Osinbajo’s Kidnapping Comment Shows That Buhari, APC Have No Concern For Nigerians – PDP

  • PDP says Osinbajo’s statement means victims of kidnapping have not suffered enough.
  • Says Osinbajo has displayed President Muhammadu Buhari’ s incompetence.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the dismissal of the alarming spate of kidnapping in the country by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo further confirms that the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration has no iota of concern towards the pain and suffering of Nigerians.

The opposition party in a statement signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, its National Publicity Secretary in Abuja on Wednesday said the attempt to play down on the menace as not being “as massive as that”,  showed that Osinbajo the APC-led government are not connected with the people but only pretends towards them during electioneering.

Ologbondiyan further stated what Osinbajo implied on the security problem simply means victims of kidnapping as far as the APC and its administration are concerned have not suffered enough.

“The PDP says that such anti-people disposition, as being witnessed under the APC, can only come from an uncaring and insensitive administration that does not have the mandate of the people.

“It is therefore unfortunate that instead of being remorseful and seeking solutions, Prof. Osinbajo is rather playing on the sensibility of Nigerians by attempting to justify his comment, which has been widely condemned by citizens from all walks of life.”

He further noted that the vice president has displayed President Muhammadu Buhari’s incompetence and failure in securing the nation.

“He has also ridiculed his office in the eye of the international community, who is well aware of the gravity of kidnapping and other security challenges confronting our nation.

“What has Prof. Osinbajo said to the families whose breadwinners have been killed by kidnappers and many more who are still languishing in kidnappers den?,” he asked.

The party further wondered when the problem of kidnapping will become “massive” for the APC administration to address when medical doctors, community heads, faith-based leaders, government officials and their relations, students, innocent school children, pregnant women and even expatriates are being kidnapped in various parts of the country.

“While our party and indeed millions of Nigerians appreciate the efforts by our security operatives in fighting this menace, despite the operational challenges imposed on them by the incompetent APC administration, the PDP insists that President Buhari must bear the blame for the persistence of the security problems.

“This is the reason Nigerians, at the 2019 general election, preferred a more capable and patriotic leader in Atiku Abubakar, who had already set out an operable blueprint to frontally confront and address the security challenges facing our nation without resorting to unnecessary blame game.”
