The Presidency on Thursday listed
those assassinated during the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, administration.
Lauretta Onochie, the Special
Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Social media, urging Nigerians not
to return the country to the reign of PDP in 2019, listed names of notable
individuals assassinated between 1999-2014.
Onochie also noted that under the
APC administration, the Nigeria Police had secured more arrest of kidnap
kingpins than under the PDP.
She stated this in a post on her
official Facebook page titled “Some Assassination and unresolved murders during
the dark years of PDP ‘1999-2014’
The post read: “While many kidnap
kingpins have been busted by men of the Nigerian Police and alleged suspects of
murder cases arrested and arraigned before court of competent jurisdiction
under the three years of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), that
cannot be said to have occurred under the 16 years of PDP led government.

i hope she's not calling for comparison contest now because she will delete her post if we start that now and even apologize to Nigeria for bring this up. remember what led to the reform of SARS.
ReplyDeletePlease we also want to know how many people have died during the shi'it conflict, the Benue massacre, the Plautue killing, the killings still going on in Kaduna, the zafara killings, the killings in nasarawa. The killings in the whole south east during the crocrodile smile. Those in edo and all the killings in South West because of grazing.it is easier to see the spike in another man's eye, but the log in your eyes, you havent dim it fit to remove. You are counting dead that happened during a period of 16 years. But take a look at the one that happened in 3 years, you will know the reason Nigerians rejection APC and Buhari
ReplyDeleteThis absolutely confirms that Buhari and his administration don't know what they're doing. They're not only wasting time but they're also confirming their stupidity. The killings that have taken place in Buhari's current administration have never before been witnessed in the history of Nigeria. Even the attempt to list the killings that took place in any past administration shows they have nothing doing; they've run out of ideas. I hope voters take note of this huge fallacy and vote them out of power come 2019.
