APC a party with Janjaweed ideology has been promoting terrorism – PDP
NATIONAL leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP yesterday
alleged that National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun, the leadership of the party and the party structure were
frustrating efforts by the Federal Government to contain the lingering
cases of Boko Haram insurgency with many killed regularly and property worth millions of naira destroyed.
In a statement yesterday by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief
Olisa Metuh, the PDP also accused the APC of being a party made up of
desperate politicians who support violence in all its ramifications.
Metuh described the statement by the leadership of APC on statement
made by Australian, Dr. Stephen Davis as completely lacking in validity,
character and intellectual content befitting the chairman of a
political party.
The PDP spokesman said:
“The Peoples Democratic
Party has noted yet another failed image laundering stunt by the APC
wherein its National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun cheapened his
office and person by attempting to use an unempirical statement by
Australian Dr. Stephen Davis, to absolve his party of blames for
promoting insurgency in the country.
“Whilst we recognize the right
of citizens to hold and canvass opinions in a democratic setting such as
guaranteed under the PDP-led administration, we hold, and strongly too
that such rights must be properly and respectably exercised.
“It is
therefore shocking and worrisome that the APC National Chairman, Oyegun,
in a frenzied effort to extricate his party, rather than exonerate the
APC has reinforced and underscored its true identity as a party of
desperate politicians supportive of violence and disunity through their
utterances and body language, a fact that is already well known to all
Nigerians.
“In trying to stand the truth on its head, Oyegun has
succeeded in further exposing the desperation of the APC to launder its
image through renewed propaganda and blackmail, a project which has
already failed.
“If not to achieve the self-serving purpose of
exonerating the APC, why would Oyegun’s statement choose to be silent on
the revelation by Davis that some people opposed to President Goodluck
Jonathan used their connections with Boko Haram to frustrate his
efforts?
“We also wonder why the APC has chosen to ignore some of
the revealing aspects of Dr. Davis’ interview concerning Boko Haram’s
funding and sponsorship. Is it because they are not favourable to them?
“While not holding brief for anybody, it is clear to every discerning
mind that Oyegun’s statement, with all intent and purpose is yet another
decoy to frustrate genuine efforts at finding solutions to the security
challenges we face as a nation to the advantage of the APC whose
penchant to use the promotion of violence as tool to achieve political
control is well known to all.
“Nigerians may recall the frenzy with
which the APC fought against moves by the British Parliament to
investigate its involvement with terrorist elements as well as to divert
attention from their meetings outside the shores of our country in
their bid to promote insurgency in Nigeria.
“For the avoidance of
doubt, we wish to restate that we stand by our statements that the APC
as a party with aJanjaweedideology has been promoting insurgency and
acts of terrorism through the actions and utterances of its leaders.
Indeed, no amount of blackmail or propaganda can erase this truth.
“Nigerians have since noted the pattern and timing of violent attacks
against our people which betray a trend tailored against the PDP and the
Federal Government and provide impetus for the APC to find a voice and
thrive. They know that it has become a recurring decimal that whenever
the PDP or the Federal Government records or is about to record a major
milestone, insurgents launch attacks on the people.
“Oyegun must
understand that Nigerians know the APC for what it truly is and can no
longer be hoodwinked by propaganda, blackmail and tactical
misrepresentation. He should therefore stop debasing his office by
struggling for media space with his National Publicity Secretary.
“It is indeed disheartening that the APC National Chairman has continued
to disparage his office and age by making series of unguarded and
inflammatory utterances and issuing statements laced with fabrications
and wild allegations while leading his party like a frustrated rebel
group desperate for political control; and whose understanding of
opposition is crass unruliness and a culture of irresponsibility.
“Chief Oyegun has only succeeded in disappointing many Nigerians who
thought his coming to office will result in a more responsible and
constructive opposition. Instead, the reprehensible image of APC as a
party that has nothing good to offer has worsened under him.”
