The opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP says that the dismissive statement by the Buhari Presidency that Nigerians should “wait on God” for solutions to the insecurity in the country is a direct admission of failure by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan says President Buhari’s statement to mark this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day in Abuja is a clear indication that the Buhari administration is completely helpless and has come to its wits end in governance; a development, which validates the position of majority of Nigerians that the President is grossly incompetent and should step aside.
Ologbodiyan further noted that the Buhari administration has outlived its usefulness and the promises as well as the assurances made by President Buhari on the fight against insecurity amount to are mere lip service.
He says the party believes in the powers and interventions of God as such comes with the commitment, determination and show of responsibility on the part of those in leadership position but the President has completely failed.

The party calls on President Buhari to brace up for leadership as required by God, take steps to equip the security system, sort out issues of welfare of the officers and men in harm’s way; and replace his service chiefs, who have apparently become fatigued with more competent hands to tackle the security challenges facing the country.
The opposition party however urged the gallant and patriotic young men and women in the war fronts not to be discouraged by such unguarded statements emanating from certain officials of the Buhari-led APC administration, who appear not to appreciate the sacrifices being made by troops to secure Nigeria.
