The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have condemned the brutal attack on Yelewata community in Benue State on Friday, which claimed several lives and left hundreds displaced.
The opposition party, in a statement released on Monday, wants Bola Tinubu to take decisive action that will see the perpetrators of the dastardly act apprehended and prosecuted.
The PDP commiserated with the families of the victims of the senseless killings in Benue State and other parts of our country and urged them not to relent in their efforts to ensure the security of lives and property in Nigeria.

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP accused Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of being “largely unconcerned”
The party said, “It is clear that the assailants marauding communities in various states of our country are being emboldened by President Tinubu’s lethargic approach to security as well as the alleged complicity of the APC, which has failed to decisively confront the situation given its reported connection with terrorist interests.
“It is traumatic to watch the gory pictures and videos of Nigerians who were murdered in cold blood in Benue State and other parts of the country while Tinubu and the APC carry on as if all is well.
The PDP added that “Tinubu should be held responsible for the killings in Nigeria, having not demonstrated the will and commitment expected of a Commander-in-Chief in the fight against terrorism in our country.
“Instead, he has remained largely aloof and resorted to passing the buck with his aides issuing lame press statements without corresponding urgent presidential action to guarantee the security of citizens.”
The PDP charged Tinubu to end “his lethargic approach to security,” saying “he should show leadership as the Commander-in-Chief and lead from the front by immediately visiting the troubled communities in Benue State and take decisive action to end the killings in the country.”
