The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of deliberately frustrating federal government efforts aimed lasting solutions to the insurgencey in the North-East
In a statement Tuesday by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the PDP also accused the APC of being a party made up of desperate politicians who support violence in all it’s ramifications.
Metuh described the statement by the leadership of APC on statement by Australian, Dr. Stephen Davis as completely lacking in validity, character and intellectual content befitting of a Chairman of a political national party.
The PDP Spokesperson said, “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has noted yet another failed image laundering stunt by the APC wherein its National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun cheapened his office and person by attempting to use an unempirical statement by Australian Dr. Stephen Davis, to absolve his party of blames for promoting insurgency in the country.
“Whilst we recognize the right of citizens to hold and canvass opinion in a democratic setting such as guaranteed under the PDP-led administration, we hold, and strongly too that such rights must be properly and respectably exercised.
“It is therefore shocking and worrisome that the APC National Chairman, in a frenzied effort to extricate his party. Oyegun’s statement rather than exonerate the APC has reinforced and underscored its true identity as a party of desperate politicians supportive of violence and disunity through their utterances and body language, a fact that is already well known to all Nigerians.
