The Benue State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has revealed what Nigerians should do to the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government and the All Progressives Congress, APC, for refusing to arrest and prosecute the leaders of the Miyetti Allah.
The state chapter of the party urged Nigerians to vote out the Buhari-led APC government for failing to prosecute leaders of the group which it claimed was responsible for the killings in state.
In a statement signed and issued yesterday by its state Publicity Secretary, Bemgba Iortyom, the party said, “A government that has refused to bring to book criminal groups which openly claim responsibility for crimes against humanity committed within its territorial jurisdiction, such as Miyetti Allah has been doing over the years, such a government and its sponsoring political platform, in this case APC, deserves only one response from the suffering masses who have been at the receiving end of the actions and inaction of such a failed government, and that is a resounding rejection at the 2019 elections.”
Iortyom stated that the most sacrosanct duty of the Federal Government under the control of APC was to provide security for the lives and properties of Nigerian citizens.
He continued, “This is a duty the ruling party has sadly and tragically thrown to the dogs, leaving helpless citizens in states like Benue at the mercy of murderous marauding Fulani herdsmen and other forms of crime and terror.
“Our sanitising take is that, APC in this regard which touches directly on the security of lives and properties of the citizens of the state, has once again, through its minions, shown the characteristic lack of sense of responsibility and duty the party is known for.”
