The Governing All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to offer public apology to Nigerians for supporting the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the past and playing politics with them.

Reacting to weekend’s attack on former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu in Nuremberg, Germany by members of the group, National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu described the reaction of the PDP to the attack as hypocritical.

Issa-Onilu said the group his under regional identity to perpetuate criminality in the region while receiving the backings of the PDP and its leaders, stressing that the attack on Ekweremadu was an affront on political dignity.

The statement reads: “The All Progressives Congress (APC) strongly condemns the attack on Senator Ike Ekweremadu, immediate past Deputy Senate President and serving Senator by members of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Saturday in Nuremberg, Germany.

“Those involved in the despicable actions and the organisation they represent are unworthy in character. No Nigerian should be assaulted in the manner Senator Ekweremadu was. It is an indecent action and it is below the acceptable standard of behaviour expected of our citizens whether in Nigeria or abroad.

“It is however regrettable that some of the people and organizations who had offered these irresponsible elements open support in the past are raising their voices now. It would be recalled that the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its leaders chose to play politics over a matter that called for collective patriotic actions when IPOB raised a terror group in the South East.

“It is clear that PDP and its other short-sighted co-travelers who were the main cheerleaders of IPOB owe this country an apology. IPOB hid under regional identity to perpetrate criminality having recruited some misguided elements and miscreants.

“Are we surprised by the PDP’s hypocritical reaction to the unfortunate attack on Senator Ekweremadu? No! The PDP and their leaders have acted true to type. This is what happens when politicians become myopic and allow narrow sentiments becloud their sense of judgement.

“We all have a responsibility to collectively rise against evil wherever we find it and in whatever guise it appears. We hope lessons have been learnt from this unfortunate incident.”

PDP should apologize

ok

If APC thinks this is an IPOB thing, let them announce that one of their high profile members is visiting someplace someday soon and tell us the venue so we can gather ourselves to welcome him cordially.

Awon Oloshi!


Edit: government propaganda trolls are out in full force today. Interpretation: They are SCARED.

Read my big lips, this is not an IPOB thing! Nigerians at home and abroad are tired. And from now, y'all will start feeling our frustrations embrace when you visit.

They'll apologise just as soon as APC apologise for supporting the bloodthirsty bokos and the evil herdsmen!

.so na PDP dey support lpob .Nigerian politics

Idiotic APC let them apologise for supporting herdsmen that kill innocent people daily and still brag about it, calling PDP hypocrites when they are the real hypocrites.

Apc should first appologize to Nigeria by sponsoring and supporting Boko Haram.

They should apologize for protecting headsmen .

Before then op and his fellow zombie should sleep

When will APC apologize for supporting meyetti allah?

For those supporting bad politicians

ok

We need to know when APC officials are visiting other countries. We need to have meeting on how to move this country forward.

We can fix Dubai, UK or USA. That is mostly their prefer destination

APC have been supporting migrant fulani jihadist herdsmen over Nigerians

How have PDP being supporting IPOB?

No, they shouldn't appologise

This is simply the beginning; they are yet to see the extent of the damage the monster they helped to nurture like a baby will cause

They aided the Ipob with the hope of protecting block votes of the Easterners for the 2019 elections which eventually flopped.

They should go ask the northern politicians who were sympathetic to the cause of Bokoharam at the beginning on why they are now backtracking


That is the thing about propagating hate or war, it sometimes backfire on the propagators themselves

The culprits should be arrested and treated as terrorist, deported for trial in Nigeria.
They keep tarnishing the image of the country outside.

If Pdp apologises, they lose the support of Igbos.
If Pdp doesn't apologise, they lose the support of Nigerians.

And When will APC apologise to Nigerians for the hardship they have brought upon them?
Bleep one Nigeria, Biafra must be a reality!

When APC chieftains were stoned in OGUN state, una no talk o...

Make una shut up

Na when people wayle tinubu una eye go clear

You beat Nigerians with Hunger at home.

Nigerians beat you with Slaps Abroad.

I am not seeing any difference here...
