Declare state of emergency over insecurity, PDP tasks Buhari

The leading opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday joined the trail of the House of Representatives, asking President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency on Nigeria over the worsening security situation.

In a communiqué issued at the end of an emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee of the party in Abuja and signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party blamed President Buhari and All Progressives Congress (APC) for their failure “to decisively tackle the menace of terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, bloodletting and
acts of violence in our country.”

Part of the communique reads: “The National Executive Committee (NEC) after its emergency meeting
today, Thursday, April 29, 2021, considered crucial issues regarding the programs of the party as well as extensively reviewed the state of the nation, especially the escalated insecurity engulfing all parts of our
country and resolved as follow:

“NEC lamented the heightened insecurity pervading all parts of our nation due primarily to the misrule of President Muhammed Buhari and All Progressives Congress (APC) as well as their failure to decisively
tackle the menace of terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, bloodletting and acts of violence in our country.

“NEC urged President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately declare a national state of emergency on security.

“NEC also urged President Buhari to, without delay, convoke a national conference on Security so as to galvanize ideas and options to tackle insecurity in our country.

“NEC further commended the efforts of governors, senators, House of Representatives members and other officials elected on the platform of the PDP in forcefully seeking solutions to the spate of insecurity in our country.”
