Nigeria In “A Free Fall”, No Govt In Charge, Says PDP

• Military and political leaders have exhausted their propaganda on insecurity.

• Panel probing Magu are hiding things from Nigerians.

• Call for service chief dismissal by senate shows Buhari has lost control

National chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, says worsening insecurity and pervasive corruption are clear signs of failings of government in Nigeria.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Secondus said says there is no sign that there is something called government in the country.

The PDP chairman said Nigerians have become helpless and accepted to live like “citizens of nations without leader and with no direction”.

He added that the clamour and yearnings of the party concerning the terrifying and shambolic state of affairs have fallen on deaf hears.

“As an opposition party, the PDP has screamed endlessly to high heavens but it’s becoming very clear to all that the ears we are targeting are deaf as nothing on ground shows that there is a government in this country,” he said.

“No attempt is being made from any corner to stem the freighting tide in our land. No effort is being made from any angle to halt the on-going free fall being witnessed in all fronts in the country. Where do we start looking at the state of the nation when all segments of governance have collapsed.

“Nothing establishes the fact that there is no governance in the country more than the worsening state of insecurity. Having exhausted their propaganda of winning the war on terrorism only in their press releases, as reality endowed on all, both the military and political leaders are now helpless and confused.”

Secondus said by asking the service chiefs to resign, the upper legislative chamber of the national assembly proved that the executive has lost control.

“Having few months back advised the executive to sack the service chiefs for having out lived their relevance and re-engineer the military for the emerging challenges, and having watched the security situation in the country grow from worse to worse, the legislators have limited option but to do what they did at least to show the people they represent that they are sensitive to their plights,” he said.

“Not even during the three year brutal civil war did we witness as much as over 300 soldiers absconding their duties and pouring abuses on their commander. Only poor leadership from the military and the polity can drag down morale of soldiers to such pitable level. The Presidency rising immediately to challenge the Senate shows also the level of confusion in the system.”

He also dismissed the fight against corruption, alleging that the presidential panel probing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) under Ibrahim Magu decided to sit in Aso Rock in order to hide a lot of things from Nigerians.

Secondus asked Buhari to step down in order to “save Nigeria from ruins”.
