The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday claimed that it handed over a united and stable Nigeria to the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC).
The opposition party made this claim in response to a statement issued by the APC, earlier on Wednesday, which claimed that the insurgency issues was inherited from PDP.
APC had stated it was responding to “false claims by the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, who lied that the Federal Government has lost control of the security situation.”
However, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement titled ‘Stop Attacking Wike, You Compromised Security, PDP Replies APC.’ said the country was united when the party was in power.
The statement reads: “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) berates the All Progressives Congress (APC) for attacking Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, for exposing the failures of the APC and its administration, particularly their ignoble roles in the escalation of violence, killing and other acts of terrorism across our nation.
“The PDP asserts that Governor Wike, in stating that the future of our nation cannot be left in the hands of the APC, directly spoke the mind of the majority of Nigerians across board.
“As such, any attack on Governor Wike, on this score, is a direct assault on the generality of Nigerians.
“Nigerians are aware that the PDP administration of President Goodluck Jonathan handed over a united and stable country to the APC and President Muhammadu Buhari after pushing terrorists to the fringes and conducting elections in all parts of our country,” the statement concluded.
