The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Wednesday, condemned the incessant attacks by suspected killer-herdsmen and terrorists on innocent Nigerians in Benue state.
The party, in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, condemned the manifest failure of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) to take decisive steps to apprehend the assailants as well as provide adequate security in the state, even after the attempt on Governor Samuel Ortom’s life.
The PDP sait it held that the body language and lethargic approach of the APC-led administration appeared to validate apprehensions that the assailants were enjoying the cover of some persons in government, in the execution of their bloody enterprise against Nigerian citizens.
The party insisted that President Buhari had no further excuse but to take responsibility and adopt urgent security measures to stop the carnage in Benue and other states where invading terrorist elements, under various shades were displacing the citizens and taking control of their common patrimony.
The PDP said it solidarised with Governor Ortom and the entire people of Benue state and urged the governor not to be deterred by the situation.
The party charged the people of Benue state to remain at alert while urging security agencies to be on the side of the people in checking the activities of these terrorists marauding communities in the state.
The PDP also called on Nigerians across board, not to succumb to terrorist elements but to remain vigilant and continue to cooperate with security agencies at this critical time.
