The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has described as a height of insensitivity and inhumanity, President Bola Tinubu’s 10-minute visit to Plateau State on Thursday.

PDP, in a statement by factional National Publicity Secretary Ini Emembong, condemned Tinubu’s declaration that he would spend only 10 minutes with victims of the Jos North attack before flying back to Abuja because the airport does not have light.

“His visit and words offered no succour to the victims. Instead, his contempt for the people was revealed. His words were not diplomatic and very far from soothing. This is not how to lead,” the party stated.

PDP said it would have been better for President Tinubu to have stayed back in Abuja than to add salt to the injury of the victims of the massacre.

It added that the president’s inability to leave the airport was an indication of the untamed insecurity that has overwhelmed the nation’s security agencies.

According to the party, the fact that the president himself could not go into Plateau State is an indication of the hopelessness into which the All Progressives Congress (APC) led administration has plunged the country.

PDP said the president’s announcement of 5,000 Closed-Circuit Television cameras is yet another piece of evidence of the simplistic lens through which his administration views core security challenges.

“It is laughable to suggest that cameras are the panacea for the murderous insecurity ravaging Plateau State and the rest of the country,” the party said, and called on President Tinubu and the Federal Government to immediately adopt a whole-of-society approach, with deliberate emphasis on community engagement, to urgently address and curb the insecurity tearing the couy apart.
