PDP Slams Buhari Over Kaduna Airport Attack, Says APC Has Conceded Sovereignty to Terrorists

Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticized President Muhammadu Buhari's handling of the recent terrorist attack on the Kaduna International Airport, saying it underscores the collapse of the nation's security structure under the APC administration. The party accused the president of fiddling while the country burns, noting that the APC has conceded sovereignty over parts of the country to terrorists. The PDP said the attack has raised security concerns, making it clear that nowhere is safe in the country under the APC.

Key Takeaways:

  • The PDP believes the Kaduna airport attack is a clear confirmation that the nation's security structure has collapsed under the APC administration.
  • President Buhari's nonchalant response to the attack, including his decision to attend a national convention in Abuja while the airport was under siege, is seen as a clear indication of his administration's inability to address security challenges.
  • The PDP said the APC has conceded sovereignty over parts of the country to terrorists, allowing them to establish control over significant areas, including the North-West and North-East regions.
  • The party lamented that the APC government has failed to perform its primary duty, providing security and welfare for citizens, and has become numb to violence against Nigerians.
  • President Buhari's failure to address the attack is consistent with his characteristic abdication of duty at critical times, as evidenced by his cancellation of a visit to Zamfara State in January this year.

Statistics:

  • 200 terrorists launched the attack on the Kaduna International Airport.
  • The attack has further heightened security concerns, making it clear that nowhere is safe in the country under the APC.
  • The APC government has failed to impose taxes, enforce collection, control commercial activities, and secure entry and exit points, including airports, due to fear of terrorist attacks.
