APC doesn’t care about Nigerians – ADP

Abuja

The Action Democratic Party (ADP) has said that ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is not bothered about the pains most Nigerians are going through, especially the parents of abducted Dapchi school girls.
The party adduced that such lack of care was demonstrated over the weekend when big wigs of the APC attended a rally in Akure, Ondo State when parents of the abducted school girls and other well-meaning Nigerians were mourning the dastardly act under the watch of the APC-led federal government.
In a statement signed yesterday in Abuja, the ADP National Chairman, Engr. Yabagi Sani, said “holding such rally at a time when most Nigerians are still in pains of the abducted Dapchi girls shows the APC as a party that is not bothered by the pains of the people”, adding that “the APC leadership does not learn from history.”
“It is unthinkable that the APC will not be able to put off any scheduled celebrations in solidarity with the family of the over 100 missing girls.
“This is the same blunder the PDP committed in 2014 when a few days after the Chibok school girls abduction they went to Kano for a rally and the army of the APC propagandists led by Lai Mohammed swooped on them, calling them names that led to their eventual fall.”
Sani also said the ADP was sad that history was repeating itself and the APC with its government was carrying on as if it is nothing serious.
“First, they lied that more than half of the girls were recovered. Later, they claimed they were waiting to get reports from parents and now days have started counting while the Chibock tragedy remains unresolved.
“As for us in the ADP, we are finding it difficult to explain the lackadaisical attitude of the political party in power. It is beyond describing the abduction as a national tragedy or giving it names. It is about taking steps to immediately bring the children back. It is not about passing blames, it is about making concerted efforts and being open with the challenges and limitations government is facing.
“Let the APC and its government be serious and open. This is a national challenge that all of us must work to resolve. If they continue to pretend and lie that all is well, dancing at rallies and consumed with 2019 passion, they may as well be the disaster that has befallen our nation at this time”, the ADP chairman concluded.
