And now we are playing blame games. In statement signed this afternoon
by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the party
condemned today's Nyanya bombing describing it as barbaric and extremely
wicked and maintaining that it was politically motivated. They called
APC out! So wait, politicians are playing games with people's lives?
Read statement below...
"The PDP weeps. We are indeed grief-stricken. Our hearts go out to
the bereaved, especially those who have been orphaned and widowed and
those now deprived of their bread winners by this evil act. We share in their
pain, their anguish and their loss and pray that those behind their
grief must not escape justice,” the party said.
"We stand by our earlier statements that these attacks on our people
are politically motivated by unpatriotic persons, especially those in
the APC, who have been making utterances and comments, promoting
violence and blood-letting as a means of achieving political control." Continue...
“Nigerians are also aware of utterances by certain APC governors
which have been aimed at undermining our security forces and emboldening
insurgents against the people.
“Those who have been promoting violence through their utterances can
now see the monster they have created. They can now see the end product
of their comments; a country flowing daily with the blood of the innocent.
The question is; how do they feel when they see the mangled and
blood-soaked bodies of their victims? How do they feel when they hear the voices of the dying and the injured?
“Of course they feel nothing. Their hearts have been hardened and
they are embittered by the fact that they have been rejected by the
people. They are bitter because the people have chosen to rally round
the
government they love and voted for; but must they chose the path of
violence and bloodletting as a response to the wishes and aspiration of
the people.
Urging all well meaning Nigerians to stand up and join President
Goodluck Jonathan in his untiring efforts to check terrorism in the
country, the PDP caution those fueling the attacks to retrace their
steps, rid themselves of bitterness and desperation and seek forgiveness
from God.
The party, in solidarity with the people also shelved all official
engagements while praying God to grant the bereaved the fortitude to bear the loss.
