The Zikist-Buharist Movement (ZBM) has reprimanded the National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Uche Secondus, for asking President Muhammadu Buhari to resign over spate of insecurity in the country.
The ZBM, which is a South-East political pressure group, gave the criticism in a statement signed by its Chairman, Chief Stanley Ohajuruka and Secretary, Mr Godwin Onwusi, in Enugu on Sunday.
The statement was titled; “Their Efforts Not Good Enough, PMB’s Frankness Commendable”.
According to the statement, President Buhari is concerned over the insecurity in the country, more reason why he admitted that much more work needed to be done to fix our security challenges.
The statement dismissed as misguided and misplaced, the demand by the PDP National chairman for the President to resign on the basis of his own admission that his administration had failed.
It said that more so, the PDP National Chairman having made a similar call on ex-President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, to resign in similar circumstances in 2014.
The statement called on the PDP members to sincerely cast their mind back, on how over a decade ago, the insecurity torrential rain started falling via planlessness and squander-mania of the 16 years misrule of the PDP.
“How our physical and social infrastructure were underfunded in the midst of unprecedented oil revenue.
“This is the foundation of the decayed infrastructure, hence the infamous Nigeria’s crown of World Poverty Capital.
“Yesterday is the architect of today, so we cannot in all sincerity forget where the rain of gross unemployment and abject poverty started falling, otherwise we cannot locate durable solutions,’’ it said.
According to the statement, ZBM are in league with the frustration over insecurity in the land.
“But Hon. Secondus and members of his political clan should be sincere enough to cast their minds back to over a decade ago when PDP’s misrule, planlessness and squander-mania, simulated the material conditions which unleashed insecurity on Nigerians on a large scale.
“We should be weary of playing politics with security,’’ it said.
It said that the ZBM therefore commended President Buhari’s uncommon candour, frankness and openness for admitting that the service chiefs have serially failed the country.
The statement said; “ZBM shares the agony of Nigerians over the compounded security challenges and the trust deficit arising there from.
“However, the President’s public statements recognized the import of his mandate and the responsibility of the Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) to secure our dear country from unprecedented insurgency, unbridled armed robbery, untoward kidnapping and crass banditry.

“For those who call for the President’s resignation and impeachment, especially the PDP, ZBM appreciates their frustration, worries and genuine concern over unbridled insecurity in the land.
“Their frustration is understandable. However, they should note that the President is as concerned and that is why he admitted he has much more work to fix our security challenges. We know he is deploying new technologies’’.
