Nigeria: APC - Jonathan, FG Abdicating Responsibility to Nigerians

26 May 2014

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the President Goodluck Jonathan-led federal government of abdicating its responsibility to Nigerians by failing to recognise its key role in ensuring their welfare and security.

Similarly, the party alleged of a grand plot by the administration to silence all criticisms and sweep all ongoing corruption investigations and government incompetence under the carpet under the guise of uniting to fight terrorism. In a statement issued yesterday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party faulted the statement credited to the president that those who are calling for the safe return of the girls should address their protests to the abductors. "A government that is unwilling to take any responsibility for anything, and one that is unwilling to recognize that its raison d'etre is to ensure the welfare and security of its citizens has simply abdicated its responsibility, and should not be counted upon to do all that is necessary to rescue the over 200 schoolgirls who were abducted under its watch," it said.
