Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the President Muhammadu Buhari Presidency to learn from Chadian President Idris Deby and “show commitment in the fight against terrorism beyond speeches and empty press statements from the comfort of Aso Villa.”
PDP called on Buhari to speak out on reports that “Chadian President personally led his troops to route out insurgents and freed Nigerian territories and soldiers held captive by terrorists in northern part of Borno State.”
The party’s call was predicated on the fact that “this development is already triggering questions among Nigerians regarding the commitment and capacity of Mr. President, as Commander-in-Chief, to lead the fight against insurgency in our country.”
PDP is worried that “the silence of President Buhari who, as Commander-in-Chief, had promised to lead from the front, is ominous and has opened our security apparatchik to a plethora of innuendos, claims and counter-claims in the public space.”

“Our party is worried that Mr. President has chosen silence at a time, when again, he needs to stand up and take action to assure our citizen of their safety as well as efforts being made by his administration against the insurgent,” the opposition party said.
The party commended and immensely values the sacrifices by our gallant troops who are risking their lives on harm’s way to safeguard our nation against the insurgents despite the daunting challenges they confront daily.
PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, also called on all Nigerians to remain vigilant and continue to pray for our nation at this trying time.
