Biafria: PDP Cautions Buhari, APC Of The Danger Ahead…Seeks Immediate Dialogue With S/East Representatives and Leaders
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is deeply concerned about the unfolding political events and developments in the South East and South South of Nigeria.
The PDP also stated that it is not comfortable with
the methods being applied by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal
Government in handling of restive youths in the South South and South East
geo-political zones, who are agitating under the Biafra movement, and urged the
President to personally intervene as the matter affects the territorial
integrity of Nigeria .
The party said it is concerned that the Federal
Government and its agencies have failed to approach the situation with the
inclusiveness and seriousness it deserves, but have instead been resorting to
the use of security forces.
PDP National Youth Leader, Hon. Abdullahi MaiBasira
said in a statement on Saturday that President Buhari and his party should be
held to account for the escalation of the agitation, which threatens the unity
and national security interests of Nigeria as an indivisible entity.
The PDP also urged the ruling party to ensure and
guarantee an inclusive administration that will promote harmony among all
sections of the country.
The party further notes the seemingly lack of any
clear-cut policy direction that concerns the development, mainstreaming and
inclusion of young people in the country by the Federal Government, a worrisome
issue that brings to question APC’s campaign promise to generate and give 3
million jobs annually to Nigerian Youths.
