Ahead of the National Security Council meeting holding today
in Abuja, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has condemned the
Governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, over the memo he sent to
northern governors recently.
It could be recalled that
Governor Nyako had accused the presidency of sponsoring insurgency in
the north when he wrote a memo to the Northern Governors Forum recently.
While refuting the action of the state governor, the ruling party told him to learn from other leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who have eased up on their inciteful statements.
The PDP also advised President Goodluck Jonathan and the 36 state governors to come up with a resolution that would stop people, especially elected persons, from making inflammatory statements that could fuel insurgency in the country.
Chief
Olisa Metuh, the national publicity secretary of PDP, through a
statement, said that the ruling party will continue to caution APC
leaders against making comments that fuel violence and motivate
insurgency in the country.
PDP Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metu warns APC over their comments
“Governor Nyako must desist from such and learn from other APC leaders who are now comporting themselves better as a response to PDP statements which succeeded in exposing the link between their unguarded utterances and escalation of violence and insurgency in our nation”, the party said.
“As a responsible party, the PDP has made its point on the utterances, comments and statements by politicians which tend to influence and/or instigate people to violence and we believe that our statements have made APC and some of their leaders more responsive to their collective duty of verbal restraint.
“However, we still decry attempts by the APC to seek cheap publicity by making classless, childish, immature and ineffective statements on terrorism matters. Sometimes they even speak as if they can't control their actions”, the statement said.
