Jos Bombings: APC Justifies Ekiti Rally


PDP faults campaign
Chuks Okocha and Onyebuchi Ezigbo
The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday justified its political rally in Ekiti State, saying the decision to hold the rally was compelled by exigencies of time.

The party, which reacted to accusation by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of not postponing its campaign in honour of the victims of Jos twin bombings, told the PDP to stop playing politics with the lives of Nigerians, describing it as wrong, irresponsible and uncharitable to seek to make political gains out of the worsening and deadly terror attacks in the country.


In a statement issued in Gusau, Zamfara State yesterday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said Nigerians are too discerning to be hoodwinked by PDP’s ceaseless finger-pointing and name calling, as exhibited by the party’s overly-exuberant and rarely-introspecting spokesman.

“We were left with no choice than to proceed with the rally in view of the suddenness of the Jos twin bombings and the fact that Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) cannot be prevailed upon to change the timetable of the Ekiti polls, made it as somber as possible under the circumstances.

It said Nigerians who watched the live telecast of the APC rally in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday saw how the party, left with no choice than to proceed with the rally in view of the suddenness of the Jos twin bombings and the fact that (INEC) cannot be prevailed upon to change the timetable of the Ekiti polls, made it as somber as possible under the circumstances.


‘’Despite the presence of musical groups and other performers, all musical breaks in the programme and all other scheduled performances were cut out, while the rally itself was drastically abridged. There is no doubt that the PDP’s spokesman did not even bother to get the full details of the rally before rushing to the media in his usual jumpy self.

‘’Mr. Olisah Metuh is definitely eager to act like an opposition spokesman rather than the spokesman for the ruling party. This is not a problem as his party is definitely fighting hard to trade places with the APC as the main opposition party come 2015. We can only appeal to Mr. Metuh to wait for a few more months and, in the meantime, start learning the ropes as an opposition spokesman,’’ APC said.

The party reminded the PDP that the Ekiti rally was not the same as the illegal rally in Kano, where President Goodluck Jonathan led other PDP leaders to engage in Azonto dance less than 24 hours after 75 of his compatriots were killed in the first Nyanya bombing.

It also said the Ekiti rally cannot be equated with the failure of leadership, the cluelessness and the callousness exhibited by PDP leaders, including President Jonathan and Mrs. Kema Chikwe, in the aftermath of the abduction of school girls in Chibok; or the fact that the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian armed forces is so afraid of a band of terrorists that he has failed to live up to his presidential billing by visiting Chibok.

‘Reacting to the justification, the PDP said the leaders of the APC wanted to unleash their personal frustrations on Nigerians, stating that they should note that Nigerians are peaceful and loving people.
The PDP said: “We will remain one nation and Nigerians will continue to go with the PDP irrespective of the lies and propaganda unleashed by the APC.

“No matter the antics of the APC, the PDP will remain on top and we will win the 2015 general election. The election is not going to be conducted in the media. It is not going to be based on how many insults you hauled at your opponents. It is all about people who are peaceful and loving and have the best agenda for Nigeria.

“We want the APC to provide Nigerians with answers to our questions. Why is it that the APC, which was down and out only recovered their voice and boisterous selves after the recent bombings and the attacks? Is it violence that propels them as a party? Is there any link between the attacks and the propensity of the APC to dance naked in the public with their statements?


“One thing is clear. The APC cannot intimidate the government. They cannot intimidate the PDP and they cannot intimidate Nigerians,” the National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Olisa Metuh said.

*in ejike Asiegbu's voice* who 'expired' the card?
The phd holder is headless and I think this prof oladipo is even more stuupid and a disgrace to his appellation.
see the cheap way they chose to save their faces. If His card has expired, why was it so important for pdp in ogun state to expel him after he tore his card?

This is why i stated that bulk of PDP supporters made the most of the 21 million mentallos as reported by the psychiatrist association of the country.

You order for Torch and engraved GEJ on it . The light of the torch is meant to illuminate GEJ's induced darkness in Nigerian homes, yet you honour and worship him with his face on the torch.

The GEJ who ensured we did not go pass the 4,000MW and confined you to the use of torch every night, you even confirmed the sales of torch is moving at a fast rate. Stockholm syndrome all over you, and your customers.

doctokwus:
Does this even make sense to you:the branded item must have been inspected,the buyers clearly knew they were branded with buhari's image,yet they purchased it and u are claiming they returned it.
Besides if buhari is as unpopular as you want to claim,why go to all this length to prove it,you shd relax urself,take time off this senseless threads and watch 'GEJ coast to victory' na.

Louislewis:
[size=20pt]Because they were caught, they begged The Guardian to pretentiously publish the apology as if it was an error from them. Who are you people deceiving?[/size]

customized13:
APC now denying to have released any picture.

You guys think Nigerians are f00ls abi.

Obiagelli:
Why should they apologise for something they had nothing to do with?

biddieluvzyaho:
Hmmmm,fayoshe is really a good investigative journalist#smiles#

Obiagelli:
What is the source of that picture in the first place?
Definitely not from lai Muhammed or the Apc campaign office.

Guardian should tell us where they got the picture in the first place.

thegoodjoehunt3:
It was a misunderstanding. The picture was released after Gen. Buhari arrived London and people including reputable journalists and members of APC thought the picture was taking in London.

The journalist who conducted the interview, clarified the interview was done at Abuja.

So there is no plan to lie but a misunderstanding. PDP did not find anything but the journalist that conducted the interview clarified the misunderstanding.
