Tukur’s statement on insecurity, admission of PDP’s failure –ACN

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) said the statement credited to PDP Chairman, Bamanga Tukur, that the PDP was not a security agency and should not be blamed for the insecurity in the country, was the clearest indication of his party’s cluelessness over the worsening state of insecurity and other ills bedevilling the country.

In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party, however, expressed its happiness that the chairman of the biggest non-performing party in Africa has finally come to terms with what the ACN and others have been saying for a long time, that the PDP lacked the wherewithal to preside over a country that was hungry for security and development like Nigeria. “What the PDP Chairman is saying, in essence, is that his party is no longer fit to rule and that Nigerians should look elsewhere if indeed they want a government that will ensure the security of their lives and property,’’ it said.

“Thank you, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, for speaking from the heart and admitting that your party, the PDP, has finally reached the end of its tether.’’ ACN said it was inconceivable that a man of Alhaji Tukur’s standing, experience in public life and international exposure would not know the powers and responsibility of a ruling party. “The PDP hired the President Goodluck Jonathan-led Federal Government that controls the security agencies in the country, and the party’s Chairman is not unaware of this fact. If therefore he says the party should not be blamed for the insecurity stalking the land, he definitely knows what he is saying, which is that the ‘PDP is clueless’,’’ it said.

The party said Nigerians should take their destiny in their own hands by using every democratic means to get the PDP out of their lives, since the ruling party had wasted all of 13 years and billions of naira in the resources of the commonwealth since the country’s return to democratic rule in 1999. “The insecurity that has now reached a level at which daring gunmen will attack the police and the military, the very institutions the country relies upon to ensure its internal and external security, is a reflection of the deep rot in other spheres of life in Nigeria.

“To be fair, the rot did not start in 1999. But 13 years is a long enough time for a party that is worth its name to make an appreciable effort to turn things around. Sadly, the situation is worse today than it was 13 years ago. If the PDP says it should not be blamed for the country’s woes, it means it is finally ready to get the heck out of the scene to allow capable hands to take charge,’’ ACN said.

    Lai MahhaMAD should be taught that there’s difference between government and the party that sponsored it at the election.

    Even some of us that are not politician can not be deceived by ur unguided criticism, i mean you ACN! ACN are you saying there is no insecurity at the five states controled by your party in Nigeria today?Try to live up as a leading opposition party of a nation lke Nigeria. Never you believe that u re just passing a mere informations to those that can not reason with their own heads. Insecurity in Nigeria today is a general menace facing the ruling party and the opposition parties in Nigeria. Putting national issues in these like manner makes people like me to adjudged ACN as an area boys party in Nigeria.

    We are blindfolded by one form of sentiment or the other while the reality is that no matter how bad all other political parties could be, they can never be as bad as the PDP brigades of thieves and killers.

    Wonderful I thank God that our people are beginning to see how crafty and wicked the politicians are. Is it only in Nigeria that we have insecurity? Acn, Lai Mohammed, look at the name Lai, which means he is a liar, just like their leader Tinubu. I am not a politician, and will never be but the truth of the matter is PDP is the only association in Nigeria called party that is thoroughly organized, that is why their opposition to govt. policies cannot work, because they shout for all to hear, only to go back fraternize with PDP, let them know that Nigerians are not fools, they are the real fools. So Lai, and their god father so to say should bury their heads in shame, birds of the same feather. A won ole jatijati!

    ACN is making a mockery of themselves if they can wake up today to tell us that insecurity in Nigeria is a sole responsibility of one party alone where we have numerous of parties. Insecurity in Nigeria is an ant infected wood that affect every one in the home where it is dropped ,so every one both political parties, individuals,government and friends of this country should join hands together to fight this menace and keep this place save for a living. PDP is doing her best and others should join in doing thesame.
