The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) said the statement credited to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, that the PDP is not a security agency and should not be blamed for the insecurity in the country, was the clearest indication yet of PDP’s cluelessness over the worsening state of insecurity and other ills bedeviling the country.
In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party however expressed its happiness that the Chairman of PDP has finally come to terms with what the ACN and others have been saying for a long time, that the PDP lacks the wherewithal to preside over a country that is hungry for security and development like Nigeria.
‘’What the PDP Chairman is saying, in essence, is that his party is no longer fit to rule and that Nigerians should look else where if indeed they want a government that will ensure the security of their lives and property,’’ it said.
‘’Thank you,Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, for speaking from the heart and admitting that your party, the PDP, has finally reached the end of its tether.’’ ACN said it was inconceivable that a man of Alhaji Tukur’s standing, experience in public life and international exposure would not know the powers and responsibility of a ruling party.
