The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara state has again accused President Goodluck Jonathan and the leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of insensitivity to the plight of innocent Nigerians being slaughtered everyday in the north east.
According to the party’s Interim Publicity Secretary, Sulyman Buhari, “It is shameful to watch PDP in Kwara State on Monday where the President, Vice President and top government functionaries abandoned issue of governance and matter of urgent importance for a mere political rally when thousands of Nigerians were Mourning the senseless killing of their love ones few days ago speaks volume about the character of the people at our helms of affairs as Government.
“This attitude indeed confirms the APC position that apart from rhetoric, the President and his party have nothing new again to offer Nigerians. While the people of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa were still in shock and trauma occasioned by the unabated bloodletting that has almost become a daily occurrences in their various domain, our President and his Vice with entourage from across the country choose Kwara state for an un-patriotic rally where they were busy singing and dancing on the graves of these Innocent Nigerians whose future were abruptly brought to an end with no fault of theirs.
“If our President falls victim of this attack, will he be celebrating at dead party rally? Of course, not. As a leader and party, one would have expected the President and the leadership of his party to have used the precious time to either visit the troubled and traumatized families in these areas of Northern region, not only to condole them but to give them hope and sense of belonging but instead, President Jonathan told Nigerians that Political Rally at this time is of Importance to him than the Lives of the wasted future leaders of our dear Country.
“Unfortunately, the so called decampees in which the PDP and the President chose to exhibit their insensitivity and the clueless leaders were known oppositions in the State who had never had any history of electoral Victory. This is a fact President Jonathan too has confirmed. While then abandoning these helpless Nigerians at this critical period that they require the attention of their President whom their votes put him in office as President?
“The APC in Kwara Condemned this shameful act of insensitivity and in human feelings demonstrated by the so called ruling party in its entirety and call on all and sundry to reject this act of Insensitivity come 2015.
“While again we joined all those leaders and illustrious Nigerians that have been showing concern about the happenings on the increasing insecurity in this part of the Country, we urge the Federal Government to be more alive to its responsibility as we wish to remind the government that it is when people are alive that they can cast votes.
“As progressives, we remain unshaken and committed to serving the people whom we primarily represent”.
