The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the All Progressive Congress (APC) for instructing is governors to boycott the National Security Council meeting.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisah Metuh, the party said: “When we said that the All Progressive Congress, APC, as it is presently constituted, aids and abets terror in Nigeria by omission and commission, some Nigerians doubted us.
“But what further proof can there be of the culpability of the APC than
the decision of its governors to shun the National Security Council
meeting called by the President to deliberate on ways to bring the
sponsors of terror and their foot men to book?
“Government is different from politics and it is quite unfortunate that
in the pursuance of politics APC Govs shunned a meeting to secure the
nations integrity and protect the lives of Nigerians.
“It is important to note that APC governors do not shun meetings where
the Federal Government takes care of their financial interests. But as
this meeting is meant to take care of the interests of Nigerians, they
shunned it.
“Could it be that the APC is not happy with the news by the police and
security agents that they are closing in on the perpetrators of the
Nyanya bombing even as they were able to recover the body of the
bomber?
It is certainly more than curious that the APC governors, particularly
those whose states are at the thick of the Boko Haram insurgency are
the once who are trying to subvert meetings called to address the
malaise.”
Nigerians should be conscious of their antics and read the body
language of the APC. They may make the appropriate noises from time to
time, but in the fight against terrorism, actions speak louder than
words!
