The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday said President Muhammadu Buhari has lost control of his Service Chiefs, following the flagrant disregard to his directive by the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris to relocate to Benue state to put an end to incessant killings by suspected herdsmen.
The National Coordinator of PDP's Grassroots Development, Bright Amewhule, stated this yesterday in Port Harcourt while receiving some members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who defected to the party. He lamented that the continued killings across the country indicate that the president lacks the will to win the war against insecurity.
“If the IG of police disobeyed the order of the president to relocate to Benue State and the president has not done anything, it means that he (Buhari) is losing charge of the security chiefs. As the Chief Security Officer of the nation, he ought to be in charge. Buhari should take the lives of Nigerians seriously because that is what he swore on oath to do.
President Buhari is not qualified to be in office if he cannot control the Inspector General of Police. He asked the IGP to relocate to Benue State but he refused, it shows that he (Buhari ) is not in charge.
Every day we hear herdsmen killing innocent people and we have heard that the school girls kidnapped in Dapchi are still in the hands of their abductors, it means the president is not serious with security of lives and property of Nigerians. He should take the lives of Nigerians seriously.”
