Insecurity: Kalu reacts to spate of killings, says Nigeria sliding into a failed state under APC
The National Coordinator of PDP Coalition and leading opposition voice, Chief Dr Emeka Kalu has
warned that if nothing is urgently done to safe the situations in the country, Nigeria is sliding into a failed state.
Kalu stated this while condemning the incessant killings of security operatives in the south-east and the unprecedented rate of banditry and kidnappings across the nation.
Kalu argued that the Buhari-led Federal Government, with other political leaders at other tiers of government, have not been selfless and proactive in tackling various National challenges, adding that “they have all failed Nigerians in all ways”.
Kalu, in an interview with THE WHISPERER, also alleged that several billions of naira reportedly earmarked for security purpose in the name of security votes and allocations to security agencies have gone into private pockets with impunity.
The former gubernatorial aspirant from Abia state, said torrents of attack on security operatives in the southeast and south south; farmers-herders crisis in the southwest, banditry and kidnappings in the entire north indicate that there is high level of corruption in the Nigerian security system, saying the government is not doing enough to monitor and sanitise the sector.
“This renewed spate of criminality in our communities has exposed President Buhari ‘s inability to defend and unite the nation. He has no clear vision of leading the country to the path of unity, peace and progress.
“Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari is gradually sliding into a failed state and the fact that the primary obligation of government, in consonance with our constitution is to guarantee welfare and security of the citizenry, definitely this government has failed Nigerians rather, unfortunately,” the statement said.
