described PDP's national spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan as shameless and
lacking wisdom because whereas he has never issued statement to share
the pains of Borno people over series of deaths, he was very quick to
release statement politicizing reports of alleged protest by
policemen.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary had in the statement described
the alleged protest by police officers on duty in Borno State, over
unpaid allowances as "unfortunate and an ugly epitaph of the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration."
But reacting, state chairman of the APC, Ali Bukar Dalori, in a
statement expressed anger that the PDP spokesman issued the statement
at a time sensible Nigerians were more concerned about potential
implications for the security of Borno people.
He expressed shock that despite Ologbondiyan's previous years of
practicing journalism, he was bereft of the wisdom and patriotism
which Nigerian journalists were known for.
"Nigerian journalists are known to be wise, smart and with some level
of patriotism no matter what their interests are. I am shocked that a
senior journalist like the PDP's national spokesman lacks basic
wisdom. I think his quick statement in trying to politicise alleged
protests by policemen over unpaid allowances in Borno State presented
him as unwise and shameless because I have never read a single
statement he authored or seen him speak anywhere sharing our pains
over unfortunate attacks by Boko Haram against Borno people.
"I have also not seen him or any member of his party trying to offer
any support to displaced persons including those needy ones in Abuja.
I have never seen him write anything to encourage the military or the
police over many successes they recorded in the fight against Boko
Haram.
"His statement shows that the PDP is politically rejoicing at a time
other sensible Nigerians are having concerns on the implications for
the security of our people. The statement also showed that PDP's only
concern and ultimate wish is not for Nigeria to become safe and
prosperous but for President Buhari's fight against Boko Haram to get
distracted.
"The party's statement showed that the PDP doesn't care about it's
very few members that are based in Borno State. That statement by the
PDP is a big shame and it showed political naivety on the part of the
party's spokesman at the national level," Dalori said in his
statement.
