PDP Accuses APC of Prioritizing Cattle over Abducted School Children
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the All Progressives Congress (APC) for allegedly prioritizing the welfare of President Muhammadu Buhari's cattle over the safety of abducted school children in Katsina state. The PDP claims that APC's insensitive stance towards the kidnapping of 600 students highlights its disdain for Nigerians and its lack of concern for their well-being.
The PDP, in a statement by its spokesman Kola Ologbondiyan, criticized APC for not forcefully condemning the kidnapping and recent gruesome killing of 43 farmers in Borno state by terrorists. The party also accused APC of supporting the Buhari Presidency's insensitive comment blaming the slain farmers, rather than taking steps to apprehend the assailants.
