The leadership of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), has commended Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike and his
Ekiti State counterpart, Ayo Fayose, for visiting Benue state and extending
assistance to victims of the recent violent attacks and other internally
displaced persons in the state.
The party leadership, which had
earlier visited Benue at the wake of the attacks, said the gesture by the two
governors at a time the Presidency and governors elected on the platform of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) have been turning a blind eye to the sufferings
of the victims, underlines PDP’s commitment to the wellbeing of all Nigerians
in line with its undying ideology and vision of its founding fathers.
PDP National Publicity Secretary,
Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Thursday, said “it is disheartening that
the Presidency had refused to visit Benue state recalling that when the APC
governors visited, after much entreaties, they failed to show any form of
empathy to the victims, a stance which further displayed APC’s disdain for
Nigerians.”
The party said that “instead of
APC empathizing with the people and ensuring that perpetrators of the attacks
were brought to book, the party leaders have shown more concern for their
selfish political interests across the nation.”
The PDP urged the people of Benue
state to be vigilant and continue to work with their leaders, while assuring of
its support always.
