TRACKING_____The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has told President Muhammadu Buhari that Nigerians need nobody to mobilize them to register their discontent against his government.
The party also said the resort to blame the media and the opposition of sponsoring the planned protest against heads of military institutions was diversionary and self-indicting.
PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, accused the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government of poor handling of the security situation in the country.
“It is clear to all, including even the Buhari presidency, that Nigerians across board, have been in protest against the Buhari-led APC administration and need nobody to mobilize them to publicly exercise their constitutionally guaranteed rights any day to register their discontentment against a failed administration that has continued to live on propaganda, excuses and denials.
“Moreover, the PDP restates that its demand that the security high command should be rejigged to inject new blood to effectively tackle our security challenges; a position that have become a consensus opinion of all other patriotic individuals and groups, including the two chambers of the National Assembly, is well known within and outside our country.
“Accusing the opposition and threatening the media are therefore diversionary and apparently aimed to validate alleged plots by agents of governments to clamp down on innocent Nigerians, the media and members of the civil society to suppress and foist a siege mentality on Nigerians,” the party said.
According to the statement, accusing the media and opposition of such sponsorship further showed the confusion that pervades the presidency in the face of discontentment by Nigerians.
