PDP blames APC for Nyanya bomb attack, releases statement

And now we are playing blame games. In statement
signed this afternoon by PDP National Publicity
Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the party condemned
today's Nyanya bombing describing it as barbaric
and extremely wicked and maintaining that it was
politically motivated. They called APC out! So wait,
politicians are playing games with people's lives?
Read statement below...
"The PDP weeps. We are indeed grief-stricken. Our
hearts go out to the bereaved, especially those
who have been orphaned and widowed and those
now deprived of their bread winners by this evil
act. We share in their pain, their anguish and their
loss and pray that those behind their grief must
not escape justice," the party said.
"We stand by our earlier statements that these
attacks on our people are politically motivated by
unpatriotic persons, especially those in the APC,
who have been making utterances and
comments, promoting violence and blood-letting
as a means of achieving political control."

"Nigerians are also aware of utterances by certain
APC governors which have been aimed at
undermining our security forces and emboldening
insurgents against the people.
"Those who have been promoting violence
through their utterances can now see the monster
they have created. They can now see the end
product of their comments; a country flowing
daily with the blood of the innocent.
The question is; how do they feel when they see
the mangled and blood-soaked bodies of their
victims? How do they feel when they hear the
voices of the dying and the injured?
"Of course they feel nothing. Their hearts have
been hardened and they are embittered by the
fact that they have been rejected by the people.
They are bitter because the people have chosen to
rally round the government they love and voted
for; but must they chose the path of violence and
bloodletting as a response to the wishes and
aspiration of the people.
Urging all well meaning Nigerians to stand up and
join President Goodluck Jonathan in his untiring
efforts to check terrorism in the country, the PDP
caution those fueling the attacks to retrace their
steps, rid themselves of bitterness and
desperation and seek forgiveness from God.
The party, in solidarity with the people also
shelved all official engagements while praying
God to grant the bereaved the fortitude to bear
the loss.
