Buhari to sack all the service chiefs and save Nigerians from imminent
genocide.
The party said the security chiefs look confused and have no new
strategy to save the worsening state of insecurity in the country.
It also affirmed that for Buhari to watch the daily killings of
Nigerians by armed Fulani herdsmen was inexcusable because he is the
only chief security officer of the country.
SDP national publicity secretary, Princess Goldba Tolofari made this
declaration in a press briefing in Abuja.
The opposition party was reacting to the recent killings plateau state
where scores of persons lost their lives and advised Buhari to think
twice.
In her words, President Muhammadu Buhari should think twice about what
is happening to the country. And be able to save Nigeria from imminent
genocide. He can change the Service chiefs to protect and save the
lives of Nigerians. Life is important. Loyalty is not more important.
"Buhari is the Chief Security Officer of Nigeria. And on this premise,
the life and property of Nigerians should be his top priority. So we
are worried. The Social Democratic Party, SDP is worried. We are
weeping. And as a woman, I am weeping in my heart.
Tolofari averred that the public image of Nigeria in the international
community has come down very low over insecurity. She stated, "When
you are travelling abroad on plane, the first thing any foreigner
tells you is "I am afraid to come to Nigeria because of insecurity."
"And we can't go on as a people like this. This has to stop. The
Federal government has to urgently do something about this waste of
human blood. Every life of an individual citizen of Nigeria matters
and, very important. They are not animals but human beings. The dead
are people's children, brothers, sisters, wives and husbands. As a
woman, I am crying out loud.
"I want to commiserate with the people and government of Plateau State
over the recent but unfortunate gruesome killing of their loved ones
by the Fulani herdsmen. It is terrible that we are now living in our
country with the fear of the unknown. The rate of insecurity in the
country is worsening day by day. It has become an ugly incident of
global discussion.
"Already we are crying over the poor management of our economy, yet,
people are being killed everyday. See the killings in Benue, Taraba,
Plateau, Zamfara and many other states across the country. What a hell
is going on in this great country! This killings must stop. Something
must be done."
SDP, therefore, urged Nigerians to vote out APC come 2019 saying, "The
ruling All Progressives Congress, has deceived Nigerians for over
three years now.
"Vote out APC so that lives and property can be saved. We need to make
Nigeria great again. Nobody should be allowed to put our head down as
a country."
