Corruption and Open Leadership on Monday attacked President Muhammadu Buhari following the Presidency’s rating of killings under the current regime as lower than those of the past PDP governments.
The President’s spokesman, who said this during an interview on Kakaaki, a breakfast television programme on the Africa Independent Television, argued that the number of people killed under Buhari’s watch was lower when compared with Nigerians that lost their lives under the past governments. Responding to a report by the acting Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu’s, claim that 1,071 persons lost their lives in crime-related cases across the country in the first quarter of 2019, Shehu said despite the recent rising killings, banditry and kidnapping, the figure was still better than that of the previous administrations.
Shehu said the President was entitled to rest even as he claimed that Buhari was in firm control of the nation while in the UK. Ologbodiyan said, “It is an insult that kidnappers could be that daring to the extent of going a few metres to his house and take away his district head. Ologbondiyan also said it was sad that the Presidency could be comparing the number of deaths in particular administration with what was happening now.
“However, one thing is sure: we were not witnessing these daily killings, kidnappings, weeping, gnashing of teeth and sorrow during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the late Umaru Yar’Adua and President Goodluck Jonathan. They were never gang of failures.Buhari at risk of bandits’ attacks, say CD, CACOL
