The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has berated the All Progressives Congress (APC) governors over silence on
the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to visit Benue victims.
The party described the failure
of APC government to visit victims of attacks as an act of hypocrisy, adding
that the same APC governors in 2013, who insulted the PDP for delay in visiting
Borno at the heat of insurgency attacks have lost their voices.
National Publicity Secretary,
Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Thursday challenged APC led government to
show sympathy to the plight of Nigerians.
The statement read “It is
unfortunate that the same APC leaders, who heavily criticized the PDP and
wrongly accused it of staying away from troubled parts of the country, have
become dumb under President Buhari in spite of his daily failures in governance
and heartrending indifference to the plight of Nigerians.
“Today, Nigerians are heartbroken
to realize that those they thought were patriots and messiahs never had any
iota of goodwill towards them.
“The question are, why have the
APC governors and ministers suddenly lost their voices now that President
Buhari has refused to visit Benue or show any form of empathy to the plight of
Nigerians? Have Benue and Taraba now become ‘no go areas’ for President Buhari?
Indeed, this indifference calls for deeper reflection by Nigerians.
“We challenge the APC governors
to have a change of attitude towards Nigerians and at least show that they also
are human, especially at this trying time, which the inept APC government has
plunged the nation into.
“Stating that it will continue to
be on the side of Nigerians against the unfeeling and inept APC government.
Nigerians should to despair as the APC misrule will soon come to an end with
the return of the PDP in 2019.”
Recall that the PDP sent a
delegation to Benue state to commiserate with Benue Governor Samuel Ortom over
killings in the state.
