“The President either does not know what is happening or does know what to do, otherwise he should not be afraid to face the people.”
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has chided President Muhammadu Buhari for not honouring the invitation by the House of Representatives to come and address the National Assembly on rising insecurity in the country.
Uche Secondus, PDP National Chairman, told newsmen yesterday that the development showed that the president leads a broken government.
He said: “President Muhammadu Buhari who was scheduled to address the nation’s parliament today (Thursday) backed out after confirming to them he was coming.
“This back and front from the President on vital issue of security that is overwhelming our nation underscores our position as an opposition party that nobody is in-charge and that this is a broken government.
“Disregarding the nation’s parliament is disregarding Nigeria people because they are representatives of the people. The worrisome truth is that the President either does not know what is happening or does know what to do, otherwise he should not be afraid to face the people.
“The hard fact facing all of us now is that this regime has woefully failed Nigerians in all ramifications.
“It’s a shame that a government that came to power brandishing its military credential as a General with the propaganda to wipe away Boko Haram in 100 days is there five years plus presiding over the worst security situation in our history with no clear direction on what to do and even afraid to face the country’s the parliament to explain what he is doing.”
