The Peoples Democratic Party has demanded for the immediate sacking of the Minister of Defence, Maj. Gen. BASHIR MAGASHI retired, for asking unarmed Nigerians to defend themselves against bandits.
The main opposition party flayed a statement credited to MAGASHI who reportedly urged Nigerians to stop being cowards and confront the bandits.
In a statement signed by its spokesman, KOLA OLOGBONDIYAN, in Abuja, the party described the minister’s comments as reckless and irresponsible.
But reacting on the matter, Spokesman of Afenifere, YINKA ODUMAKIN, said the minister’s comment showed that the President has failed in its constitutional responsibility to protect lives and properties of citizens.
