APC hails suspension of Adamawa PDP rally

The All Progressives Congress has hailed the reported suspensionof the PDP rally scheduled for Adamawa State on Tuesday, in line withthe prevailing mood of the nation, especially the abduction of over200 school children in Borno State.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by its Interim NationalPublicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party called thesuspension the very right decision to take under the circumstance.

It said the suspension of the rally has shown that President GoodluckJonathan is beginning to hearken to the voices of his compatriots onimportant national issues.

As we said in a statement we issued on April 24, it smacks ofinsensitivity, inhumanity and indecency for our President and otherleaders to be engaged in any celebratory venture when we do not yetknow the fate of the school girls who were abducted from their schooland taken to an unknown destination.

We also said the President should not repeat the same mistake hemade by flying to Kano to dance at a political rally even as the smokewas yet to clear from the scene of the Nyanya bus park bombing. We are delighted that good sense has prevailed this time, it said.

The party said while the President does not have to shut down thegovernment, he must continue to shun all celebratory public outingsuntil all the school girls have been safely reunited with their families.
