APC Bomb PDP, Atiku For Allegedly Politicising Killing Of Soldiers

The All Progressives Congress, APC has attacked the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar for supposedly making political points out of the killing of more than 100 Nigerian soldiers by Boko Haram in Metele, Borno State.

The APC in a statement issued by its spokesman, Mallam Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu said:

“The allegations by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that military funds have been diverted to finance the  2019 election campaigns of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a sad reminder of the evil and retrogressive practices the PDP was notorious for during its defunct rule.

God forbid that the APC inherits and apply such morbid practice as brazenly displayed during the immediate-past PDP administration where funds allocated to fight the Boko Haram insurgency in the Northeast were shared among PDP leaders and their cronies.

“It is clear that the PDP and its Presidential candidate, Alh. Atiku Abubakar have decided to dance on the graves of our valiant and patriotic soldiers by politicising their deaths in the recent Boko Haram attack on the Nigerian Army Metele base.

“The PDP and Atiku are playing desperate politics where even the blood of our fallen heroes is fair game. Their actions are callous and insensitive to the families and dependants of the late soldiers and indeed our military which battles daily to ensure our territorial integrity.

Nigerians see through PDP’s ploy to score political points as elections approach and it will surely backfire.

“While the APC mourns the death of our military and other security personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty, we urge them to remain focussed on the brave task of securing the nation. The President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration remains solidly committed to bringing lasting peace and security to all parts of the country and ensuring that previously displaced persons are rehabilitated to resume their normal and productive lives.”
