The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has berated the All Progressives Congress (APC) party chieftains’ celebration of the turbaning of Yusuf, President Muhammadu Buhari’s son, as District Head of Daura, Katsina State.
The PDP described the turbaning and celebration of Yusuf by the APC, despite escalated killings in many parts of the country as provocative, vexatious and heartless.
In a statement on Sunday, Hon Debo Ologunagba, the National Publicity Secretary of PDP, the party said: “is it not unpardonable that while the APC had failed to show empathy on the gruesome murder of scores of travellers who were burnt alive in Sokoto state, the massacre of over 15 worshippers in Niger state, other compatriots felled in Kaduna, Katsina and other parts of the country in the last few days, its leaders and officials in government had the time to attend the turbaning ceremony of President Muhammadu Buhari’s son in the same troubled Katsina State?
“Is it also not provocative, vexatious and indeed the height of heartlessness that APC and its leaders’ party while Nigeria burns?”
“Nigerians can recall that despite demands by the PDP, the APC and its leaders have failed to account for the ‘political mercenaries’ they reportedly imported from neighbouring countries as thugs, gangsters and hoodlums to unleash violence on Nigerians during the 2019 elections,”

The party added: “The least Nigerians expect of the APC is to forcefully give its government a marching order to develop a wholesome strategy to proactively tackle insecurity, including targeting the source of funds to terrorists, many of which were revealed by a foreign government, yet the APC government refused to take action.
“Unfortunately, the APC as a party of selfish and bloodthirsty “political bandits” does not have the commitment, readiness or capacity to do so.”
