How Aso Rock robbery exposed Buhari’s lack of capacity to secure Nigeria
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the robbery incident reported in Aso Rock on Monday.
The PDP in a post on Twitter said the ugly incident revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari lacked the capacity to secure Nigeria.
The opposition reaction was titled ‘Bandits Invasion of Presidential Villa Shows Buhari Can’t Secure Nigeria. It was signed by its spokesperson Kola Ologbodiyan.
“The @OfficialPDPNig is alarmed by the invasion of Aso Presidential Villa by bandits and armed robbers, saying the development further points to the collapse of security command structure under President @MBuhari’s incompetent watch.
“All over the world, the Presidential Villa, as the seat of power and national sovereignty, is the fortress of the nation that ought to have impregnable security.
“As such, any breach of security, particularly by outlaws and in sequence, sends a clear danger signal to the overall security of the nation.
“It is imperative to state that such security infraction, that gave way for outlaws to invade the Presidential villa in sequence, in spite of its perceptible secured ambience, can only happen under an absentee President, who have not demonstrated the required capacity expected of his office.”
The PDP also recalled that there were security breaches in June last year in Aso Rock, involving a shooting, arising from a bitter squabble between members of the president family and some security aides.
“Our party is worried that if President @MBuhari cannot guarantee the security of the Presidential villa, then his capacity to secure the entire country is no longer assured.
“The @OfficialPDPNig, therefore, urges President @MBuhari to wake up from slumber, review his security architecture and take decisive steps, beyond his lethargic body language, to secure our nation,” it added.
