a review of Nigeria’s security architecture is needed to guarantee peace across the country.

“With the spate of kidnappings and killings occurring across the country, the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government has really not lived up to the expectations of Nigerians.

We therefore call on the Federal Government to brace up and, most importantly, consider a review of the country’s security architecture.

We in the PDP believe that a situation where governors are called chief security officers of their respective states, yet have no control over the operational activities of the military and security personnel in their states, is something that needs to be overhauled,” he added.
