PDP to Tinubu: Nigerians not safe at homes, workplaces

PDP Chairman, Turaki

The Peoples Democratic Party has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of failing to protect Nigerians at home, on the streets, and in their workplaces.

The party’s National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki, made the remarks on Tuesday while briefing journalists in Abuja.

The briefing took place at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, where the Turaki-led National Working Committee has been meeting since the Nigerian Police Force sealed the PDP national secretariat in November amid a supremacy battle between two opposition camps within the party.

Addressing reporters, Turaki criticised the government’s security record and called for a review of strategies to make the nation safer.

“We believe the situation in this country is such that Nigerians are not safe on the streets. Nigerians are not safe in their places of work — be it in offices, on farms, or in markets. Nigerians are also not safe in their homes.

“The situation where every citizen lives in perpetual fear, walks in perpetual fear, and conducts business in perpetual fear is something that must change,” he said.

The former Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs also criticised the Federal Government for failing to meet the basic expectations of an elected administration. Punch
