APC flays President for supporting warlords
The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation on Wednesday chided President Goodluck Jonathan for his alleged alliance with ethnic warlords.
It said it was disappointed that the President was aligning with individuals and groups who had been threatening to tear the country apart in case he (Jonathan) failed at the February 14 presidential polls.
The campaign organisation was reacting to a meeting held between the Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Kingsley Kuku and ex-militant leaders in Yenagoa last week.
APCPCOs reaction was contained in a statement signed by the Director of Media and Publicity of the campaign, Garba Sheu in Abuja.
The APC campaign noted that, this unholy alliance by the President with elements that served notice of their diabolical intention to foment trouble is in negation to the oath of allegiance sworn to over five years ago by the President to maintain the territorial integrity and indivisible Nigeria.
Condoning treasonable statements and gross indiscipline by some elements of his kinsmen is a breach of the presidential oath to protect all Nigerians and a sheer display of double standard and selective justice.
How can the President feign ignorance of the war plots and calls to arms in Bayelsa State Government House in Yenagoa, supervised by a PDP Governor, Seriake Dickson, and the Presidential Special Adviser on Amnesty Programme, Kingsley Kuku, with majority of Niger Delta ex-militant kinsmen.
The campaign pointed out that it was curious that the President was quick to condemn MEND for allegedly supporting the opposition candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.
This, the party said, was the same government which was casting aspersions on Dr. Stephen Davis the hoax Federal Government-hired Australian negotiator with the Boko Haram; and bad-mouthing his critics especially a former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.
Shehu said it was shocking that the President had refused to caution tribal war-mongers such as Kuku and his cohorts Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, Boy Loaf and others.
