Insecurity: Obj’s open letter vindicates us- PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari on the worsening insecurity in the country, vindicates its position on the situation in Nigeria.

PDP in a statement by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan Monday, described the open letter as patriotic, momentous and captures the apprehensions of majority of Nigerians across board.

The party noted that President Obasanjo’s letter reechoes its numerous cautions against the alleged violations, insensitivity, impunity, vindictiveness, divisiveness, intolerance and dangerous sectionalism that characterize the Buhari administration, which are jeopardizing our national unity.

PDP also urged President Buhari to read between the lines and listen to the voice of reason from well-meaning Nigerians at this moment.

The statement in part reads: “Our party is deeply worried that our nation, which grew in leaps and bounds in all sectors before the All Progressives Congress (APC) took over in 2015, is now dangerously sliding on all fronts under President Buhari, who has shown crass incompetence in managing our national affairs.

“The PDP maintains that had President Buhari heed wise counsel to rejig his parade and respect the wishes and aspirations of Nigerians in the national interest, our nation would not have been on this dangerous bend”.

“The fact remains that President Buhari has not demonstrated the capacity to lead a nation as complex as our Nigeria.  Events have shown that he cannot handle our diversities and ensure a united and equitable country that guarantees fairness, justice and space to all citizens without fear or favour”.

“The PDP therefore counsels President Buhari to listen to the pulse of our nation; accept his failure and seek help from other well-meaning Nigerians so as to take back our nation from this imminent precipice”.

“The party also calls on all Nigerians across the divides, irrespective of creed, ethnicity and political leaning, to close ranks, eschew all primordial and parochial interests and work together for the stability of our dear nation”.
