BOMBSHELL: Buhari And APC Encourage Boko Haram- PDP Insists
Category: Nigerian National News
- PDP Will Not Apologise To Buhari, APC Over Terrorism Support Accusation.
- Buhari's 7days warning to PDP for apology has expired and it is now over a month.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh on Tuesday in Abuja
said that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not going to
retract its earlier statement that the leaders of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) aided insurgency in Nigeria.
Metuh also said that
in its pursuit of power shift the opposition party was heating up the
polity by distracting President Goodluck Jonathan from his
transformation agenda.
Immediately after a bomb exploded at the
Nyanya bus park killing more than 75 people on April 14, Metuh issued a
statement in which the ruling party alleged that the attack was
politically motivated and could be traced to the words of some of the
APC politicians who wanted to make Nigeria ungovernable.
This
statement followed by another one in which the PDP said that General
Muhammadu Buhari, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former FCT
Minister Nasir el-Rufai, and Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi had
been sparking off hatred and attracting insurgents by making
inflammatory remarks against the President.
Buhari demanded a
public apology from the PDP and threatened to drag them to court within 7
days, but his warning seems to have been ignored. It is now over a
month and the APC leader did not go to court as he threatened.
"The issue of the attack which has to do with the statement that we
issued after Nyanya bombing, especially on the statement and utterances
of APC leaders like Buhari and the rest of them, that statement was made
and all the members of the NWC of the PDP were unanimous; they
virtually agreed on it. We stood by it, we stand by it today that if the
opposition leaders had been more careful with their utterances, the
polity would not have been overheated," Metuh said in the Tuesday
statement.
He further said that this was "the fact" that the
people "encouraged" by the APC's statements were financing insurgents.
"We are happy today that they have chosen the part of wisdom to tamper
their
voice."
