Democratic Party (PDP) has alerted that the fizzling All<br \/>\nProgressives Congress (APC) is responsible for the escalated violence,<br \/>\ninsurgent attack, bloodletting and worsened insecurity in our nation.<\/p>\n<p>According to a statement signed by Kola ologbondiyan &#8220;The PDP says the<br \/>\nAPC has been feeding fat and servicing its interests from the pains and<br \/>\nanguish of suffering Nigerians who daily face the agony of economic<br \/>\nrepression, death, and violent attacks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The party also alerts Nigerians to be wary of APC\u2019s renewed attacks and<br \/>\nbaseless allegations against the PDP and our leaders, including former<br \/>\nVice President Atiku Abubakar, all in the failed bid to divert public<br \/>\nattention from its atrocities against our country, including<br \/>\ncompromising our security architecture for selfish purposes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The PDP challenges the APC to respond to the reported allegation that<br \/>\nits administration terminated the nation&#8217;s counter-insurgency operations<br \/>\nto satisfy foreign interests, leading to escalated violent attacks and<br \/>\nbloodletting in various parts of the country, particularly in the north.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The APC should explain the assertion by international security expert,<br \/>\nEeben Barlow, who reportedly on international television, Aljazeera,<br \/>\ntold the world that our nation was successfully routing insurgents in<br \/>\nthe Northeast before the APC and its administration terminated the<br \/>\ncounter-insurgency operation to satisfy an alleged American interest<br \/>\nthat assisted it to manipulate its way to power.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is instructive to note that the APC had engaged an unwarranted<br \/>\nattack on the PDP and Atiku Abubakar as well as sponsoring negative<br \/>\ndivisive publications in the last few days in the bid to divert public<br \/>\nattention from this very grave issue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nigerians can now see why insurgents, marauders, and bandits, who had<br \/>\nbeen pushed to the fringes under the PDP administration suddenly<br \/>\nresurged in the renewed ravaging of communities and killing our<br \/>\ncompatriots unabated, while the\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0APC and its administration engage in<br \/>\nlip service and empty condolence messages.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nigerians are aware of how the APC imported political mercenaries,<br \/>\nthugs and miscreants from neighboring countries including the Niger<br \/>\nRepublic and used them to unleash violence on Nigerians during the 2019<br \/>\nPresidential elections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The APC has failed to account for these miscreants, most of who are now<br \/>\nunleashing violence as kidnappers, armed robbers, and marauders,<br \/>\npillaging our communities without restraint under the APC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is important to observe that the APC had failed to apologize or join<br \/>\nother well-meaning Nigerians in forcefully demanding for the arrest and<br \/>\nprosecution of perpetrators of the mass killings in Benue, Borno,<br \/>\nPlateau, Taraba, Kogi, Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Katsina, Yobe, Adamawa,<br \/>\nEkiti, Ebonyi, Abia, Nasarawa, Niger and other parts of the country,<br \/>\nunder its watch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Only recently, Edo state Governor Godwin Obaseki accused the APC<br \/>\nNational Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, of always relying on thugs for<br \/>\nelections and Nigerians know the devastation thuggery and its associated<br \/>\nviolence had caused the nation in the last five years of the APC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Moreover, instead of clinging on straws by attacking the PDP and Atiku<br \/>\nAbubakar, the APC should account for or demand investigation and<br \/>\nprosecution of its leaders responsible for the looting of over N14<br \/>\ntrillion from federal coffers, including the stolen N9 trillion exposed<br \/>\nby the leaked NNPC memo on oil subsidy theft.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The APC should also account for the N1.1 trillion worth of crude<br \/>\nsiphoned by its leaders using 18 unregistered vessels, the stealing of<br \/>\nover N48 billion meant for the rehabilitation of victims of insurgency.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It should account for the N33bn National Emergency Management Agency<br \/>\n(NEMA) saga in which a very top member of President Muhammadu Buhari<br \/>\nadministration was mentioned as well as the looting spree in National<br \/>\nHealth Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and the Federal Inland Revenue Service<br \/>\n(FIRS)under its watch, after which it should head for the dustbin of<br \/>\nhistory where it now belongs.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer
