Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Tony Anenih has said that only the Federal government cannot handle the job of ensuring the safety of lives and property of all Nigerians.
Speaking while on an appreciation visit to the PDP Governors who held their meeting Monday night in Abuja, Chief Anenih said that all hands must be on deck if the nation must survive the present security challenges that threaten it.
“The Federal Government alone cannot give all Nigerians security, everybody, every Nigerian must be involved. The market woman, the trader, the Governors, members of the National Assembly, the Councillors they must all be involved.
“Most of those who destroy houses and kill people, most of them leave with us and police cannot perform miracle without information. Getting information now is very expensive so I appeal to the Governors that this is the time you use your security votes to seek information. Nobody will blame you for that, that is my special appeal,” Anenih said.
The BoT chairman maintained that the PDP governors remain the best in Africa in terms of quality. He said all that was needed was unity, sincerity, commitment and loyalty.
Chief Anenih said that party loyalty must be total as such was the conditions that provide the room for change.
“It is my special appeal that we must develop the spirit of give and take; we must remain loyal to the establishment, to the party at all levels and we must be ready to reconcile ourselves and avoid those things that tend to divide us.
“Once we are able to achieve these issues and solve the challenging problems, then we will get there. If anybody says that PDP is not on ground, he must be telling lies. The problem PDP has is the inability to reconcile. I want to appeal to all of you here present and through you to others that are not here that Nigerians want a change; they want reconciliation, they want to see that it is well with us,” Chief Anenih said.
