The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of sponsoring the attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan in Katsina and Bauchi as part of its devilish plan to demonize the opposition and force a postponement of next month’s general elections.
In a statement, in Lagos, Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the coordinated hysterical reactions to the attacks by the presidency, Senate President David Mark and the leadership of the Ijaw nation have exposed the sponsors of the attacks.
It said those who have gone into a frenzy in condemning the attacks should direct their anger at the PDP, which hired the hoodlums whoattacked the President in Katsina and Bauchi and gave them brooms to make them look like APC supporters.
”Information is now in the public domain that these attacks were self inflicted, with the aim of demonizing the APC and instigating retaliatory attacks in the southern states, thus precipitating chaos which the PDP and the Presidency will then use as an excuse for the postponement of the elections
”Apparently they did not envisage that the information about their complicity over the attacks will leak to the public. It is common knowledge that the security around the President is such that no hoodlum can come close enough to pelt him with stones,” APC said.
The party said the Presidency distorted facts when it accused the APC of breaching the Abuja peace accord that was signed by the presidential candidates of the various political parties, saying the PDP and its band of thugs did not allow the ink with which the agreement was signed to dry before they started breaching it.
”The second attack on our offices in Rivers took place after the pact was signed, just like the serial attacks on our supporters in Sokoto, organized by a PDP stalwart in the city and aided and abetted by the police. The death-wish-for-Buhari advert by the incautious Gov. Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State in the name of President Jonathan, which could have triggered unimaginable violence if not properly managed bythe APC, also breached the agreement.
”Where was the Special Adviser to the President on Political Affairs,Prof. Rufai Ahmed Alkali, when all these breaches were taking place?
Not once did he issue a statement to say ‘this nonsense must stop’.
”Where was the Senate President, David Mark, when these breaches were taking place? He was never on record as condemning the attacks on the APC offices and its supporters or the irresponsible and downright repugnant advert by Gov. Fayose. Are those in the opposition not Nigerians who also deserve the care and attention of the nation’s number three citizen?’
”Mr Senate President, sir, if any party is guilty of ‘despicable desperation’ as you claimed, it is your party, the PDP. Which party has been using all the cheap tricks in the books to postpone the elections at all cost? Which party has been sponsoring attacks against itself to demonize the opposition and force a postponement of next month’s election? Which party has deviated from issues and become fixated on the person of the APC Presidential Candidate, savaging and lying against him at every point? Mr. Senate President, remember the saying that he who must come to equity must come with clean hands,”it said Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteCall your members to order instead of this nonsense, just feel sorry for Nigeria coz APC won't bring abt the much needed change.
ReplyDeleteOne statement that caught my attention is the idea that those who haulled stones at the President held brooms, the main opposition's symbol. Do you think any idiot would do that? Your answer is as good as mine. Deceit all through and political gimmicks. All have failed. Nigerians know who they will cast their votes for, needless to appeal to our emotion again.
ReplyDeletePDP sponsoring attacks on President Jonathan and also sponsoring attacks on Buhari. ...APC think b4 u open mouth., Nigerians are not fools.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who this Barak Wendy is. Senseless and thoughtless who just feels like talking or making a comment for the sake of doing so. His comments never follow a logical trend and that he has been receiving 5k for every campaign outing they contract him for is not a license to be poke nosing on what he knows nothing amount. He should go and advice Tompolt, Dokubo Asari and all the shameless fools that JEG has failed and we never be heard again effective February, 2015 and nothing will happen to Nigeria, I bet.
ReplyDeleteTHERE IS NO CAUSE FOR QUARRELS, REAL NIGERIANS WOULD VOTE pdp OUT OF POWER COME FEBRUARY 14. SEE YOU AT THE POOLS; VOTE BUHARI FOR CHANGE!
