Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike and his Ekiti State counterpart, Ayo
Fayose, for visiting Benue state and extending assistance to victims
of the recent violent attacks and other internally displaced persons
in the state.
The party leadership, which had earlier visited Benue at the wake of
the attacks, said the gesture by the two governors at a time the
Presidency and governors elected on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) have been turning a blind eye to the
sufferings of the victims, underlines PDP's commitment to the
wellbeing of all Nigerians in line with its undying ideology and
vision of its founding fathers.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on
Thursday, said "it is disheartening that the Presidency had refused to
visit Benue state recalling that when the APC governors visited, after
much entreaties, they failed to show any form of empathy to the
victims, a stance which further displayed APC's disdain for
Nigerians."
The party said that "instead of APC empathizing with the people and
ensuring that perpetrators of the attacks were brought to book, the
party leaders have shown more concern for their selfish political
interests across the nation."
The PDP urged the people of Benue state to be vigilant and continue to
work with their leaders, while assuring of its support always.
