‘Stop shifting blame, Mr. President.’- Sowore’s Take it Back Movement Tells President Buhari to Address Security Situation

Published

on

 

The leader of the Take It Back Movement, Omoyele Sowore, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to own up and stop shifting the blame for the pervasive insecurity Nigerians are currently experiencing.

It is the position of Omoyele Sowore and the TiB Movement that it is unconscionable for the president to shirk his responsibility to guarantee the safety of Nigerians.

The primary and the most important duty of any government is to provide security for citizens. We believe that development cannot take place in an environment that is as insecure as we currently face in the country. Not since the end of the Civil War have our people felt as apprehensive as they feel today. There is pervading insecurity in the country, and the government appears to be incapable to stop it.

It is quite ironic that President Buhari was a former Army General, and one of his selling points, during the last election, was his strong military background which he assured us made him fit to provide Nigerians with adequate security.

Sadly, cultism, robbery, and killings by alleged herdsmen have taken frightening dimensions, with all our security agencies seemingly unable to stem the tide.

Rather than giving the security and law enforcement agencies the marching order to restore the peace and enforce Nigeria’s laws, we have the ridiculous position of our Executive President blaming external forces and his political opponents for the inadequacies of his government to perform their statutory duties.

President Buhari even shamelessly told Nigerians that his police chief defied his order to relocate to Benue following the killings in that state, yet, the man is still at his post.

Regrettably, our parliamentarians are also failing to carry out their oversight role. Were our legislators to be up to their responsibilities, the president should have been called to, at the very least, explain why he allowed things to degenerate to these abysmal levels.

What is more damning and unconscionable was the sight of Mr. President and his party’s stalwarts dancing away in Abuja at their party’s convention in Abuja while hundreds of their country men were being killed in nearby Plateau State. It is sad that our country has come to the level where the governing party does not deem it fit to suspend activities when news reached them that over a hundred Nigerians had been killed.

We recall the president lambasting the previous PDP government for doing the same thing when he was in opposition. What has changed, President Buhari?

This callous and insensitive behaviour is unpardonable, and posterity will register it as one of the lowest points of a maladministration that has inflicted so much pain on our citizens.

 

Such callous actions confirm our views that the APC and the PDP are simply two sides of the same BAD COIN.

Renewed Hope Ambassadors Shift to Grassroots Mobilisation Ahead of 2027

*Renewed Hope Ambassadors Step Into the Next Phase

 

Fresh from the successful APC 2026 National Convention, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors National, Zonal, and State leadership gathered in Abuja over the weekend, for its fourth strategic meeting, setting the tone for nationwide grassroots activation ahead of 2027.

Chaired by Governor Hope Uzodinma (Imo State) the Director General and National Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, alongside Deputy Director-General, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, and Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State as Secretary, the session reinforced one clear direction: One Party. One Message. One Mobilization whilst also laying out a strategic roadmap for the activation of the network across all communities in Nigeria.

Backed by the strength of 31 APC-led states, the Renewed Hope Agenda is taking Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s message of progress and reform to every corner of Nigeria.

From bold economic restructuring to initiatives like NELFUND, the increase in the national minimum wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000, and strategic investments in critical sectors, including PNiCGI, the mission remains clear: helping Nigerians understand both the purpose and the progress of the Renewed Hope vision.

This is coordination at scale. This is grassroots engagement with purpose. This is the next phase of Renewed Hope with One Party, One Message, and One Mobilisation framework

The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has finalized plans to receive Vice President Kashim Shettima for the formal defection and reception of Governor Dauda Lawal into the ruling party, scheduled to take place on Tuesday.

 

State APC Chairman, Tukur Danfulani Maikatako, disclosed this during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held in Gusau, the state capital. He noted that the Vice President would be joined by the party’s national leadership to mark what he described as a landmark political realignment in the state.

 

Maikatako expressed the party’s excitement over Governor Lawal’s return, recalling that Zamfara had historically been an APC stronghold and that the Governor was previously a bona fide member of the party before his earlier exit.

 

“We all know that Zamfara has long been one of the APC’s stronghold states, where the defected Governor was once a bona fide member. Now that he has decided to return home, having been satisfied that the APC remains his second choice after the one he left for obvious reasons,” Maikatako stated.

 

The Chairman called on all party faithful across the 147 wards in the state’s 14 local government areas to turn out en masse to honour the Vice President’s visit. He emphasized that the event was strategically positioned to bolster the party’s popularity and strengthen its structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.

 

In a strong appeal for unity, Maikatako urged members to set aside all factional tendencies, stressing that the APC remained one political family with shared goals, particularly the ambition to make Zamfara and Nigeria great again.

 

Echoing similar sentiments, a former state APC Chairman, Lawal M. Liman, appealed to members to cascade the message to their wards and local government areas. He reinforced the need for cohesion, noting that the party’s collective strength would be critical to achieving success in future elections.
