Blame APC For Abuja Bomb Explosion - PDP

Following the deadly bomb blast that rocked Abuja today,the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused and blame the opposition party, All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Monday incidence in which over 71 persons were reportefly killed and 124 injured according to the Police report.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, condemned as barbaric, monstrous and extremely wicked, the explosion which occurred at Nyanya motor park today, on the outskirts of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT. Metuh, who insisted that the bomb blasts could not be justified under any means, but that they were politically motivated and can be traced to the comments of desperate persons who seek to undermine and discredit the Jonathan's administration and make the nation ungovernable for him by instituting a reign of terror against the people.
Earlier today after the bomb explosion, the national leader of the All Progressive Congress and former Head of state, Gen, Muhammadu Buhari has totally condemned the attacks on the Nigerian people, calling it "A cruel act of merciless slaughter"

But Olisa Metuh in his statement affirmed that PDP stands by its earlier statements that these barbaric attacks on people are politically motivated by unpatriotic persons, especially those in the oppositionn party, All Progressives Congress (APC) who have been making utterances and comments, promoting violence and blood-letting as a means of achieving political control. Adding that the 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 of this country.

He said; “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."




Rhetorically, Metuh said; "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 choose the path of violence and bloodletting as a response to the wishes and aspirations of the people?”

According to him, “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." He said
