The ruling Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) and opposition All
Progressives Congress (APC),
weekend clashed over the bomb
blast which targeted a former head
of state, Major General
Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), in
Kaduna.
The PDP leadership, yesterday, said
the APC could not exonerate itself
from insurgency incidents in some
parts of the country, while an APC
senator, Professor Olusola Adeyeye,
was blunt in declaring that the PDP
should take responsibility for what
he called “the assassination
attempt”on Buhari.
Asking the PDP to accept
responsibility for the attack on
Buhari, the APC Senator
representing Osun Central, Adeyeye
said, yesterday, that no one else
could have been responsible for the
attack but the ruling party.
Speaking with newsmen in Osogbo,
Osun State capital, Adeyeye, the
Vice Chairman, Senate Committee
on Education, stated: “Boko Haram
has not claimed responsibility for
the attack on Buhari. From all
indications, Muslims were not the
ones who attacked him, neither
were they Christians.
“I am sure those who attacked
Buhari were sponsored by the PDP.
“Anyone who knows Buhari will
know that he is a devout Muslim.
So, Muslims could not have
launched any attack against him.
He was not attacked by Christians
too. The only people that could be
suspected are the PDP,” said
Adeyeye.
The PDP, in a statement by its
National Publicity Secretary, Chief
Olisa Metuh, said the APC had been
promoting insurgency through the
actions of some of its leaders on the
grounds that the insurgents were
after President Goodluck Jonathan
and the PDP.
“If the APC leaders had joined other
well-meaning Nigerians in
condemning acts of terrorism at the
early stage, those behind them
would not have been bold enough to
get to the current alarming level,”
the statement adds.
The ruling party described as
laughable and lame the attempts by
the APC to use the Kaduna bomb
attacks to absolve itself of blame
for encouraging insurgency in the
country.
According to PDP, the statements
by the APC and its governors were
failed attempts at image laundering.
It claimed that APC’s true identity
as a party supportive of violence
and disunity in the country was
already well known.
