Members of House of Representatives (PDP extraction) have declared that Nigeria has been seized by kidnappers, bandits and terrorists, who extract ransoms from the poor and impoverished citizens and turn homesteads, hamlets, villages, towns and cities into killing fields under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Furthermore, the minority lawmakers demanded an immediate resignation of the President.
In a statement issued on Wednesday on behalf of the opposition lawmakers, the leader of the caucus, Kingsley Chinda said the bloodletting unleashed by the hostage-takers had gone unabated “with Buhari showing complete incapacity to arrest the situation or bring the killer squads, who roam the vast swathes of our country, to book.
The bloodletting, it stated, was spreading across every citizens’ habitation and “turning our once quiet and peaceful homesteads, hamlets, villages, towns and cities into funeral parlours and cemeteries.”
Chinda’s statement was titled, ‘Save Nigeria now from Buhari: PDP Caucus Lawmakers cry out…say Nigeria Seized by Hostage Takers, Bandits, Terrorists…as Mr President Shows Utter Disdain for Constitution…Calls on Buhari to Resign’.
The caucus said, “Everywhere we turn today, our dead are either being prepared for burials by families, whose hearts are torn up by grief, or they are being mourned by families, who can’t tell where the corpses of their loved ones are or where the killer squads will turn up next.
“Here is the stark truth of the Nigerian condition under Buhari’s ruinous rule: citizens are in a prolonged, severe and intense state of mourning that has kept them stuck in acute anguish, pain and trauma.”
