The ruling
All Progressives Congress has said that the insurgency which its government is
facing was inherited from the administration led by the Peoples Democratic
Party.
The APC said
the seed of insurgency was sown by the PDP “when it handled the Boko Haram
insurgency in an inept and incompetent manner.”
This was in
response to the “false claims by the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, who
lied that the Federal Government has lost control of the security situation.”
The party
said this in a statement signed by the National Secretary,
Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, John James
Akpanudoedehe, titled, ‘APC inherited insurgency from a
clueless PDP government.’
The statement
read in part, “The remarks by the Rivers state governor, whose party members
call a dictator, flies against the continuous efforts of our security forces
who are toiling day and night and successfully rolled back the Boko Haram
insurgency it inherited to a small part on the shores of Lake Chad.
“Nigerians
can recall that the insurgents once attacked places of worship, markets and
gathering of citizens in many states of the Federation before the APC
administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari galvanised and equipped the
armed forces to degrade their capacity to strike all over the country.
“It is ironic
that the dictator at the Rivers State government house has forgotten so soon
that kidnapping for ransom, like the Boko Haram insurgency, did not start under
this administration, but every effort is being made to stop it along with its
twin evil of banditry.
“The APC
administration has consistently worked for the best interest of Nigeria and
will not be distracted by the antics of the PDP designed to mislead Nigerians
into assuming that the PDP they rejected in free and fair elections in 2015 and
2019 is worthy of their trust.
“A leopard
cannot change its spots. The PDP is clearly in disarray. It was a failure in
governance and a shocking failure as an opposition party. Nigerians cannot risk
the country’s future in the hands of the same political party that brought the
rot the APC administration is clearing.”
