The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has averred that the “threat” contained in the written address by lawyers to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) is a pre-emptive move to intimidate the judiciary.

If there is any lesson to learn from the fight against insecurity during the regime of President Muhammadu Buhari it is the fact that the intractable and pervasive nature of the breakdown of law and order during the eight-year period was a consequence of the lack of political will to fight that war to a logical conclusion. It proved that the problem was not entirely that of the service chiefs or IGPs, but that of failure of the political class to do what is necessary to secure the land.

An encounter with a political office holder in Borno, three years ago, only further confirmed this. The politician revealed that whereas President Buhari was ever-willing to provide logistics and resources to support the fight, he was, however, not painstaking or diligent enough to follow up to ensure that the funds were used for what they were meant for.
