Kankara Abduction: APC In League With Bandits, Terrorists, PDP Alleges

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the All
Progressives Congress (APC) of being a party in league with bandits
and terrorists ravaging the country.

PDP in a statement issued on Friday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, alleged that the ruling party has
been acting as the mouthpiece of bandits, rationalizing killings
and kidnapping, showing express sympathy to terrorists.

According to Ologbondiyan, the APC has refused to condemn acts
of terrorism but attacks any person or groups that dare to
criticize the activities of these bandits or demand the
unconditional release of abductees.

“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the revelations
trailing the abduction and release of 600 students by bandits have
further exposed the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a party in
league with bandits, insurgents and terrorists ravaging our
nation,” the statement partly read.

“The PDP says such revelations further explain why the APC has
been acting as the mouthpiece of bandits, rationalizing killings
and kidnapping, showing express sympathy to terrorists, refusing to
condemn acts of terrorism but attacking any person or groups that
dare to criticize the activities of these bandits or demand the
unconditional release of abductees.”

Insecurity: Kankara Students’ Abduction Still the Shame of APC,
Buhari Presidency-PDP

…Says APC In ‘Blood Business’ With Bandits, Insurgents

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the revelations trailing
the abduction and release of 600 students by bandits have further
exposed the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a party in league
with bandits, insurgents and terrorists ravaging our nation.

The PDP says such revelations further explain why the APC has
been acting as the mouthpiece of bandits, rationalizing killings
and kidnapping, showing express sympathy to terrorists, refusing to
condemn acts of terrorism but attacking any person or groups that
dare to criticize the activities of these bandits or demand the
unconditional release of abductees.

Indeed, the Thursday’s statement by the Governor Mai Buni-led
leadership of the APC, in which it showed support to bandits by
condemning genuine protest by Nigerian women and youth in Abuja,
has further betrayed the APC as a party that has vested interest in
the proceeds of these reprehensible enterprises.

Moreover, the statement credited to the Minister of Information
and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, wherein he attempted to
rationalize the abduction of the 600 students as a normal
occurrence in other parts of the world, validates apprehensions of
high-level conspiracy against helpless Nigerians.

The outburst by the Buhari Presidency, blaming the killed 43
farmers in Borno state instead of taking steps to apprehend their
assailants also readily comes to mind.

The posers are; why is the APC always showing sympathy for and
canvassing understanding for bandits, insurgents and
terrorists?

Why is the APC not always forthcoming in condemning acts of
terrorism and banditry but only issuing lame and patronizing press
statements after being prodded and called-out by well-meaning
Nigerians including the PDP?

Furthermore, why is the APC and its administration always
attacking any person or groups who condemns acts of terrorism or
make suggestions on how to vanquish the terrorists?

What is APC and its leaders gaining from the activities of
bandits, terrorists, vandals and kidnappers, that they now act as
if they are sureties for these assailants?

Why has APC refused to account for the political mercenaries it
imported from Niger Republic and Chad to unleash violence during
the 2019 elections as well as come clean on allegations that they
are these crops of people are unleashing their anger on the nation
following the failure of the APC to settle them?

This is particularly against the backdrop of reported
declaration by President Muhammadu Buhari that the abductors and
tormentors of our 600 traumatized and brutalized students were
rather “settled”; a statement that does not only confirm that the
Buhari Presidency cannot combat terrorists but also explains why
banditry, kidnapping and acts of terrorism have become a thriving
bloody business under the APC.

It is imperative to state that the APC’s sympathy for acts of
terrorism had led to escalated attacks on our compatriots in the
last five years.

It is also very worrisome that our government under the APC can
no longer battle bandits and insurgent and now has to rely on
nascent groups coordinated by APC leaders to negotiate and pay
ransom to assailants.

Such devious designs have elevated acts of terrorism to a
per-second affair in our nation under the encouragement of the
APC.

The reported attack on the traditional ruler of Kaura Namoda in
Zamfara state as well as the abduction of the traditional ruler of
Ankpa in Kogi state, just after the settlement of the Katsina
bandits, shows a disturbing trend.

The PDP calls on Nigerians to hold the APC responsible for the
escalated act of banditry, kidnapping and terrorism ravaging our
nation.

Perhaps, the time has come for Nigerians, whose loved ones have
been kidnapped or killed by kidnappers or bandits, to approach the
APC for redress.

Kola Ologbondiyan
