Buhari-led Administration Has Failed – Northern Coalition
Katsina
A northern coalition by name the Coalition for Northern Group (CNG) north-west States has said the Buhari-led administration has failed to discharge its primary responsibility of protecting the lives and properties of Nigerians.
The group made this assertion during a press conference held yesterday (December 12, 2020) to condemn the attack of Government Secondary School, Kankara and abduction of a yet to be ascertained number of students by gunmen on Friday December 11, 2020.
Speaking during a press conference, Comrade Jamilu Aliyu Charanchi, the group leader, also condemned in strongest term, the inability of the President to visit the scene, despite being him in the State.
He said, “while condeming in totality this barbaric act and call for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the culprits, we equally stress the inability of the government to protect those young, innocent, vibrant students from this horrible attack as uncalled for.”
The group also threatened to stage mass protest in the state until the alleged 400 missing students of the school are released.
“Failure of the government to rescue the missing students within a shortest period of time, CNG will not hesitate to mobilize hundreds of thousands on the streets of Katsina State for a continuous protest, until the students are fully rescued, even if it’s going to cost our lives.”
The group also called for development of additional security personnel, armour personnel carriers, fighter jets to Katsina state with immediate effect by the federal authorities to curtail the menace.
“While rumours goes around that over 400 hundreds students are missing, we call on the State Government to immediately clarify the matter, so as to ascertain the exact number of missing students.
“We are not wrong by saying that, President Buhari led administration has failed in discharging its primary responsibility of protecting lives and properties of people.
“While we commend the efforts of good samaritans in the Local Government, we equally call for collaborative efforts between the security agencies and local intelligence with all sincerity of purpose so as to defeat the menace”, he added.
