PDP Is Politicizing The Recent Stampede Tragedies – APC

The All Progressives Congress has come out to blast the Peoples Democratic Party for politicizing the recent stampedes that claimed many lives in Oyo State, Abuja and Anambra during food distribution events.

APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, it is so sad that during a time of national mourning, the PDP has decided to engage in what is clearly a callous political chicanery.

He added that Nigerians have not forgotten the tragic stampede during the Nigerian Immigration Service recruitment exercise at the Abuja stadium in 2014, under the PDP’s administration, which left many job seekers dead and scores injured.

His words, “Rather than genuinely commiserating with the victims and their families, the PDP has chosen to politicise the grief of the victims by blaming the stampedes on the APC-led administration of President Bola Tinubu.

The tragedies have united well-meaning Nigerians in mourning and sober reflection on how such incidents might have been avoided through better planning and organisation by all involved.

The PDP’s allegations only remind us of its sordid record of maladministration and utter incompetence in 2014. It is either mischievous or entirely out of touch with reality to suggest that the APC-led administration has not shown commitment to Nigerians’ welfare. Laughably, the PDP claimed that APC policies ruptured a ‘once-thriving economy.’

For years, successive PDP administrations operated a phantom economy riddled with complex distortions and suffocating corruption while deluding Nigerians into thinking that the economy was healthy. Changing course from the lies and deception of the PDP, the economy is now rebounding steadily as reforms continue to yield wholesome dividends.”

WOW.
