Abaribe spoke the minds of Nigerians- PDP

The People's Democratic Party has stood by their minority leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe who called for the President's resignation yesterday.

In a statement written by the Party's publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP said the decision of the Presidency to insult Nigerians rather than address security challenges shows that the Presidency had failed.

"The @OfficialPDPNig notes that the fact that the Presidency resorted to hauling insults, hate language and threats against patriotic Nigerians, including senators, instead of addressing issues of security before the parliament, shows that indeed, the @MBuhari Presidency has no answer to the litany of insecurity issues under its administration," the statement read in part.

The PDP in their statement, threw their weight behind Abaribe who spoke the minds of millions of Nigerians who had been bullied and harassed by the Government.

"Senator Abaribe spoke on behalf of millions of Nigerians who have been killed, orphaned, widowed, maimed, rendered childless and homeless, as well as others who daily live in anguish, pain, and fear in the face of worsening insecurity under the failed @MBuhari administration," the statement said.

... call was completely unfounded, unlike in the present situation where every indicator points to an alarming trajectory towards a failed state.

The opposition party called upon the National Assembly to stand with Nigerians and resist anyone who doesn't have the interest of the country at heart.

"The @OfficialPDPNig, therefore, urges the National Assembly to stand with Nigerians and resist every attempt that will make it succumb to any form of harassments, intimidations, and innuendos from paid agents and cabal in the Presidency who have shown that the interest of ordinary Nigerians is not their priority," the statement concluded.
