House of Reps caucus gives Tinubu ultimatum to end insecurity or face mass action

Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the House of Representatives have issued President Bola Tinubu a three three-month ultimatum to resolve the worsening insecurity across the country or face mass from Nigerians.

The minority lawmakers said they remained united, indivisible, and committed to acting as a watchdog on behalf of the Nigerian people.

Leader of the caucus, Kingsley Chinda (PDP/Rivers State), stated this after the caucus meeting in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said: “We have just concluded the third meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party Caucus in the 10th Assembly and we have resolved firstly to tell all of us and the world that the PDP caucus in the House of Representatives remain united, indivisible, committed and out to perform her duty as the watchdog on behalf of the Nigerian people.

“In the same vein we x-rayed the security situation in our country and we resolved that we can no longer take this situation where Nigeria is today almost tagged as one life, one minute silence.

“The government is therefore called upon to immediately take steps to ensure that the security situation in the country is normalized and the caucus have also given three-months ultimatum for government to normalize the security situation in our country.

“After three-months the caucus will take further steps to sensitize and mobilize Nigerians to perhaps take their security into their hands.”

On the crisis rocking the PDP, the caucus called on board of trustees, national executive committee and the national working committee of the party to embark on reconciliatory measures with the view to resolve all litigations that are pending which they said had hindered from having a substantive national Chairman.

“We call on our leaders, leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party to continue to demonstrate unconditional loyalty to the party and ensure that the party is moved to abide or place where she enjoyed the position of the largest party in Africa and to take back the Aso Villa which is actually supposed to be our birth right.

And so for us, we are going back as we resume the session to commence a strong, verile and purpose driven opposition to give the people a voice in the parliament.”
