PDP Berates Buhari, APC Govs Over Failure To Visit Benue
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) governors over their failure to visit Benue state.
The party described the failure of APC government to visit victims of attacks as an act of hypocrisy, adding that the PDP was insulted for delay in visiting Borno at the heat of insurgency attacks.
National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Thursday challenged APC-led government to show sympathy to the plight of Nigerians.
The statement read “It is unfortunate that the same APC leaders, who heavily criticized the PDP and wrongly accused it of staying away from troubled parts of the country, have become dumb under President Buhari in spite of his daily failures in governance and heartrending indifference to the plight of Nigerians.
“The question are, why have the APC governors and ministers suddenly lost their voices now that President Buhari has refused to visit Benue or show any form of empathy to the plight of Nigerians? Have Benue and Taraba now become ‘no go areas’ for President Buhari? Indeed, this indifference calls for deeper reflection by Nigerians.”
Recall that the PDP sent a delegation to Benue state to commiserate with Benue Governor Samuel Ortom over killings in the state.
