PDP Is A Disgrace For Televising A Political Event While Nigeria Mourns – APC

The All Progressives Congress, APC has come out to blast the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State for organizing a political event on a day of national mourning.

APC recently revealed this in a statement in Port Harcourt by its Spokesman, Chief Ogbonna Nwuke, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, it is a shame to see that despite the sad mood in the country currently, Governor Nyesom Wike allowed his team to engage in aimless and senseless politicking.

He added that the decision to televise such an event is a huge disrespect for Nigeria’s fallen heroes who were buried the same day.

His words, “The APC would have overlooked the charade which took place in the Rivers capital; an event which was broadcast on television; if the Wike administration did not create the impression, through a senseless jamboree, that the Rivers people are insensitive.”

“We are truly shocked that Governor Nyesom Wike, a Head of Government who is a prime beneficiary of the effort that members of the Armed Forces are making to keep him and the good people of Rivers State safe, could go ahead with a pre-planned reception intended to receive a handful of “bread and butter” politicians.”

“Across the country, events planned for the weekend were shifted in order to enable Nigerians pay their last respect to our fallen heroes who died in an air crash in Kaduna.”

“While the nation mourned the death of its officers, Wike and his colleagues in Rivers State took to the rostrum to show that politics is a more important reflection than appreciating the grief of heartbroken Nigerians.”
