Kaduna APC accuses Yero of inciting violence

The All Progressives Congress in Kaduna State has accused Governor Mukhtar Yero-led administration in the state of preparing the ground for crisis ahead of the March 28 and April 11 rescheduled elections.

Spokesman for the APC Campaign Council in the state, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, at a media briefing in Kaduna on Tuesday, said those championing hatred and disaffection in the state were those in government.

He noted that the government was not interested in ensuring peace, pointing out that the government was only paying lip services to ensuring peace in the state.

Aruwan, who is from the southern part of the state, reminded the people of the area(Southern Kaduna) not to fall into the antics of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, which he accused of using and dumping of the areas over the years.

According to the spokesman, rather than focus on issues, the PDP has engaged in inciting people to violence.

He said the government had continued to heighten religious and ethnic tensions in the state ahead of the elections.

He said, As a movement of the people, the APC is resolutely committed to free, fair and credible elections, held in an atmosphere of peace.

In our campaigns, whether at rallies or in the media, the APC has focused on the issues. The response from the PDP has ranged from serial incitement to violence to the actual and practice of violence.

The PDP government of Kaduna State is actively stoking religious and ethnic tensions. Along with its affiliates and supporters, the PDP has been trying to whip up religious resentment.

Meanwhile, the APC might have been denied the use of the Murtala Mohammed Square, Kaduna, to hold its North-West zonal rally ahead of the rescheduled March 28 and April 11 general elections.
