Peoples Democratic Party said US rescue operation shows Buhari incompetence.
News Rain Nigeria reports that the rescue operation by the United States that led to the rescue of one of her citizens, which was reported to have been held hostage by some bandits in Nigeria has been described by the People Democratic Party (PDP) as an act of incompetence by the President Muhammadu Buhari.
The People Democratic Party, through a statement by its National Public Relations Officer, Mr. Kola Ologbodiyan stressed that the swift rescue operation which was carried out on Nigeria soil further exposed President Buhari as an incompetent leader.
Ologbodiyan said, President Buhari, can neither secure the territorial integrity of the country nor even arrest the wave of the level of insecurity that is currently battling the country.

According to the statement in which a copy was made available to the News Rain Nigeria, on Sunday, 1st November 2020, stated that the situation where the United State had to come to the country to pull a rescue, can be best described as an international embarrassment.
The statement stated that the action shows how low the Buhari Presidency had fallen in its failure to guarantee the safety of lives and property in the country, noted that the situation has also shown that contrary to claims by the Buhari administration, parts of our country are still under the control of bandits and insurgents.
PDP through the statement said the fact that under President Muhammadu Buhari, bandits and abductors from neighboring countries now freely cross into our nation to use our soil as detention camps further show the failure of his administration to secure our national borders and territorial integrity.
PDP maintained that the exploits of these countries on the nation’s soil only go to show that the bandits, vandals, kidnappers, insurgents are not invincible but have been allowed to take hold of the country due to the failures of the Buhari administration.
“Such failures had dragged our nation down to rank as the third country with the highest level of terrorism, after Iran and Afghanistan, according to 2019 Global Terrorism Index rating by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP).
“Our party believes that the latest experience will compel President Buhari to accede to a widespread demand by Nigerians to rejig his security architecture as well as replace his service chiefs with more competent hands to effectively tackle insecurity challenge facing our country.”
The PDP spokesperson stressed further that It is indeed grossly disconcerting that under our Commander-in-Chief, a general, who had consistently promised to lead from the front, it took a foreign country to come on our soil to rescue their citizen, while hordes of our citizens are reportedly being held, tortured and killed in various kidnappers’ and insurgents’ dens in various parts of our nation.
“Our party recalls that earlier in April, Nigeria was equally embarrassed by reports of how the Chadian President Idris Deby, personally led his troops to rout out insurgents and freed Nigerian territories and soldiers held captive by terrorists in the northern part of Borno state, while our leaders recede into the safety and comfort of Aso Presidential Villa,” the party said.
