APC:Playing Politics With Death Of Immigration Applicants


Must the All Progressive Congress play politics will every national issue that calls for sober reflection and unity in our efforts to rid the country of its ills?Should the President be dragged into each and every issue even when it is uncalled for all because the APC has an insatiable desire to always score cheap political points?
I read an article where Senators under the platform of the APC berated the President over the deaths of Nigerians during the Immigration recruitment lastweek.And according to them"the tragedy had further graphically underlined the insensitivity of the Jonathan's administration to the plight of the people".And i asked myself,how can a President who has restored railway transportation to Nigeria after donkey years which means the people can now move thier goods from the south to the north,thereby providing empolyment oppurtunities be insensitive to the plight of the people?Will a President who is insensitive to the plight of the people establish 12 more federal universities in Nigeria?Will he establish almajiri schools?Will an insensitive President construct about 10 power plants in one year and still counting?Will he take steps in making sure that Nigeria is guinea-worm free?Will an insensitive President transform an economy that now attracts the highest foreign Direct Investment in Africa?Will an insensitive President commence the building of the second Niger Bridge that has been on the cards since God knows when?His achievements are too numerous to mention.And let me also say that every successfully executed project by this government also authomatically provides jobs for Nigerians.Even though i admit that the government still needs to do more.But lets encourage our leaders instead of blackmailing them.
It is only in Nigeria that the opposition never looks at things from national perspective.Truely,we all are sad about the immigration tragedy,but the APC should not dance on the graves of the deceased under the pretext of being patriotic.
I am convinced that if the missing Malaysian plane incident had happened in Nigeria,the APC as usual would have pointed accusing fingers at the President,but ever since that incident occured,i am yet to hear the opposition in Malaysia blame the President.I am tired of the constant noise by the APC and so are Nigerians,they should give up.
