Don’t Waste Scarce Resources On Niger Republic’s Crisis, PRP Tells Tinubu

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has criticized Nigeria’s involvement in the planned military intervention in the Niger Republic’s impasse.

The national legal adviser of the PRP, Prof Mahmood Aliyu, addressed journalists on the nation’s state in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Friday.

He noted that Nigeria has many challenges bedevilling it, which needed urgent attention rather than wasting resources on foreign missions. Read More: https://legalattorneyblog.com/2023/08/10/why-nigeria-should-not-go-to-war-with-niger/

He, however, welcomed the involvement of ECOWAS in resolving the Niger Republic’s crisis, adding that the development should not be a priority of Nigeria as a country.

“We’ve been unable to take care of our security issues adequately. What wisdom do we have to wage war against our neighbour? Honestly, from my mind, I’m entirely against it. It’s morally, economically, and spiritually wrong.

“If this question was asked on the first day, I would say this isn’t supposed to be our priority as a country. But if it’s ECOWAS, it’s okay. The matter has even taken political and ethnic dimensions.

“Last week, bandits raided one village in Niger state and kidnapped some villagers. Four of my kinsmen were among the victims. And that threat is all over that place every now and then. Villages have been sacked.

The villagers were sent away. In some villages, the villagers are asked to pay money to the bandits before bandits can allow them to work on their farms,” Aliyu stated.

Aliyu also criticized reasons for providing palliative as a result of pains occasioned by the fuel subsidy removal by the federal government, saying that successive governments in the country have been telling the masses to fasten their seat belts without accruing benefits.

“Palliative is not the answer to Nigerians’ problem. Nigerians are being insulted by palliative measures. I don’t cherish palliative. Let the masses have access to the good life. Government at all levels should create an enabling environment for job creation to make citizens self-reliant. Having a job to do is the best form of palliative that the government can give to the masses,” he stated.

The PRP national legal adviser urged Nigerians to rededicate themselves to promote the indivisible unity, unfettered progress and democratic rebirth of the Nigerian federation.

According to him, it “requires personal and collective sacrifices and the development of organizational structures essential for delivering these ideals.

“We need a new crop of patriotic leaders who fear God, are selfless, and have the interest of the masses deep right in their hearts to champion the socialist rebirth of the country as being canvassed for by the PRP,” Aliyu stated.
