Terrorism: APC Complicit in Kuje Prison Attack - PDP Asserts…Queries Redeployment of Soldiers 24hrs Before Incidence

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemns in the strongest possible term, the spate of insecurity and the audacity with which terrorists ravage our country unchallenged under the rudderless All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.

The simultaneous terrorist attacks on the advance convoy of President Muhammadu Buhari in Katsina State as well as the Correctional Facility in Abuja, the nation’s capital, underscore the collapse of our security command and control structure under the failed, ineffective and uncoordinated Buhari-led APC administration.

The terrorist attack on President Buhari’s convoy in his home State of Katsina as well as the ferocious invasion and the freeing of hundreds of terrorists and criminals from the Kuje Correctional Facility further confirm that Mr. President has lost control of the security of the nation and that Nigerians are no longer safe under the APC.

The escalated spate of terrorism across the country has heightened apprehensions of complicity by the APC to open up our nation to more terrorist attacks with the view to stall the 2023 general elections.

The failure of the APC administration to act on the intelligence provided by the Directorate of State Services (DSS) which on Tuesday July 5, 2022 reportedly warned of an impending attack on the Kuje Correctional Facility gives credence to fears by Nigerians of complicity at very high level of the APC administration.

This is in addition to further reports that soldiers deployed to the precinct of the Kuje Correctional Facility and who had become familiar with the terrain were redeployed 24 hours before the terrorists attacked.

The PDP demands that the APC government should come clean on who ordered the reported redeployment of soldiers and who failed to act on the intelligence provided by the DSS.

Nigerians can recall the public confession by the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai at the wake of the bloody Abuja-Kaduna terrorist attack that the APC-led administration knows the whereabouts and the plans of the terrorists ravaging our nation but deliberately refused to act. Nigerians will also recall how APC leaders publicly romanced and paid money to terrorists.

It is rather distressing that President Buhari appears helpless without any decisive and concrete steps taken to stem the tide of terrorist attacks in our country.

Even more curious is that President Buhari continues to retain Mr. Isa Pantami as Minister of Communication and Digital Economy to head and coordinate this very critical sector in the fight against terrorism in our country in spite of Isa Pantami’s confession of affiliation to terrorists.

With the sequence of events in the last 48 hours, it is clear to Nigerians that the APC government headed by President Buhari has failed in the basic purpose of government which is to secure life and properties of the citizens.

Given the urgency of the security situation in the country, it has become imperative that President Buhari convenes an emergency Council of State meeting for a review of the prevailing dangerous security atmosphere in our country.

The PDP also calls on the National Assembly to pass a vote of no confidence in Isa Patimi and insist on his immediate removal as a minister. The National Assembly should also immediately summon the Security Chiefs for a thorough investigation on the circumstances resulting in the failure of our security system.

The PDP urges Nigerians to remain at alert and keep hope alive as the nightmare of the APC administration will be over by May 2023.

Vote Dem Out


A believe silence is the best answer given to some fools who tag all APC critics as "tinubu haters"

This is in no way Power to the People, but "give the power to us PDP and we would do better".

Unfortunately for them there's lots of threads on NL showing them for what they both are which is incompetent. Besides, I think the majority of we Nigerians would rather try something different if you don't mind, or even if you do, because Power is we the People, we seem to be realising.

No tears

If terrorism was good enough reason for apc to justify people voting them in 2015

It should be good enough to vote them out when una don triple worsen the situation

In exchange with Abuja-Kaduna train victims we know what really happened at Kuje prison.And this terrorist government is hell bent killing innocent and armless people in Igboland. Give us a referendum for us to decide whether to continue with this so-called one Zoogeria.

Buhari is doing well !

Welldone President Muhammadu Buhari, posterity will judge and who destroyed this country along with you.

Opposition should convince Nigerians why they should vote for them instead of being petty

PDP must step up its campaign against this failed APC led government

I agree. But it's hopefully not a good enough reason to go back to our money disappearing in ghanamustgoes and into shalangas instead of us Obidiently going forward.

Buhari Government intentionally free those terrorists,because I dont know how bokoharam can move enough terrorists and sophisticated weapons into federal capital Abuja without getting caught they got enough information earlier that terrorist were coming to attack prison but they did nothing to stop them how can bokoharam operated inside Abuja for 3 hours and no reinforcement just imagine terrorist attacks govt facility inside Washington this is international embarrassmet honestly

I have been saying it that it was a grand planned to release Abuja-Kaduna kidnapped victims in 3days later they will surely be release.
