PDP Explains Why Abuja-Kaduna Train Attack Was Successful

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned what it Tuesday described as   the  worthlessness of the lives of Nigerians under “the insensitive and cruel All Progressives Congress (APC) government,” saying that the Abuja-Kaduna train attack arose from the complicity of silence by the government to the earlier attack at the Kaduna airport.

The PDP said that the attackers were emboldened by the conspiracy of silence by the government after the Kaduna Airport attack.

“The successful ambush of the train on the Abuja-Kaduna service by terrorists who killed many Nigerians, abducted scores of others in an operation that lasted for over an hour, again confirms PDP’s stand that the security command and control coordination structure under President Buhari has collapsed,” the PDP said in a statement issued by its spokesman, Hon. Debo Ologunagba 

“More alarming is the fact this particular attack took place within two days of the deadly terrorist attack on the Kaduna International Airport on Saturday, March 26, 2022 in the same Kaduna State controlled by an APC government.

“The PDP insists that the complicity of silence by the Buhari administration on the Saturday’s airport attack emboldened the terrorists to assault the train; a development which also validates PDP’s position that the APC administration has conceded sovereignty over parts of our country to terrorists.

“The continued silence and obvious helplessness of the Buhari Presidency on these deadly attacks on our nation’s key transportation sectors raises apprehensions of possible complicity at the very top level of the APC administration.

“It is callous and unfortunate that the APC government, in its usual insensitive nature attempted to suppress information by keeping mute over 24 hours after this horrendous attack which claimed the lives of promising Nigerians among whom was a young medical doctor, Dr. Chinelo Megafu who was fatally shot in the ill-fated train travel,” the PDP said in its denunciation of the government’s actions it claimed stoked the Abuja-Kaduna train attack.

“Nigerians can recall the confession by a former APC leader that these assailants are terrorists brought from neighboring countries by the APC as “political mercenaries” to rig the 2019 general elections.

“In 2021 over 10,366 Nigerians were killed by terrorists with over 2,900 abductions in countless terrorism related attacks in which no fewer than 964 security agents were killed, as revealed by SB Morgen (SBM) Intelligence Report published in the Guardian Newspaper of Thursday, January 3, 2022.

“Those killed in 2021 represents a scary 47% increase in the 7063 massacred by terrorists in 2020. 

“The question to ask is, how many more Nigerians can our nation afford to lose because of the recklessness and arrogance in failure of the APC?  Nigeria bleeds, families are hurting, parents mourn and agonize, yet the APC government is on vacation.”
