The All Progressives Congress,
APC, in Borno state on Tuesday described PDP’s national spokesman, Kola
Ologbondiyan as shameless and lacking wisdom because whereas he has never
issued statement to share the pains of Borno people over series of deaths, he
was very quick to release statement politicizing reports of alleged protest by
policemen.
The PDP National Publicity
Secretary had in the statement described the alleged protest by police officers
on duty in Borno State, over unpaid allowances as “unfortunate and an ugly
epitaph of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC)
administration.”
But reacting, state chairman of
the APC, Ali Bukar Dalori, in a statement expressed anger that the PDP
spokesman issued the statement at a time sensible Nigerians were more concerned
about potential implications for the security of Borno people.
He expressed shock that despite
Ologbondiyan’s previous years of practicing journalism, he was bereft of the wisdom
and patriotism which Nigerian journalists were known for.
“Nigerian journalists are known
to be wise, smart and with some level of patriotism no matter what their
interests are. I am shocked that a senior journalist like the PDP’s national
spokesman lacks basic wisdom. I think his quick statement in trying to
politicise alleged protests by policemen over unpaid allowances in Borno State
presented him as unwise and shameless because I have never read a single
statement he authored or seen him speak anywhere sharing our pains over
unfortunate attacks by Boko Haram against Borno people.
“I have also not seen him or any
member of his party trying to offer any support to displaced persons including
those needy ones in Abuja. I have never seen him write anything to encourage
the military or the police over many successes they recorded in the fight
against Boko Haram.
“His statement shows that the PDP
is politically rejoicing at a time other sensible Nigerians are having concerns
on the implications for the security of our people. The statement also showed
that PDP’s only concern and ultimate wish is not for Nigeria to become safe and
prosperous but for President Buhari’s fight against Boko Haram to get
distracted.
“The party’s statement showed
that the PDP doesn’t care about it’s very few members that are based in Borno
State. That statement by the PDP is a big shame and it showed political naivety
on the part of the party’s spokesman at the national level,” Dalori said in his
statement.
