Days after the gory terrorist attack on a Kaduna-bound train on Monday night, the Peoples Democratic Party, Thursday in Abuja, said that a “public confession” by the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, authenticated its position that the All Progressives Congress-led government knows the whereabouts and plans of the terrorists but failed to act.

The main opposition also alleged that the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, said his request to install security surveillance equipment to avert terrorist attacks on the Kaduna-Abuja rail was not honoured by the Federal Government.

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the main opposition quoted the Kaduna State Governor as saying “we know where their camps are, we know where they are, the SSS has their phone numbers, they listen to them and they give me report…”

However, in an earlier report, The PUNCH highlighted that the governor, referring to the terrorists said, “We know what they are planning. We shouldn’t be waiting for them to attack; why can’t we go after them? We are in a state of war; this place should be declared a warzone. The Army, Air Force, and the police should go in there and kill them.”

In the statement titled, ‘Terrorism: El-Rufai, Amaechi’s confessions confirm complicity by APC govt,’ the PDP quoted the transport minister as saying “We knew what the problem would be. We knew we needed to have digital security equipment. We applied for it. Because if we had those equipment, you would see nobody on that track. And I warned that lives will be lost. Now, lives are lost. Eight persons dead, 25 persons in the hospital.”

It also accused the Buhari-led government of “refusing to act despite having full intelligence on the whereabouts, as well as the plans of the terrorists, confirms grave complicity and conspiracy.”

“It is clear that the APC is complicit in the many acts of terrorism in our country. Nigerians should therefore be united in ensuring that the APC is voted out of power in 2023 so that our nation can breathe a new lease of life,” it added.

Efforts to reach the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Felix Morka, proved abortive as calls made to his mobile number were not answered.

PDP should shut the f up! They are the same with APC!

The whole politics thing is for personal gains! They know the bandits and everyone who terrorizes. They are they.

PDP is very useless for making that statement. This statement makes it look like PDP was behind the attack foe political gain.
In a space of 3 weeks, there has been a total of 6 co-ordinated attacks at critical infrastructure built by this administration thereby weakening the economy and setting the country back.
This is the type of thing PDP can do in other to see what to campaign with to get back to power. Evil party.

As usual, some persons who wish to keep the embers glowing in the pointless neverending schoolyard tiff between APC and PDP, North and South, Afonja and IPOB, etc will jump on this as food "don land", especially the 2 (ifods) above me, but I urge you to please go take your squabble back behind your work places and neither of you comes back until both sides have either reached a mutual consensus or have killed each other off completely! The rest of the nation is done with you and neither the political party nor section of the country which you defend wants either of you or your members back. We have moved on and so we encourage you to do the same.

Evil is evil

I guess PDP stopped the military from being proactive as alleged by El-rufai. You guys are just the problem of this country
