More knocks as the Peoples’ Democratic Party, (PDP) in Niger State on Tuesday lambasted Governor Abubakar Sani Bello over the state of kidnappings, saying “the state is adrift, rudderless and just an inch to failure”.
The PDP advised the Governor to without further delay ensure the rescue of the abducted Tegina Islammiyya children, teachers and his own Commissioner for Information, Mohammed Sani Idris.
In a statement signed by the PDP Chairman, Barrister Tanko Beji and made available to journalists in Minna, he asked “how does Governor Sani Bello sleep well, eat well, smile and junket around the world using state resources knowing that the people he swore to protect are in the hands of daredevil terrorists?”
He disclosed that “the PDP is roundly disgusted and alarmed that over 70 days after the Tegina Islammiyya children were kidnapped, no word or even mere body movement to show seriousness from Governor Sani Bello.
“Even with the recent kidnap of his own Commissioner and cabinet member in Tafa Local Government Area, we, in the PDP will come to a conclusion that Niger state is adrift, rudderless and just an inch to failure”.
Expressing dismay at the recent abductions, Beji said “Governor Bello and the APC have no business being in any leadership position considering the inept, clueless and classless leadership they have rendered over the past six years”.
Beji described the government’s attitude as “unfortunate and very sad”, adding that, “while the PDP conveys its prayers and heartfelt sadness to the families, we make haste to remind Governor Abubakar Sani Bello that the primary responsibility of any Government is security of lives and properties especially, this case that involves 136 children of ages between five and 15 years old”.
It should be recalled that the Commissioner for Information and Strategy was abducted on Sunday night while at his Tafa home.
