PDP Slams AbdulRazaq Over Kwara’s Growing Terrorist Attacks
The Peoples Democratic Party in Kwara State has accused Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of failing to confront the growing banditry crisis.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that some communities in Kwara have been sacked by the terrorists.
The latest deadly attack came on Sunday in Oke-Ode, Ifelodun Local Government Area, which left several residents and vigilante members dead.
In a statement on Monday signed by its Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, the Kwara PDP described the massacre as “a despicable and senseless act” that had thrown the state into mourning, blaming the governor for what it called “monumental leadership failure.”
“The gruesome videos of the casualties circulating online make it look like Kwara is now at war. Under AbdulRahman’s watch, terror is reigning, kidnappers are taking over rural villages, and nowhere is safe again,” the PDP said.
The opposition party faulted AbdulRazaq’s alleged silence and absence from the affected community, insisting that a responsible leader should have personally visited Oke-Ode to commiserate with victims’ families and give assurances of decisive action.
It further accused the governor of neglecting local vigilantes and security personnel “battling criminals in the bush,” while diverting funds to “footballers and entertainers outside the state.”
