The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) describes the effort by the APC to
justify President Muhammadu Buhari's neglect of our fighting troops,
leading to the killing of over 100 soldiers by insurgents, as abhorrent,
reprehensible and a slap on the sensibility of Nigerians. The PDP in a
statement signed by its publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan today,
said by this, the APC as a party has fully demonstrated that it is a
dysfunctional organisation which attaches no value to the lives of our
soldiers or other Nigerians, but more interested in seeing funeral
ceremonies and gloating over the graves of its victims. Read the rest of
the statement below...Why would the APC attempt to wave off
revelations, which are already in the public domain, that officials of
the Buhari Presidency are diverting funds meant for military equipment
and welfare of our soldiers to finance Mr. president's re-election
campaign.If the APC were not jittery over revelations that it is a core
beneficiary of this evil racket, why is it rushing to defend the
Minister of Defence on findings that he diverted military funds to
produce campaign materials for the APC including an electronic momento,
with APC logo boldly inscribed on them?The APC, in its hallucination,
forgot that Nigerians already know that the neglect of the Buhari
Presidency led to the killing of our soldiers and that the President and
the APC had remained unconcerned and only started shedding crocodile
tears after a public outcry on the killing and their ominous silence.We
challenge the APC to explain to Nigerians why it took President Buhari,
as Commander-in-Chief, a whole week to express 'shock' over the killing
of over 100 of our soldiers?Does that not portray our President as a
commander who has abandoned his troops and cares less of happenings in
the front?What has the APC to say to the fact that the Buhari Presidency
failed to act on the threats by insurgents to attack the military base
days before the deadly invasion and killing of our soldiers?What has APC
to say to the fact that at the time our soldiers were being attacked by
insurgents, our Service Chiefs were busy participating in President
Buhari's re-election campaign rally and launch of Next Level mantra,
stolen from a foreign institute?What has the APC to say to the fact that
instead of being at the forefront of investigations, our Minister of
Defence was busy using military funds to produce campaign souvenirs for
President Buhari and the APC?It is therefore an unpardonable assault on
the sensibility of Nigerians for the APC to, in anyway, attempt to
justify President Buhari's negligence and inaction toward the welfare of
our soldiers as well as the diversion of military fund for Mr.
President re-election campaign at the expense of the lives of
Nigerians.If the APC is not complicit in this heinous crime against our
nation, we challenge it to join the PDP in demanding for a National
Assembly inquest into the killing and the handling of anti-insurgency
funds under President Buhari, instead of this resort to wicked
hypocritical posturing.
