The
Chairman, Board of Trustee (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Anthony
Anenih, has called on governors to use their security votes to gather
information that will help curb the country’s security challenges.
Addressing a meeting of the PDP
Governors’ Forum in Abuja, Anenih said that using the fund was necessary, as
the Federal Government alone could not guarantee security in the country.
“All of you are chief security
officers of your states, the Federal Government alone cannot give all Nigerians
security and everybody must be involved.
“The market women, governors,
members of the National Assembly and councillors must all be involved.
“Most of those who destroy
houses and kill people live with us and police cannot perform miracle without
information.
“Getting information now is
very expensive so I appeal to the governors that this is the time to use your
security votes to seek information. Nobody will blame you for that,’’ the News
Agency of Nigeria quoted Chief Anenih as saying at the meeting.
The BoT chairman also stressed
the need for members of the party to reconcile their differences.
He said, “If anybody says that
PDP is not on ground, he must be telling lies. The problem PDP has is the
inability to reconcile.
“I want to appeal to all of you
here present and through you to others that are not here that Nigerians want a
change.
“They want reconciliation; they
want to see that it is well with us. We must be ready to reconcile ourselves
and avoid those things that tend to divide us.”
Chief Anenih said that all that
was needed to move the party and the country forward was unity, sincerity,
commitment and loyalty of all members.
