The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it will not be dragged into an exchange with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in its plot to gain selfish and insensitive political capital from issues of national security.
The Nigeria’s governing party said this in a statement by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yekini Nabena, sent to The DEFENDER on Monday.
It wondered how the PDP could go to the extent of mocking its own country over the rescue of American citizen, by US special forces, kidnapped by terrorists in Niger Republic but moved into Nigeria afterward, when the main opposition knows that international collaboration is involved in terrorism cases.
“As with the case of Saturday’s rescue of a kidnapped American citizen in Nigeria by U.S. special forces, combating terrorism and other emerging cross border crimes require international collaborations and assistance when necessary.
“We don’t expect the PDP to understand this international best practice going by its evil penchant of diverting and sharing counter-insurgency funds to its political cronies and its criminal and negligent handling of the 2014 abduction of 276 Chibok schoolgirls while claiming a grand political conspiracy against it.
“Unlike previous PDP governments, the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government is not “sleeping on the wheel” on serious national concerns,” the APC lampooned the PDP.
