The youth wing of apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Monday, expressed anger over the worsening security situation of the country.
The group was resting to a a viral video, where one of the terrorists who kidnapped the Abuja-Kaduna train passengers that unless the government complied with their demands, they would turn the area into an abattoir.
Reacting, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said the audacity of the terrorists was worrisome.
Okwu said the government should bury its head in shame for failing to deliver on security which was number one on its change mantra.
“How else can we explain the fact that mass abductions go on under this government on a daily basis, yet none of such victims have ever been rescued, except when ransom is paid.
“Not long ago, these daring terrorists attacked the President’s convoy. As if that was not enough, Kuje Prison was breached.
“When we thought we had heard the last, they have now threatened to abduct a sitting President. As usual, this threat will be treated with levity by the government in power.
“This situation intensifies the fear that there could be a grand plan to Islamize this country by simply handing it over to terrorists.
“The time has come for Mr. President to prove otherwise to Nigerians. Security agencies should not be busy pursuing Biafra agitators when the real threats to individual and national security are walking the streets free, receiving chieftaincy titles.
“Security was number one on the APC’s change mantra, but they have failed so low, worse than any previous government in this country.
“It is even more shameful to read a statement from Buhari’s media aide, Garba Shehu, that the President had done all, and even more than what was expected of him as the Commander-in-Chief. If this is the best we can get from Mr. President, a General, then, the Government should bury its head in shame. This is not a time to play politics,” Okwu declared.
