CNPP to PDP: Stop Blame Game , Fund the Military

Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) has challenged the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) led federal government to as a matter of urgent national importance to stop the blame game and fund the Nigeria Armed Forces.
“We are sick and tired of the unfounded Blame-Game-Drum PDP is serially darting at the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the midst of threatening insurgency, bloodletting and gruesome anarchy in the land” said Osita Okechukwu the CNPP spokesman in a statement
“It is our candid view that propaganda cannot bail us out, for if anybody in the APC is behind the insurgency why don’t the PDP arrest the person?
“While the PDP National Working Committee yesterday was idling away with their blame game, the Chief of Accounts and Budget of Nigeria Army, Major General Abdullahi Muraina exploded the bomb in Jaji, ‘Currently, budgetary allocations for the military is inadequate to meet the challenges and also to cater for the welfare of the Nigeria Army.’
“He went further to narrated that apart from inadequate funding bureaucratic bottlenecks and the nebulous envelope system are adversely hindering military operations, ‘Apart from limitations of the envelope system, the Nigeria Army is enmeshed in the bureaucratic bottlenecks for funding approvals for military operations.’
“The inadequate funding clearly may be the reason why soldiers shot Major General Ahmed Mohammed, the General Officer Commanding the 7 Division, the first of such incident in the history of military operations in Nigeria.
CNPP recalled that when the governor of Borno State, His Excellency, Alhaji Ibrahim Shetima told the world that the Boko Haram insurgents were better equipped and better motivated than the Nigeria Army; PDP went to town hauling all manner of invectives on the governor. A Daniel has come to judgment as Major General Muraina is only painfully telling the truth and not playing politics, for the man who wears the shoe knows where it pinches.
In sum, CNPP said the PDP should swallow the humble pie and admit that the corruption mandate it has implemented since our return to civil rule has not only ravaged our infrastructure, declined our economic development, impoverished our citizenry, but has stunted the robust growth of our military.
