Bauchi Governor Vindicates Us, ConfirmsAttack On Jonathan Orchestrated By PDPMembers -APC

By Ayo Balogun, Lagos – The opposition All
Progressives Congress (APC) has quoted Bauchi
State Governor, Isa Yuguda as absolving it from
guilt on the last week attack on President
Goodluck Jonathan campaign, rather by some
ruling PDP members within and outside the State.
It has therefore called on the Inspector-General of
Police to urgently institute a probe into the
controversial attack.
APC made the revelation in a statement issued
Monday in Lagos, by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
”The excitable and garrulous Femi Fani-Kayode
rushed to the press to condemn the APC, in his
usual skittish self, without taking the pains to
know what Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State
and a top official of his party, the PDP, said about
the attack.
That action is what is ‘absurd, reckless and
asinine’. ”Since he will rather learn about the
happenings in his party from outsiders, we will
like to quote what Gov. Yuguda said on the
Hausa Service of the BBC and reported by Daily
Trust and other media outlets on Sunday: ‘I am
sure and let the world know that the people who
did this thing were PDP members and those
politicians in Abuja were the ones behind it; they
were not APC members. They found these youths
on the road and gave them brooms and they
instructed them that when the President was
passing they should raise the brooms and pelt
them at him’,” APC revealed.
It therefore insisted: ”We stand by our earlier
statement in which we pointedly accused the PDP
of sponsoring the attacks on President Jonathan
in Katsina and Bauchi as part of its devilish plan
to demonize the opposition and force a
postponement of next month’s general elections,
and we are glad we have been proved right”.
APC stated it was now apparent that the PDP
Presidential Campaign Organization was out of
tune with developments within its fold, hence, its
spokesman considered the its statement, that the
onslaught was orchestrated by the PDP, as
‘absurd and reckless’, without a shred of evidence
to support its specious argument.
In the meantime, the opposition expressed hope
that Fani-Kayode would allow himself a rare
moment of sobriety by admitting that he goofed
terribly in pitching a wrong position, and then
follow up with a public apology to Nigerians for
misleading them.
