PDP Says APC Aids And Abets Terrorism


The Peoples Democratic Party has reacted to the decision by the All Progressive Congress governors to stay away from the National Security Council meeting convened yesterday by President Goodluck Jonathan.The party said the APC aids and abets terrorrism in the country.A statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh read as follows,"When we said that the All Progressive Congress as it is presently constituted aids and abets terror in Nigeria, by omission and commission,some Nigerians doubted us.
"But what further proof can there be of the culpability of the APC than the decision of its governors to shun the National Security Council meeting called by the President to deliberate on ways to bring the sponsors of terror and their footmen to book?
"It is important to note that APC governors do not shun meetings where the Federal Government takes care of their financial interests.But as this meeting is meant to take care of the interest of Nigerians,they shunned it.
"It is certainly more than curious that APC governors,particularly those whose states are at the thick of the Boko Haram insurgency are the ones who are trying to subvert meetings called to address the malaise.
"Nigerians should be conscious of their antics and read the body language of the APC.They may make the appropriate noises from time to time,but in the fight against terrorism,action speaks louder than words,"Metuh said.
