PDP slams President Buhari as they tag his address to the nation as an empty-embarrassing speech

#EndSARS: President Buhari

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called out President Buhari citing his most anticipated address to the nation concerning the #ENDSARS protests. 

 

According to the largest Nigerian opposition party, the President’s address is  “disappointing, depressing, and completely disconnected from the realities of the horror scenes which has taken over the country for the past two weeks.

The political party expressed their displeasure by shaming Buhari in a press statement released by Kola Ologbodiyan, the party’s National Chairman.

To them, Buhari’s address is a great embarrassment  in the face of the turmoil witnessed, the unrests as well as the killing of young Nigerians, ”is, to say the least, depressing and failing in empathy test.’

Our party and, indeed, all lovers of peace in our country, were shocked that Mr. President glossed over the immediate trigger of violent protests – the widely condemned killing at the Lekki Toll Gate by security operatives, a situation which created a global concern and drew the attention of the world to the abuse of human rights going on in our country under his watch.

Painfully too, Mr. President, as the Commander-in-Chief, was silent on the demand by Nigerians for enquires into the involvement of the military in the gruesome killing.

Sadly, the long awaited address failed to inspire any hope. It failed to address the trepidations, the pervading hopelessness, the drifting towards anarchy and provided no concrete steps on how to arrest the situation and rein in bandits, hoodlums and vandals that were let loose to unleash violence on peaceful protesters and innocent Nigerians.

In short, from the letters of the address, there were no correlations between the fundamentals of the crisis situation that we have witnessed and the long-sought reaction of Mr President.

Furthermore, Nigerians had expected that Mr. President will provide the lead for the much- needed overhauling of our security architecture to meet the demands of professionalism and respect for rules of engagement.

Mr. President also failed to use the opportunity to further heal wounds and inspire hope by outlining a roadmap to open up the economy in a manner that will enable our teeming hard working youths to pursue their productive goals as well as address the issue of pervading hunger in the land.”

The press release stated.
