Nigeria: APC to PDP – Make Public Our Complicity in Boko Haram Insurgency

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dared the PDP to urgently make available to the Nigerian public any evidence of the opposition's alleged involvement in the ongoing Boko Haram insurgency or forever shut up

"We have absolutely no hand in this insurgency, and we dare anyone with contrary information to publish such today. It is trite that he who alleges must prove," the party said in a statement issued in Lagos on Friday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

It said that In the absence of any evidence, Nigerians will have no choice but to conclude that the relentless finger-pointing by the PDP/Presidency is a ploy to divert attention from those who are actually behind this insurgency, those who see it as a trump card to 2015 and those who have been benefitting massively from the huge funds being allocated to security.

APC said the latest accusation by the PDP is being made within the framework of its plan to frame up the opposition and clamp down on its leaders ahead of the 2015 general elections, having realized that it (PDP) cannot possibly win the 2015 elections due to its appalling record of failure.

"Otherwise, how can the PDP-led federal government claim to have 'evidence of meetings held outside the shores of the country' to violently overthrow the government of President Jonathan, and yet refuse to make such evidence public or arrest and try those involved? Or is it only the riotous spokesman of the ruling party who has the evidence?" the party queried.
