Seized $5.7million: APC Conniving With ‘Foreign Interests’ To Ridicule Nigeria – PDP

Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says its attention has been drawn to
a statement by the All Progressives Congress, APC, wherein
the opposition party again embarrassed itself on issues
regarding the genuine efforts by the Federal Government to
tackle the security challenges bedeviling the country.
The ruling party in a
statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa
Metuh, in Abuja on Tuesday, said it was solidly behind
President Goodluck Jonathan in the steps he is taking to
ensure the safety of Nigerians and defend the nation's
sovereignty, especially in the wake of what it called APC's
"connivance with foreign interests to embarrass the
government and people of Nigeria".
The statement stated "categorically that the actions
preferred by some foreign nations against our dear country
as we seek solution to our security challenges are
unacceptable and totally uncalled for, especially given our
cordial relationship with them and the roles Nigeria and
Nigerians citizens played in assisting them in their internal
struggles.
"Given the rush with which the APC attacked the presidency,
it is clear that they are working hand in glove with foreign
interests in a concerted effort to tarnish the image of our
dear nation, ridicule our government and frustrate genuine
efforts towards ending the insecurity challenges we face as
a nation.
"Any responsible opposition which has the interest and
welfare of the people at heart as the APC claims would
concentrate on proffering solution to the problems of the
nation instead of seeking political capital at all times.
Instead, we have an opposition that has been conniving
with foreign interests to destroy the image and unity of
their own country as a means to achieve political control.

"The APC is aptly likened to a quarrelsome wife, who daily
goes to the market place to discuss her marital problems.
We ask, does such a woman seek the unity or disintegration
of her home? In the same vein Nigerians wonder if the APC
is really interested in the unity and corporate existence of
our nation. Are they trying to destroy our country as a
means to achieve political control through the back door?
"The APC must come to terms with the fact that Nigeria as
an indivisible nation has come to stay. They must know that
Nigerians are resolute in their determination to live
together as one people.

"Our final response is that the PDP and indeed Nigerians of
good faith are solidly behind President Jonathan and no
amount of blackmail or connivance with foreign interests
will deter or detract the PDP-led administration from the
resolve to find a permanent solution.
