POLITICS DIGEST – The Peoples Democratic Party has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to learn from his Chadian counterpart, Idris Deby, in tackling the Boko Haram insurgency in the country.

The PDP also urged the Buhari Presidency to go beyond speeches and statements issued from the comfort of Aso Villa to show commitment in the fight against terrorism.
The party said, “President Buhari should speak out on reports that Chadian President Idris Derby personally led his troops to rout insurgents and free Nigerian territories and soldiers held captive by terrorists in northern part of Borno State.
“The party’s call is predicated on the fact that this development is already triggering questions among Nigerians regarding the commitment and capacity of Mr President, as Commander-in-Chief, to lead the fight against insurgency in our country.”
Ologbondiyan said the PDP was worried that Buhari had perceivably chosen silence at a time, when again, he should stand up and take action to assure Nigerians of their safety as well as efforts being made by his administration against the insurgents.
