African Democratic Congress (ADC) member Kenneth Okonkwo has levelled corruption and incompetence accusations against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the midst of Nigeria’s escalating security crises.
Politics on Channels TV Today, Okonkwo brought attention to the fact that the government has not adequately supported the armed forces.
“Members of the armed forces are being killed because the APC could not provide more boots on the ground, nor modern equipment to fight,” he added after making the accusation.
Our soldiers are hardly holding their weapons while even Boko Haram rebels are employing drones. Morale is at an all-time low.
While Nigeria is dealing with security issues, Okonkwo slammed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for continuing his travel to the UK.
In the guise of a red carpet in London, you have a president who is stepping on the blood of Nigerians who have been slaughtered.
The three most principled security officials were ignored while he went to rejoice with the minister of defence and his vice president proceeded to Anambra. “The nation is bleeding,” he added, adding that this was happening at the time.
“Allow me to tell you, when six members of the US armed forces were killed, Donald Trump personally received their bodies in a dignified transfer of heroes. This is how the US handles fallen soldiers,” Okonkwo said, drawing a comparison between Tinubu’s actions and it. However, the government here does not treat the deaths of our soldiers with the same level of seriousness or urgency.
“Allegedly, APC is a living party?” The powerful own APC. The people are ADC’s focus.
