The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has berated President Muhammadu Buhari over his continued silence on the nation’s insecurity.
PFN’ President, Bishop Francis Wale Oke said that silence of President Buhari over the security situation in Nigeria was deafening and was giving room for speculation and gossips that suggest thqt the government has hands in the terrorism and banditry ravaging our nation.
He spoke on Wednesday in Ibadan as he received the Lagos, Ogun and Osun States’ Chapters of the PFN led by Apostle Enjimaya Okwuonu and Apostle David Otaru as well as Prophet Isaiah Adelowokan, respectively, who had come to felicitate with him on his emergence as the body’s President,
He charged Buhari to rise up and tackle the situation headlong, stressing that he should rise above primordial sentiments and sectional attachment by doing the needful to make the nation more homely for every Nigerian.
The renowned Cleric reminded the President that he was voted into power in 2015 because of his military background with a view to stemming the insecurity in the country.
He said: “There is so much pressure and tension in the land due to insurgency being orchestrated by the Boko Haram, kidnapping, banditry, killer Fulani herdsmen’s palaver, raping, among other ills. All these are self-inflicted.
“We don’t want the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo to be the one that will speak; It is President Buhari himself that we want to hear from on the dreary security situation in the country. Our President should use the opportunity to disassociate his government from the lawlessness currently ravaging the country through the activities of Boko Haram insurgents and the killer Fulani herdsmen.”
