PDP Reacts To The President’s Statement Ask Him To Lead The Fight Against Insecurity From The Front

President BUHARI has issued a stern warning to those plotting to destroy Nigeria, saying they will soon receive the shock of their lives.

Speaking after he received a briefing from INEC Chairman, Prof MAHMOOD YAKUBU, on series of attacks on facilities of the electoral body around the country, the President said the Federal Government has given the perpetrators enough time.

President BUHARI promised to continue leading the country in accordance with constitutional provisions.

President BUHARI also said secessionists were too young to know loss of lives and other tragedies that attended the Nigerian civil war of 1967 to 1970.

The president also said his administration has no third term agenda and will do its best to ensure elections hold across the country despite increasing violence.

On his part, the INEC Chairman said that so far, there have been 42 cases of attacks on INEC offices nationwide, since the last General Election.

The PDP in its reaction to the President's statement asked him to match his words with actions and lead the fight against insecurity from the front.

National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, KOLA OLOGBONDIYAN, stated this in an interview.

He said on the issue of security, the expectation of Nigerians is that Mr. President should lead the battle against insecurity from the front like he promised during his electioneering.

According to him, the expectation of Nigerians furthermore, is that these challenges should not be limited to the issues of lip talk; rather, they should be confronted so that Nigerians can sleep with their two eyes closed.
