The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the disagreement between Babagana Monguno the NSA and President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff (CoS) Abba Kyari, calling it a national disaster.
Monguno had accused Kyari of hijacking the coordination of security leadership and keeping him on the sidelines when it comes to making strategic decisions in national security operations.
The country’s main opposition in a statement signed by Kola Ologbondiya, its national publicity secretary, noted that the disagreement is a national tragedy, Legit reports.
He also said Monguno’s statement exposes the fact that Nigeria under President Buhari has been on autopilot.
Ologbondiya noted that the untold suffering and growing insecurity in the country is a result of Buhari’s abdication of serious matters of state which he is directly responsible for.
Meanwhile, it was previously reported that Nigeria’s National Security Adviser accused Kyari of undue interference on matters bordering on national security.
The development led the NSA to send a warning memo to all service chiefs to desist from taking further directives from Kyari. This was contained in a document sighted by an online news platform.
In a related development, presidential media aide, Garba Shehu, has described the so-called cabals allegedly influencing President Buhari’s decisions as respectable Nigerians.
Shehu, who was a guest on a Channels Television programmes on Wednesday, December 25, 2019, said contrary to beliefs that the cabals manipulate Buhari, they deserve respect because they have achieved a lot.
