The President of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Wale Oke, has said President Muhammadu Buhari knows all those responsible for insecurity in the country, but has failed to deal with the situation, thereby implicating his own self.
Oke who made the statement on Monday through the PFN Media Department and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Bishop Emmah Gospel Isong, said Nigerians do not need to look further, because their real problem is right before them.
Speaking on Buhari's defense and refusal to dismiss Minister of Communication, Isah Pantami, who has been accused of extremism, the PFN President said Buhari’s action was an indication that the government was not serious about its fight against Boko Haram insurgency and other related security challenges facing the country.
According to Oke, the controversy currently generated by the Pantami saga was needless as he (Pantami) ought to have resigned or be sacked on account of his past complimentary stance on Boko Haram and the insurgents.
His words: “That Pantami is still in Buhari’s government, tells much about who we are and the mockery that trails us. What is the man still doing in government; why has he not resigned or why has he not been sacked by the government? More questions than answers or are we running a government of abracadabra, the more you look, the less you see?”
He lamented that the Buhari’s government supposed fight against insurgency, banditry and the ilk, was after all, a façade.
“To us at the PFN, the Buhari’s government is not sincere in its alleged war against Boko Haram, killer herdsmen and other criminalities. Do we have to look beyond our shoulders for the sponsors of the mindless killings and bloodshed currently ravaging our country? The answer is no! The government knows them.”
