Nigeria Under Siege And At Risk Of Being Ungovernable – Tukur

Bamanga_Tukur_984260871National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, yesterday, declared that Nigeria was under siege following incessant attacks in parts of the country by terrorist groups.

Tukur spoke on the state of the nation at his country home in Jada Local Government of Adamawa State shortly after visiting Ganye Local Government Area and in Abuja.

Tukur, who was in Adamawa  to condole with the people of Ganye over the recent terrorist attack which left 25 persons dead and scores of others wounded, warned that the nation might become ungovernable unless urgent steps were taken to arrest the situation.

Tukur, who assessed the level of damage done to the town, described the incident as not only unfortunate but also condemnable.

“This is evil opposing good; here are people who attack Mosques, Churches, markets, banks, motor parks, police stations without considering who is there. Surely, our nation is under siege. It is not the question of PDP, ACN, CPC or any political party or religion. The truth is that Nigeria is under siege, therefore all of us must come together and face this challenge.

“The attackers have not spared any part of the country especially the northern states while other parts of the country are facing another form of evil associated with kidnapping”, he said.

Tukur while lamenting that no community in Nigeria was without one form of insecurity challenge or the other, acknowledged that PDP should take responsibility for the development as the ruling party in the country. However, he was quick to add that the situation needed collaborative effort by everyone to tackle.

In the same vein, Tukur also spoke about security challenges at his Wuse 2 private residence in Abuja.

His word: “Today there is fear everywhere, churches are being burnt, Mosques are being attacked, United Nations building bombed, motor parks are being bombed, people cannot go to motor parks again to travel for fear of being attacked; security installations such as police stations, prisons are being burnt down and inmates released at will, nobody knows the next target of attack.

“It is not about the PDP or President Goodluck Jonathan; this is a matter that should be of concern to everybody irrespective of political, ethnic or religious affiliations, the opposition, the labour movement, religious leaders, traditional rulers. We all have to come together to fight the evil that is now manifesting everywhere in our land; those perpetuating this evil are within us in the society, it is not a matter of Mr President or the PDP-led Federal Government alone.”
