The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) has
expressed strong opposition plans by the
presidency to declare a State of emergency in
three states: Borno, Yobe and Nasarawa, which
have been embroiled waves of violence in recent
times, declaring that such an action would be the
wrong response.
In a statement signed by Rotimi Fashakin, the
party’s National Publicity Secretary, CPC said
today that instead, the President, as the Leader of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), should
consult within his Party for the panacea to
Nigeria’s security nightmare.
Condemning in strong terms the “orgies of
violence” in the three States and commiserating
with the families and servicemen and women that
have been affected by it, CPC questioned what an
emergency administrator will hope to achieve
given the present scenario of militarization in the
states.
“Should this not be interpreted as another knee-
jerk response of this administration to situations
that require out-of-the-box thinking?” the
statement asked. “Is this approach not to be
interpreted as a pre-meditated consequence of
ineptitude of this regime?”
Recalling that the late former National Security
Adviser, General Andrew Owoye Azazi, had
alerted the nation about the politics of the PDP
being the locus of the insecurity in Nigeria, CPC
asked: “What did the Federal Government do to
stymie the odiousness of the politics of the ruling
party other than merely sacking the messenger?”
The party also pointed out a “dangerous trend”:
that the states mainly embroiled in ongoing
insecurity are “mainly non-PDP states which
further fuels the notion that these insurgencies are
purposely orchestrated to create the ambience for
the declaration of emergency rule in the states.”
In an unprecedented speech at the South-South
Economic Summit in Asaba in April 2012, Azazi
blamed the escalating insecurity in the country,
particularly the growing activities of Boko Haram,
on “undemocratic practices” by the political
parties, especially the PDP.
“The issue of violence did not increase in Nigeria
until when there was a declaration by President
Goodluck Jonathan that he was going to contest,”
he said. “PDP got it wrong from the beginning.
The party started by saying Mr. A can rule, and
Mr. B cannot rule, according to PDP conventions,
rules and regulations and not according to the
constitution. That created the climate for what is
happening or manifesting itself in country.”
Azazi was killed in a helicopter crash in December
2012.
