Buhari Media Organisation (BMO)
has described the recent killings in Plateau as the handiwork of political
opponents of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to NAN, this was made
this known in a statement jointly issued by Austin Braimo, chairman of the
organisation, and Cassidy Madueke, the secretary, on Friday in Abuja.
The statement said opponents of
APC wanted to replace the party’s recent successful national convention with
tears, sorrows and blood.
It said the opposition Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) was behind the “harvest of death in order to truncate
the achievement of the APC and cast dark imagery on the season of goodwill of
President Buhari’s political party”.
The statement said the carnage
and brigandage was timed to meet the period that APC delegates were returning
home in northern Nigeria through Plateau state; where they were waylaid and
murdered in cold blood.
“This was done to tarnish the
reputation of the President and cast the image of APC in bad light, just for
the desperate opposition to gain some political advantage.
“It was also gathered that
illegal roadblocks were set up by the hired assassins to carry out their
nefarious and dastardly hatchet act of man’s inhumanity to man.
“Almost 90 people were cut down
in their prime near Jos, Plateau Capital.
“The APC today is laden with
heavy hearts by the mass killing of innocent breadwinners, women and children,
under the guise of herdsmen versus farmers’ unrest.
“BMO is appealing to Nigerians to
show love to Mr. President and show avowed resistance to the unpatriotic people
who are working hard to pull the President and his party down.
“The opposition PDP might have
achieved its sadistic media objectives of casting pall on the APC and federal
government, but doing that on a field soaked with human blood is regrettable
and unpardonable.
“No amount of calculated
distractions or ill-will would prevent President Buhari from fulfilling his
electoral promises of security, unity, equity and development to Nigerians.”
The statement said the
association prayed for the repose of the souls of these martyrs, and quick
recovery to the maimed and injured while commiserating with the families of the
departed.
