Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the House of Representatives have issued a three-month ultimatum to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led Federal Government to find solutions to the security challenges confronting the country.
The lawmakers led by Rep. Chinda Kingsley, the leader of the minority caucus in the House also vowed that their party will take back the presidency it lost in 2015.
Chinda, an ally of FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike said this was because the seat of power had “become our party’s birthright”.
He spoke while briefing newsmen after the third meeting of PDP lawmakers in Abuja, on Tuesday.
“We are going back, as we resume the session to commence a strong, virile and purpose-driven opposition to give the people a voice in the parliament,” the Caucus said.
According to him, government must immediately take steps to ensure that the security situation in the country is normalised.
“We x-rayed the security situation in our country and we resolved that we can no longer take this situation where Nigeria is today almost tagged as ‘one life, one minute silence’.
“After three-months, the caucus will take further steps to sensitise and mobilise Nigerians to take their security into their hands,” the legislators said.
He said the caucus also agreed to call on all party caucuses, the board of trustees, national executive committee and the national working committee of the party to embark on reconciliatory measures.
This, according to him, is with the view to resolve all litigations that are pending and have hindered the party’s quest for a substantive national Chairman.
He called on leaders of the PDP to continue to demonstrate unconditional loyalty to the party and ensure that the party is placed where she enjoyed the position of the largest party in Africa.
He said that PDP members in the House of Reps were united, indivisible, committed and out to perform their duty as the watchdog on behalf of the Nigerian people.
