The youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s government should bury its head in shame over the latest threat from one of the terrorist groups operating in the country.
KEMI FILANI NEWS had reported that terrorists released a video at the weekend threatening to kidnap President Buhari, destroy the country and turn the area into an abattoir unless the federal government complied with their demands.
Reacting, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, said Buhari’s administration has failed to deliver on security which was number one on its change mantra.
Nnabuike said the government should stop playing politics as security is now worse than any previous government in the country
“How else can we explain the fact that mass abductions go on under this government on a daily basis, yet none of such victims have ever been rescued, except when ransom is paid.
“Not long ago, these daring terrorists attacked the President’s convoy. As if that was not enough, Kuje Prison was breached.
“When we thought we had heard the last, they have now threatened to abduct a sitting President. As usual, this threat will be treated with levity by the government in power.
“This situation intensifies the fear that there could be a grand plan to Islamize this country by simply handing it over to terrorists.
“The time has come for Mr. President to prove otherwise to Nigerians. Security agencies should not be busy pursuing Biafra agitators when the real threats to individual and national security are walking the streets free, receiving chieftaincy titles.
“Security was number one on the APC’s change mantra, but they have failed so low, worse than any previous government in this country.
“It is even more shameful to read a statement from Buhari’s media aide, Garba Shehu, that the President had done all, and even more than what was expected of him as the Commander-in-Chief. If this is the best we can get from Mr. President, a General, then, the Government should bury its head in shame. This is not a time to play politics.”
