PDP REACT TO TY DANJUMA'S STATEMENTS FOR SELF DEFENCE, BECAUSE NIGERIAN IS NO LONGER SECURED

-

The  Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday, March 25, reacted to the call by former minister of defence, Lt. Gen.Theophilus Danjuma(retd.), for Taraba state indigenes and Nigerians as a whole to take up arms and defend themselves against herdsmen attacks.

The opposition party blamed the presidency and the ruling party, APC for inseurity in Nigeria.

Danjuma had earlier said the Nigerian Army is biased in defending the masses and urged Nigerians to take up self defence while speaking at the maiden convocation of the Taraba State University.


The Punch reports that the PDP, in a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said "Danjuma’s statement had justified its stand that the Buhari presidency and the APC must be held responsible for the agonising state of the nation".


- The opposition party blamed the presidency and the ruling party, APC for inseurity in Nigeria.


The Punch reports that the PDP, in a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said Danjuma’s statement had justified its stand that the Buhari presidency and the APC must be held responsible for the agonising state of the nation.

The opposition party said the fact that communities were resorting to self-defence or risk as masacry, was a clear demonstration that Nigerians across board “have completely lost confidence in President Buhari and the APC.”


Ologbondiyan said: “It is instructive to recall that former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Ibrahim Babangida – both former military leaders, army generals and patriots – had earlier raised the issue of continuous bloodletting in our country under the APC and the Buhari presidency.


“Painfully, the APC-controlled federal government has not only failed in finding a solution, it is also contending with allegations of conspiracy and acts that are believed to have emboldened attacks against innocent Nigerians.


“Nigerians are no longer feeling secure in their land. Our country has, in close to three years, assumed a status of killing fields where defenceless citizens are despoiled and mowed down by insurgents and marauders in Benue, Taraba, Yobe, Gombe, Kaduna, Adamawa, Borno, Plateau, Nasarawa, Rivers, Enugu, Kogi, among other states."

He lamented that the federal government is not doing much to curb the spate of violence in the country.


He said: “Unfortunately, the federal government remains aloof and has failed to take decisive steps that will apprehend the masterminds of the carnage.


“More intriguing is that the Presidency and the APC federal government have refused to clear the air on their roles in the alleged compromise of security in troubled areas, particularly the reported withdrawal of troops from Dapchi prior to the abduction of the schoolgirls.


“Nigerians have also yet to see the action taken by President Buhari against the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, for flouting a presidential order that he should relocate to troubled Benue state in the heat of attacks on the state.


 “Similarly, the strange silence of the federal government on the alleged importation of military equipment by APC interests in Kogi state remains ominous.

 “The fact that we now have a situation where the government confesses to back-channel negotiations with insurgents, hasty offering of amnesty to marauders and killers, allegations of round-tripping in billions of naira on alleged shady ransom payments and swap deals with insurgents, also leaves much to be desired under the current circumstances.

“While we restate our call for a United Nations’ monitored independent inquest into the security situation in our country, we stand with Nigerians in our moment of national despair."

Murray-Bruce describing Danjuma as a patriot said only a few Nigerians can match Danjuma's contribution to the country.

Kehinde: Episode 3... Story Halima was the child nobody wanted their child to associate with. She was a Muslim, but she had gotten out of control of her parents. Her father was an Alhaji who was more concerned with making money than whether his daughter was walking in the path of Islam. Her mother had a big fabric shop in Ayegbaju International market, where she sold imported fabrics which she imported from Dubai and all around the world. So, Halima went out with aristocratic men, for her, it was not about the money, but about the domination of these men in bed, and the class. Halima was just 18, but she had the body of a grown woman with luscious hips and ample butt0ckz, her fair skin glowed and her eyes which were always coated with Kohl, held Nubian promises. Aside her physique, Halima had also aborted so many pregnancies, that girls her age could not have done. When Khadijat started crushing on Damilola, it was Halima she told. Halima advised her to go after Damilola, but Khadijat

An American man walked into a restaurant in London. As soon as he entered, he noticed an African man sitting in the corner. So he walked over to the counter, removed his wallet and shouted, "Waiter! I am buying food for everyone in this restaurant, except that black African guy over there!" So the waiter collected the money from the man and began serving free food to everyone in the restaurant, except the African. However,insteadof becoming upset, the African simply looked up at the American and shouted, "Thank you!" That infuriated the man. So once again, the American took out his wallet and shouted, "Waiter! This time I am buying bottles of wine and additional food for everyone in this bar, except for that African sitting in the corner over there!" So the waiter collected the money from the man and began serving free food and wine to everyone in the bar except the African. When the waiter finished serving the food and drinks, once again, instead of becom
