The Peoples Democratic Party has said the present situation in Nigeria is precarious, and the citizens are in massive distress.
PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus revealed this in his speech at the PDP 86th National Executive Committee meeting held in Abuja.
He said the people of Nigeria have been ignored and are no longer proud of the nation.
His words, “The killing of soldiers and civilians by Boko Haram terrorists in the North-East and the bandits in the North-West has continued unabated.
“A few weeks ago, angry youths in Katsina, the home state of the President, had to dump the bodies of 18 persons killed by bandits in the Government House for the government to bury and feel the pain of burying.
“How else can a people whose government cannot provide basic things like security demonstrate their anger and frustrations?
“The truth remains that under the watch of President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, Nigeria and her citizens have been degraded and people are no longer proud of their country.“
“While the executive is having their wish in the 9th Assembly, the PDP, as the main opposition party, is uncomfortable that the level of corruption that preceded the emergence of the NASS leadership is capable of undermining the desired robust legislative activities.
“Having ‘purchased’ the leadership of the parliament, we expect the cabals to now fully take over and dictate the show at the legislature. We have even seen the first sign of what is to come when the APC group in the Senate killed a motion to debate the June 12 speech of the President.
“Only a conquered parliament with credibility challenge can shy away from discussing a major address of a President just sworn into office, but that is a sign of what is to come when choosing legislative leadership is heavily monetised by a regime that claims to be fighting corruption.”
“I cannot finish this address without drawing your attention to the report just released last week by some international bodies that observed our last general elections.
“In particular, the European Union Election Observation Mission, the America-based National Democratic Institute and International Republican Institute.
“The reports of the three highly respected international bodies confirmed the feeling of Nigerians that the election that produced President Muhammadu Buhari was marred by irregularities and therefore fell below credibility standard.”
