Main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that divisive policies promoted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) are responsible for the killings in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
Recall that the main opposition party, PDP in a statement released on Sunday had accused the APC of being responsible for the rising insecurity in the country.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the PDP accusations, the ruling party said the opposition party, PDP was excited about the security challenges bedeviling the nation.<\/p>\n
But in a statement signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP spokesman, on Monday, the opposition party said it stands by its earlier position.<\/p>\n
Ologbondiyan said the APC\u2019s resort to blackmail, threats and attack on the PDP and other well-meaning Nigerians cannot deter it from \u201cfurther exposing the atrocities of the ruling party and its leaders\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur party insists that every material evidence shows that the APC and its leaders are implementing their Janjaweed agenda to balkanize and destroy our nation through their unholy body language, divisive policies, violent acts, abuse of human rights, disregard to our national sensibilities and shameful patronising of terrorists and bandits, which have led to widespread killings, violence and dissonances across our nation,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe APC and its administration have become sanctuaries of known and self-confessed terrorism apologists and individuals known to openly romance with bandits and terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n
Making reference to the killing of Ahmed Gulak in Imo on Sunday, the PDP accused the ruling party of blaming victims of violence rather than going after culprits.<\/p>\n
The opposition party also accused the APC of trying to politicise Gulak\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigerians are still expecting some explanations from the APC and its government over that gruesome murder in Ngor Okpalla,\u201d Ologbondiyan said.<\/p>\n
The PDP also challenged the APC to \u201ccome clean on the connection of its leaders with bandits, as well as why it has never raised a strong voice against the incessant mass abduction of students in various parts of the country\u201d.<\/p>\n
