The All Progressives Congress on Thursday urged the Peoples Democratic Party to stop playing politics with the lives of Nigerians.
The APC said it is wrong, irresponsible and uncharitable for the PDP to seek to make political gains out of the worsening and deadly terror attacks in the country.
This was contained in a statement by APC’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital.
According to the party, Nigerians are too discerning to be hoodwinked by PDP’s ceaseless finger-pointing and name-calling, as exhibited by the party’s “overly-exuberant and rarely-introspecting spokesman.”
The PDP, in its reaction by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, said the opposition party is simply trying to vent its frustrations on innocent Nigerians.
Metuh said, “Their statements are as ugly as their looks and their actions. They are carrying their personal frustrations on Nigerians; we are a peaceful nation, they should leave us alone.”
However, the APC insisted that Nigerians, who watched the live telecast of the APC rally in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday saw how the party left with no choice than to proceed with the rally in view of the suddenness of the Jos twin bombings and the fact that INEC could not be prevailed upon to change the timetable of the Ekiti polls, made it as somber as possible under the circumstances.
The APC statement partly read, “’Despite the presence of musical groups and other performers, all musical breaks in the programme and all other scheduled performances were cut out, while the rally itself was drastically abridged. There is no doubt that the PDP’s spokesman did not even bother to get the full details of the rally before rushing to the media in his usual jumpy self.
”Mr. Olisah Metuh is definitely eager to act like an opposition spokesman rather than the spokesman for the ruling party. This is not a problem as his party is definitely fighting hard to trade places with the APC as the main opposition party come 2015.
“We can only appeal to Mr. Metuh to wait for a few more months and, in the meantime, start learning the ropes as an opposition spokesman.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

DeleteAPC. ...ALL OF YOU ARE STUPID, EXPECIALLY THOSE FROM NORTH KILLING THERE PEOPLE THINKING IS WISE WAY TO STOP MR PRESIDENT NOT TO SHOW UP OR WIN 2015 ELE. ......
ReplyDeleteGoodluck Jonathan or whatever you call yourself, i've taken my time to observe most of your comments and i can see they are all coming from a mentally unstable person. You must be deaf, dumb and blind not to know the happenings in this country. The president has failed to tackle corruption and provide security for the Nigerian populace. He has lost credibility. I dont blame him but the electorate for ignorantly voting for him out of sympathy. Now i believe Nigerians will learn from their mistakes and come 2015, GEJ is leaving. If he were to be an honourable man, he would have voluntarily resigned and apologised to Nigerians for completely betraying our trust. He's a complete failure. Nigeria havn't had it this rough! If his resignation will bring peace, why not sacrifice and leave! Must he die in Asorock?
