The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress, APC, of encouraging terrorism in Nigeria.
PDP’s spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan alleged that the
Buhari-led APC is responsible for the killing of innocent Nigerians by
terrorists.
Ologbondiyan alleged that APC members once sympathised with
terrorists in a bid to frustrate the efforts of former President Goodluck
Jonathan.
In a statement he signed, Ologbondiyan recalled how APC
members, in 2013, frowned against the proscription of terrorist groups in
Nigeria.
The statement by Ologbondiyan reads partly: “The PDP recalls
how the APC chieftain, as opposition leaders in the APC, as well the defunct
Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), openly showed sympathy to terrorists and took
steps that frustrated genuine efforts by the then PDP government to fight
terrorism.
“Nigerians can recall how in 2013, APC leaders, then as ACN
leaders, declared the proscription of terrorist groups in Nigeria as
unconstitutional and even demanded that terrorists be accorded VIP treatment
and should be brought to Abuja for negotiation in private jets; a development
that sparked public apprehensions of their suspected links with terrorist
groups.
“PDP asked Nigerians to hold officials of the Buhari
Presidency responsible for the festering violence and incessant killing of
innocent Nigerians by terrorists.”
