The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) yesterday lambasted the All Progressives Congress (APC) over its claims on the fight against insecurity, warning that it should stop misleading Nigerians by engaging in propaganda over the sensitive issue.
PDP was reacting to a statement by APC yesterday which faulted criticisms directed at President Muhammadu Buhari, while also declaring that it was confident he would successfully bring the security challenges in the country to an end.
Reacting however, PDP national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan said the APC was attempting to deny the obvious reality on ground.
Ologbondiyan added, “The APC are just misleading Nigerians and doing mere propaganda with their incredible claims.” He noted that “what is happening today is the worst we have ever experienced as a country.”
He continued: “Nigerians are being abducted and beheaded in their own country. For us, this is the worst it can be. We have never had it this bad.
“So when they say the President is winning the war against insecurity, we would like them to provide an evidence-based response devoid of falsehood and propaganda.
“It will interest Nigerians to know that when PDP handed over power to the APC in 2015, no local government was under the control of Boko Haram. Our government succeeded in chasing the terrorists to the fringes of Sambisa forest and was on the verge of pushing them out completely when we handed over.
“Today, every part of the country is under threat of men who behead for fun; a novelty hitherto unheard of in our country. So if they say they are winning the war, help us ask them this simple question: which war?”
