The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, last night slammed opposition parties involved in the formation of the All Progressive Congress, APC alleging a sharp division among them over recent comments by Gen. Muhammadu Buhari on the government’s campaign against Boko Haram.
The PDP in a statement Monday, alleged an internal fight among elements in the APC over comments attributed to Gen. Buhari in which he had slammed the Federal Government’s military campaign against the insurgent Boko Haram militants as unjustified.
The PDP statement followed a statement issued by the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, one of the leading parties involved in the formation of the APC in which the party flayed the PDP as a big for nothing party.
The ACN had in the statement accused the PDP of political cannibalism noting that the recent family dinner was a charade that vainly sought to cover the party’s descent into ignominy.
Alleging that Buhari has been finally unveiled as a religious and tribal bigot, the PDP in the statement issued by Chief Olisa Metuh, the PDP’s national publicity secretary, said: “Instead of unnecessarily attacking the PDP, the ACN and its co-traveller, the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, should be bold enough to tell Nigerians the outcome of their meeting where their members were sharply divided over comments by their leader, General Muhammadu Buhari condemning the decision by the Federal Government to root out insurgency in the country and describing it as an attack on the north.
“Many of their members have now realised that they are in the wrong boat captained by insensitive religious and tribal bigots.”
