The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the National
Assembly to immediately begin full scale investigation into the circumstances
leading to the abduction of 110 schoolgirls in Dapchi, Yobe State.
In a
statement issued on Monday in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola
Ologbondiyan, the PDP said the probe has become imperative in the face of
rising speculations and conspiracy theories in the public space, fueled by
conflicting reports, attempts at cover-up and disagreements among government officials
and agencies regarding the ugly incident. The PDP said, “The National Assembly
must take a critical note of the allegation by Yobe State Governor Ibrahim
Geidam, who insists that the abduction was preceded by the withdrawal of troops
safeguarding the troubled area. “The governor is the chief security officer of
the state and his statement cannot be taken lightly or even dismissed by just a
wave of the hand by anybody or any government agency under any guise
whatsoever.” PDP also urged the National Assembly to investigate the various
conflicting reports that have characterized the abduction, particularly the
initial moves by the Federal Government to deny the occurrence of this
incident. “Nigerians are indeed worried about the apparent deliberate design to
hide the facts of this abduction and demand to know the truth. It is a common
saying in Africa that thunder does not strike on the same spot twice. “We must
not allow our national ambience to be filled with speculations from conspiracy
theorists. Our lawmakers must therefore, in unraveling the matter, question all
security agencies, particularly those operating in the area. “Furthermore, we
urge the National Assembly to urgently come to the rescue of some of the
parents of our abducted daughters, who were arrested and taken into custody for
daring to demand to know the whereabouts of their children and wards. “The
Federal Government must be made to live up to the basic responsibility of
protecting lives and property and also to be truthful to Nigerians at all
times,” it added.
