NDC Slams Tinubu Govt Over Failed 112 Emergency Line Demonstration.
The party described the incident as a national embarrassment and a reflection of what it called the failure of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government to deliver effective public services.
In a statement signed by its Spokesperson, NDC National Campaign Council, Dr.
Chiogo Constance Ikokwu, the party said the failed demonstration had raised serious questions about the state of Nigeria’s emergency response infrastructure and the government’s preparedness to protect citizens.
The NDC said the emergency line, which should provide immediate assistance during accidents, violent attacks, medical emergencies and other life-threatening situations, failed to respond when it was put to the test on national television. It dismissed the explanation that the failure was caused by network issues, insisting that Nigerians needed functional public safety infrastructure rather than excuses. “Giving an excuse that the line did not work because of ‘network issues’ does not cut it at all. We ask the APC government to stop giving excuses and get things moving,” the statement said.
