Nigeria On Verge Of Becoming A Failed State Under APC – PDP

The APC government lacks the capacity to govern Nigeria – PDP

Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have expressed concerns over the precarious and troubling state of the nation, noting that the current cloud of uncertainty that hangs shakily over the nation is a precursor to anarchy and destruction.

The governors expressed their reservations when they met in Makurdi, Benue state capital, on Friday.

Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto and chairman of the PDP governors forum, said the country is experiencing a shocking drift under the watch of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Tambuwal, who read the communiqué issued at the end of the meeting, said the governors expressed deep concern over the escalating tension and deteriorating relations between various groups in the country, saying the APC government lacks the capacity to govern.

According to communiqué, the governors warned that if nothing drastic is done to stem the tide of perennial and pervasive insecurity, the country stand the risk of becoming a failed state.

“The meeting noted and condemned the alarming drift of Nigeria which if allowed to continue, will make Nigeria a failed state under the watch of the All Progressives Congress government,” Tambuwal said.

“The meeting was similarly alarmed that security of lives and property of Nigerians are no longer guaranteed under the present government as a result of leadership incompetence and mismanagement of the nation’s affairs.

“While noting that governors have a role to play in the handling of some of the worsening situations, they regret their hands are tied behind their backs as the entire coercive authority in the country is monopolised by the APC federal government.

“Time has come to take advantage of the ongoing Constitution Amendment process to decentralise the security architecture of Nigeria and involve state and local governments.”

The governors also share the sentiment of those agitating for restructuring of the country, stating that this will bring together various groups, as Nigeria cannot afford another civil war.
