Killing of Leman: President Buhari has failed to secure Nigerians – ADP presidential candidate

The Presidential candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Engr. Yabagi Yusuf Sani, attributes the killing of aid worker, Hauwa Leman, by a faction of Boko Haram to the lackadaisical attitude of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to the issues of insecurity ravaging parts of the country especially the North east.

Hauwa Leman was brutally murdered by a Boko Haram faction, which calls itself Islamic West Africa Province, ISWAP after the deadline given to them by the Federal Government to free her expired, proving that the government of Buhari, did nothing to save the life of the 24- year-old Hauwa.

It is painful that the atrocities of Boko Haram have been allowed to linger under President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) despite their promises and claims that Boko Haram has been ‘technically’ defeated. This latest killing has exposed the false sense of security that the Buhari government gave to Nigerians, who have now realized that the government only intends to politicise security issues.

The ADP presidential candidate recalls that before the gruesome murder of Hauwa Leman, one Saifura Khorsa, another aid worker was brutally killed recently, which means that the terrorist group has issued warnings as to what will come yet the Buhari government failed to act.

The ADP candidate wishes to state categorically that President Buhari has no moral justification to seek a second term in office having failed to provide security to the Nigerian people as the killing pattern now appears to be a desperate attempt to drive away the aid workers and entrench an atmosphere of fear, which the terrorists want to exploit to achieve their abominable aims.

The ADP candidate is also alarmed that the terrorist group has threatened to enslave Leah Sharibu, the Dapchi school girl that was abducted by the Boko Haram, and considers it a failure on the part of the President Buhari government, which negotiated the release of the other Dapchi school girls and abandoned the helpless Leah Sharibu into the hands of the terrorists.

As we inch towards the 2019, the ADP candidate wishes to inform Nigerians that the ADP sees security of all Nigerians as a cardinal objective and will take all necessary measures to give the people security and to ensure that justice is meted to those who committed this dastardly act.

Engr. Sani commiserates with the families of Hauwa Leman and all those who have lost their lives because of this insurgency and pray they find the fortitude to bear this irreparable losses. He also calls on the Nigerian government to as a matter of urgency rescue and bring home all those still in Boko Haram captivity and bring the perpetrators to book.

The ADP flag bearer also admonishes Nigerians not to lose hope and calls for more support for the brave men and women of the security forces in their efforts to win the war against terrorism and bring the nation back to the path of peace and prosperity.
