Concerned by the escalating security situation across the country, the
People Democratic Party, PDP, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari
to immediately declare a state of emergency on the nation’s security
architecture.
The party has also called on the federal government to set up a
judicial panel of inquiry to unravel the circumstances that prompted
the shootings at the Lekki Toll Gate, Lagos, earlier in the week.
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters on Thursday,
PDP national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus said the situation in the
land has become too dangerous for silence.
According to him, the failure of the President to speak up since the
protests began about two weeks ago, has not endeared him to millions
of Nigerians.
