The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said that the booing of President Muhammadu Buhari who went on consolation visit to Borno state on Wednesday was a testament of the view of Nigerians about how he handles the security of the country.
The party in a statement signed by the spokesman for the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, also advised the President to take decisive steps to end the killings in that state and other parts of the country.
The party challenged the President not to limit his visit to Borno state but to also visit other parts of the country, including Kaduna, Kano, Benue, Plateau, Yobe, Adamawa, Zamfara, Kogi, Niger, Taraba and other states to test the feelings of Nigerians as well as view the national devastation his poor handling of security and infrastructure has caused the nation.
The statement said, “Our party holds that Nigerians do not deserve a distant President, who sits in the comfort of the Presidential villa and luxury jets, remaining indifferent to the pains, anguish and torments that compatriots suffer on a daily basis.
“The PDP hereby calls on Mr. President to quickly embark on these visits and monitor, on first hand basis, the damage which his administration has caused and for which Nigerians are demanding that he resigns and allow more competent hands to manage the affairs of our nation.
“It is only after these visits that the Buhari Presidency will appreciate that those calling on him to rejig the nation’s security architecture mean well for our dear country”.
