The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused President
Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government of desperately dragging Nigeria into war for
ulterior motives.
Debo Ologunagba, PDP spokesman, said the projected war with
Niger Republic was heightening the tension in Nigeria.
A statement by Ologunagba said the APC was trying to plunge
Nigeria into a state of war by dragging “our military into a needless conflict
with Niger Republic.”
According to him: “The PDP observes that the insistence by
the APC administration to draft Nigerian soldiers into Niger Republic in
defiance to the disapproval by the National Assembly and Nigerians across
board, validates apprehensions in the public domain of ulterior motives by the
Tinubu-led APC to import crisis and destabilize our nation for political
reasons.
“While the PDP frowns at unconstitutional change of
government in any part of the world, our Party holds that the situation in Niger
Republic does not warrant any external peace-keeping effort and does not
constitute any threats whatsoever to our national interest to justify
committing our already overstretched military to harm’s way in a needless war.
“The insistence of the APC government to go to war in Niger
Republic is already heightening tension in Nigeria.
“There are insinuations in the public that the APC is only
desperate to deploy Nigerian military to Niger Republic so as to provoke
possible external aggression from that country, thereby orchestrating a
situation for the declaration of a State of Emergency in Nigeria with the
tendency to cripple the judicial process on the 2023 Presidential election and
divert attention from the hardship the APC has foisted on the nation in the
last two months.”
