The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the government of President Bola Tinubu of only redistributing terror across states of the country.
The ADC alleged that the present administration rather than focus on eliminating terrorism and banditry ravaging the nation, has continued to adopt ineffective measures to tackle the insecurity in Nigeria.
In a statement issued on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC described the killing of over 100 residents of Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara state as evidence of a total collapse of security under the Tinubu-led administration.
The coalition party also questioned what has become of the President’s declaration of a state of emergency on security and the promised recruitment of thousands of police officers across the nation.
According to the ADC, it has become obvious that the heightened security activities seen in the past year following the aftermath of the comments by President Donald Trump were a mere posturing to earn international approval rather than genuine efforts to end insecurity in the country.
Abdullahi also said that the scale and frequency of killings across the country since then have shown that whatever measures the government has taken since then are not working, indicating that the government’s approach is merely redistributing terror rather than eliminating it.
Further commiserating with the families of the victims of the Kwara attack, Abdullahi said what makes this tragedy even more troubling are growing concerns that the perpetrators may be part of terrorist elements recently dispersed by the United States Christmas-Day military action in Sokoto State.
