The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop accusing opposition politicians of sponsoring the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Dayo Adeyeye, the former ruling party called on the APC to admit its poorly articulated policies in government served as the catalyst for the IPOB problem.
The PDP urged the APC to do soul searching and correct the anomalies behind the agitation for actualisation of the State of Biafra.
The party said: ”We had advised not a few times, that the APC should look inward and seek solutions to its self-induced challenges in government caused by its unpreparedness for governance; but since the Party seem set for self-destruction, we shall not relent in helping to expose their ineptitude to the Nigerian populace.
”We noticed that the Minister (Minister of Information Lai Mohammed) who is much known for his unbridled capacity for constant polarization of the polity rather than ardency in the proper dissemination of government policies and information to the populace, tried once again on Sunday, to shift blames of the poor handling of the agitations of IPOB by the Current Government to an opposition that exists only in his imagination.”
Enemies
According to the party, it is disheartening that rather than accept blame for its ineptitude, the APC Government continued to blame ”enemies” real or imaginary for their woes.
”How on earth will a serious-minded government blame opposition parties which they have conveniently labeled “looters” for the activities of IPOB? But we take solace in the fact that the APC might actually know the looters, as the Party has clearly demonstrated its penchant for giving covers to people considered as corrupt.
”The recent release of 48 Houses confiscated as proceed of crime back to a member of the APC who was standing trial for allegations of corruption readily comes to mind,” the party said.
The PDP said the agitation for actualisation of the State of Biafra was totally silent while the PDP was in power.
It said this happened because the party created a government of inclusiveness.
