World Has Not Forgotten Abduction Of Chibok Schoolgirls – APC Reminds PDP

The All Progressives Congress APC has reminded the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PP) that the landmark abduction of 276 Chibok schoolgirls in 2014 and glaring negligence of then PDP administration is still fresh before the global community.

The party was reacting to statement credited to the opposition party on.
Saturday’s rescue of a kidnapped American citizen in Nigeria by U.S. Special Forces,in Nigeria which PDP saw as failure on the part of the administration.

However the APC said the effort to combat terrorism require international collaboration and synergy, declaring that President Mohammadu Buhari acted responsibly as Commander in Chief.

The ruling party wondered why PDP would want to play politics with national security issues reminding it of negligent manner it responded to the chibok girls saga.

“The PDP again chooses to play politics with our national security in its tired, baseless and dull attacks of the President Muhammadu Buhari government.

“The PDP should explain to Nigerians how its immediate-past administration handled the 2014 abduction of 276 Chibok schoolgirls.

“To refresh the PDP’s memory, former British prime minister, David Cameron in his book, For the Record, said the Goodluck Jonathan PDP government was “sleeping on the wheel” when the schoolgirls were abducted.

“It is on record that that PDP government did nothing for two weeks after the Chibok schoolgirls abductions dismissing it as a grand political conspiracy while the schoolgirls were continually held and their families suffered in anguish.

Till date, the party lament that ” PDP still refuses to take responsibility for the tragedy up till now, the same PDP government rejected the British offer to help in the rescue of the Chibok schoolgirls”.

According to the party “Combating terrorism and other emerging cross border crimes require international collaborations and assistance when necessary.

“As Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces, President Buhari swore a constitutional oath to protect lives and property of citizens.

“The president has consistently demonstrated that resolve throughout his administration. President Buhari’s reactions and actions after the similar and unfortunate Dapchi schoolgirls kidnapping is a pointer to how a responsive government should act”.
