President Buhari and the APC’s opposition, the People’s Democratic Party PDP has charged at the President to control his family members who have reportedly engaged in shootings at the villa.
In a series of tweets, the party noted that it is deeply worried that the issue which was between the First Lady Aisha Buhari and the President’s aide has degenerated into violent combats and the use firearms.
Recall that the First Lady had asked that the IGP release and restore her aides who were arrested on the order of Idris Kassim, the Chief Security Officer to the President.

“The @OfficialPDPNig is alarmed by the reported shooting and security breaches within the precincts of the Presidential villa following a reported degenerated squabble among family members and officials of the @MBuhari Presidency. The @OfficialPDPNig is deeply worried that the protracted spat between the First Lady, @aishambuhari, and aides of President @MBuhari has now degenerated into violent combats, raids and free use of firearms within the Presidential villa. The party described as distressing, the report that a members of Mr. President’s family were at scene of the assault against one of President @MBuhari’s aides, during which the First Lady’s security details were alleged to have resorted to the use of firearms. Our party is disturbed by such ugly situation in the @MBuhari Presidency, which has already heightened apprehensions in the public space over the apparent failure of security architecture and central command system in the presidency leading to such reckless and irresponsible breaches.“
“The chaotic situation in the Presidential villa only points to the failure by President @MBuhari to provide a leadership that can guarantee orderliness in governance and effectively ensure the security of our nation. The @OfficialPDPNig notes that such leadership failure at the highest level has further exposed why our nation has been bedeviled by myriads of security and economic problems under President @MBuhari’s watch in the last five years. More worrisome is that the @MBuhari Presidency had failed to speak out on the frightening situation so as to reassure Nigerians and douse the tension in the polity; especially at this critical time when our nation is facing serious security challenges.” Read also: Five Years Of Buhari, A Road That Should Not Have Been Followed – PDP
“The @OfficialPDPNig therefore calls on President @MBuhari to take immediate steps to restore order in his Presidency and shield our security system from the division and power tussle among persons close to him. Our party also demands for an immediate inquest into the security breaches as well as the alleged violation of COVID-19 ban on inter-state travels by officials and relations of Mr. President, which was reported to be part of the immediate causes of latest disturbances in the Presidential villa. Furthermore, the @OfficialPDPNig urges the @nassnigeria to save the nation by wading into the persistent infighting in the @MBuhari Presidency especially as those in charge of the Presidential villa has not demonstrated the required capacity to engender the needed orderliness for productive governance“, the tweets read.
