The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday asking President Muhammadu Buhari to resign for failure to combat increasing cases of insecurity and corruption across the Country.
\n\u201cWhat we are witnessing in our country today is a total collapse of the nation, the country is on ventilator gasping for air, under such circumstance, President Buhari should do the honourable thing required of an elder statesman in situations like this, THROW IN THE TOWEL because nigeria is on and save the country from ruins.\u201d the party stated.
\nNational Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, presided over the media briefing tagged \u201cNigeria in a free fall, as corruption, insecurity engulfs the Nation\u201d at the party\u2019s National Secretariat in Abuja.
\nLamenting the absence of attention to critical issues, the PDP said it\u2019s becoming very clear to all that \u201cthe ears we are targeting are deaf as nothing on ground shows that there is a government in this country\u201d
\n\u201cNo effort is being made from any angle to halt the on-going free fall being witnessed in all fronts in the country. Nigerians have become helpless and have come to accept and live like citizens of nations without leader and with no direction.\u201d the party regretted.\u201d
\nOn the spate of insecurity, the PDP noted that \u201chaving exhausted their propaganda of winning the war on terrorism only in their press releases, as reality endowed on all, both the military and political leaders are now helpless and confused.\u201d
\nAccording to the party, \u201cWhat the Nigerian Senate did on Tuesday when it asked the service chiefs to resign was to show to the World that there is no executive arm of government in place.\u201d
\nIt explained that having few months back advised the executive to sack the service chiefs for having out lived their relevance and re-engineer the military for the emerging challenges, and having watched the security situation in the country grow from worse to worse, the legislators have limited option but to do what they did at least to show the people they represent that they are sensitive to their plights.
\nIt expressed worries that not even during the three year brutal civil war did Nigerians witness as much as over 300 soldiers absconding their duties and pouring abuses on their commander.
\n\u201cOnly poor leadership from the military and the polity can drag down morale of soldiers to such pitable level. The Presidency rising immediately to challenge the Senate shows also the level of confusion in the system.\u201d the PDP submitted.
\nOn corruption, the PDP noted that \u201csince transparency International said few years ago that the worst corruption was going-on in Nigeria under this regime, the situation has continued to worsen\u201d.
\nThe PDP further claimed that \u201ccorruption has now become a bazar with no pretense about it with all critical agencies of government including the anti-graft body themselves grossly engulfed in it.\u201d
\nIt lamented further that \u201cthe nation\u2019s economy is walking to depression because we are least in recession and it\u2019s being fast tracked by the widening scope of corruption involving operatives at the high places.\u201d
\nThe PDP argued that \u201cthe free for all corruption going on all over the place leaves us with the impression that the country is dying and there has been a scramble for what one can get out of it before the final demise.\u201d
\n\u201cRather than confront the already exposed corruption cases, the government deliberately takes cautious steps to play it down with a view to protecting their members who are neck deep in the growing sleaze.\u201d PDP claimed.
\nThe PDP claimed after providence decided to expose the fraud going on in the nation\u2019s anti-corruption agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in the last five years, rather than bring it to the fore, the Presidency in the great cover up decided to take the investigation including the interrogation of suspects to Aso Rock Villa behind camera where all the exposed issues are kept away from the public glare.
\n\u201cAs we speak, the big corruption cover up is on-going in critical sectors, the Nigeria Ports Authority, NPA, the Maritime Sector, the Customs, the Federal inland Revenue Service, FIRS, Nigeria Social Insurance a Trust Fund, NSITF, North East Development Commission, NNPC crude Oil sale to China etc.\u201d
\nIt observed that nothing brings out the exact character of President Buhari\u2019s administration to corruption than the on-going free for for all fraud at the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, where the so called forensic auditors sent in by the President to unearth a fraud are themselves becoming visible accomplice to the crime.
\nThe PDP further stated that the nation today requires that all hands must be on deck especially media practitioners who should not relent in holding public officers accountable.
\nIt also urged Nigerians not to be distracted by the drama playing out at the various fraud case hearings whether in Aso Villa with Ibrahim Magu or at the National Assembly with two Ministers Akpabio and Chris Ngige, entertaining Nigerians.
\n\u201cThey are designs to remove public attention to the real issue\u201d The PDP stressed.
\nAccording to the PDP, \u201cin this country under the watch of President Buhari and his APC, we have found ourselves in the environment as the French economist, Federico Bastiat said that \u201cwhen plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.\u201d
