The minority caucus of the National Assembly on Tuesday expressed very strong reservations about “the ineptitude and inability of the APC-led government” to arrest Nigeria’s drift to anarchy.

Addressing newsmen after the joint caucus of the minority party in the Senate and the House of Representatives, the lawmakers lamented that rather than solve the security situation the APC – led government met, it had broadened it to virtually all parts of the country.

Senate Minority Leader and spokesman of the caucus, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, said: “The caucus has also taken note of the fact that the President is absent from duty. We have not seen our President, we have not heard from our president despite the killings that have turned Nigeria into a killing field of unimaginable proportion. And therefore, the caucus has taken note and will continue to take note of the breaches that are happening under the government of APC towards eventually doing the needful.”

As immediate steps to stem the security situation, the caucus suggested that “government at all levels should set up proper security architecture, whether in the mode of state police or constitutional reforms to be able to arrest the drift of the nation.”

The minority caucus further expressed strong reservations about the economic strategy of the government that culminated into quantitative easing, commonly known as printing money, saying: “This strategy has led us to high inflation, devaluation of the naira to a level that never been witnessed and it has also led to a concomitant increase in unemployment, imminent hike in fuel and electricity tariff among others. We feel the government should reverse itself and should not continue in its mindless borrowing without any foreseeable benefits from it.”

The Peoples Democratic Party-led minority caucus further tasked the President to come out and take Nigerians away from the problem of having their crucial data and information in the hands of the Minister of Communication that should resign or be sacked, having been found unworthy of the high office.
