In recent times, the All
Progressive Congress (APC) Chairman has been making inciting statements to
balkanize the nation, issuing threats to form a parallel government, and other
inflammatory statements at APC events. In response to APC's persistent threats,
the ruling Party
(PDP), through its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, advised the APC leaders to learn to comport
themselves, eschew bitterness, desperation and divisive tendencies and instead,
think of how to make meaningful contributions to tackle the challenges facing
the Nation.
The APC National Chairman
has become a burden to the Nigerians, as he recently issued a statement
completely lacking in validity, all in a frenzied effort to extricate his
party, forgetting that Nigerians still recall the intensity with which the
opposition fought against moves by the British Parliament to investigate its
involvement with terrorist elements as well as divert attention from their
meetings outside the shores of our country in their bid to promote insurgency
in Nigeria.
Just
as Nigerians are asking questions, the PDP also wonder why the APC has chosen
to ignore some of the revealing aspects of Dr. Davis’ interview concerning Boko
Haram's fundings and sponsorship. Is it because they are not favourable to
them? Following the actions and utterances of APC leaders, it will certainly
not be out of place if Nigerians refer to APC as a party with a Janjaweed
ideology, as they stand 'accused' of promoting insurgency and acts of
terrorism.
