The Presidential Campaign Organization of the All progressives Congress (APC) has pointedly told the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to carry its cross and not demonize the opponent.
Reacting to the violence that led to the burning of the campaign bus of President Goodluck Jonathan in Jos, Plateaue State capital, the spokesperson for APC Presidential Campaign Organsiation, Garba Shehu, advised the party to look inwards.
The incident was said to have been caused by internal wrangling arising from the rigged governorship primaries in the state.
According to Shehu, “The incident in Jos was passed as a “PDP on PDP violence” yesterday evening, flowing from their rigged primaries.
“That is the earliest security report we got. Nobody should change that and use it to demonize opponents.
“General Buhari was the first to condemn this incident the moment it was reported on Saturday. Check his Twitter handle. These were his words:
“I have been informed of the burning of PDP campaign buses in Jos today. This is unacceptable! There is no excuse for this violence”
“I am hoping that the Police will immediately investigate, arrest and prosecute the culprits. Our democracy cannot tolerate violence in any form”
“PDP should leave us out of their Wahala,” Shehu said.
