Insecurity: ACN slams NSA, PDP

By Nnamdi Ojiego

…Says they have brought shame to Nigeria
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has described as a national embarrassment the public face-off between the National Security Adviser, Gen. Andrew Azazi, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the real cause of the Boko Haram crisis.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the shame brought on Nigeria by this public spat is not so much in the contents of their statements, disingenuous as they may seem, but in the fact that a ruling party and a top political
appointee of the central government it controls could be so naive and uncouth over a serious national security issue.

”We have said it several times that the PDP and the government it controls at the centre are clueless, confused and totally incapable of piloting the affairs of this nation. Is there any better evidence of this cluelessness than what Nigerians are witnessing now?”, ACN queried.

The party said with the PDP and the government it controls pulling in different directions, there was little or no surprise as to why the welfare and security of Nigerians have been pushed to the back burner as key players of the ruling party and the Jonathan administration opt to dance naked in the public square.
