The All Progressives Congress has called on President Goodluck
Jonathan to stop complaining about the role of so called sponsors
responsible for Boko Haram menace and instead nip the problem in the
bud.
The APC made the remarks in an emailed statement made available by Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
The statement reads partly, “Mr. President should rise above the fray
and seize this moment in history to assert your leadership and stop
whining about this insurgency. The buck stops on your desk, so stop
pushing it to other people.
“If indeed you believe in the lies being peddled by your genuflecting
and capricious party officials that the opposition is behind these
attacks, what prevents you from ordering the arrest and prosecution of
these sponsors if you have concrete evidence of their involvement?
“In any case, how did these tales-by-the-moonlight sponsorship
allegations prevent your government from frontally tackling this
all-consuming insurgency? Does the head of a household refuse to put off
a fire set on his roof because some arsonists are behind it? Mr.
President, this is your battle to win or lose, and you are the one
history will judge over the outcome, not those self-serving members of
your party?”
In its response, the Peoples Democratic Party via its spokesman Chief
Olisa Metuh said the APC had nothing to offer the country in the form
of leadership.
He said, “This is a time for all Nigerians to come together and pray
for the country. The APC has nothing to offer. It is wrong for the party
to be talking politics now when the nation is in anguish.
“We are not going to engage them in talking or politicking over this
matter. We will rely on the security agencies to speak in their efforts
at rescuing our daughters.”
