Benue killings: You are hypocrites, PDP tells APC governors, ministers.

   
The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has chided the All Progressives
Congress (APC) governors and some serving
ministers on their silence on the failure of
President Muhammadu Buhari to visit Benue
state over the killings of scores of citizens in
the state by suspected Fulani herdsmen
recently.
The party condemned what it termed a
conspiracy of silence by “The same APC
governors who in 2013, unleashed insults on
the PDP and its federal government for
allegedly delaying in visiting the fronts of
Borno” at the peak of insurgency attacks,
adding that they have suddenly lost their
voices now that President Buhari has refused
to visit Benue, Taraba, Kadnuna and other
crisis-prone areas to condole with the people
over recent killings.
The party in a statement by its national
publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, on
Thursday, enjoined Nigerians not to forget
that neither the APC governors nor any
federal delegation had visited Benue, Taraba
or Kaduna since the mindless killings and the
traumatizing mass burial of victims that
followed.
“It is unfortunate that the same APC leaders,
who heavily criticized the PDP and wrongly
accused it of staying away from troubled parts
of the country, have become dumb under
President Buhari in spite of his daily failures
in governance and heartrending indifference
to the plight of Nigerians.
“Today, Nigerians are heartbroken to realize
that those they thought were patriots and
messiahs never had any iota of goodwill
towards them.
“The question are: Why have the APC
governors and ministers suddenly lost their
voices now that President Buhari has refused
to visit Benue or show any form of empathy
to the plight of Nigerians? Have Benue and
Taraba now become ‘no go areas’ for
President Buhari?,” it queried, adding that
“Indeed, this indifference calls for deeper
reflection by Nigerians.”
While pledging to continue to defend the
interest of Nigerians at all times, the PDP
urged the people not to lose hope, adding that
come 2019, the ruling party would be chased
out of power.
