The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed concern over the robbery attempt at the Aso Rock residence of Chief of Staff, Professor Ibrahim Gambari on Monday.

PDP, in a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbodiyan, recalled that there were security breaches in June 2020 at Aso Rock that involved a shooting.

The party then urged President Muhammadu Buhari to “wake up from his slumber and take decisive steps to secure the country.”

“The @OfficialPDPNig is alarmed by the invasion of Aso Presidential Villa by bandits and armed robbers, saying the development further points to the collapse of security command structure under President @MBuhari’s incompetent watch.

“All over the world, the Presidential Villa, as the seat of power and national sovereignty, is the fortress of the nation that ought to have impregnable security.

“As such, any breach of security, particularly by outlaws and in sequence, sends a clear danger signal to the overall security of the nation.

“It is imperative to state that such security infraction, that gave way for outlaws to invade the Presidential villa in sequence, in spite of its perceptibly secured ambience, can only happen under an absentee President, who has not demonstrated the required capacity expected of his office.”

The PDP also recalled that there were security breaches in June last year in Aso Rock, involving a shooting, arising from a bitter squabble between members of the president family and some security aides.

“Our party is worried that if President @MBuhari cannot guarantee the security of the Presidential Villa, then his capacity to secure the entire country is no longer assured.

“The @OfficialPDPNig, therefore, urges President @MBuhari to wake up from slumber, review his security architecture and take decisive steps, beyond his lethargic body language, to secure our nation,” the statement read.
