The All Progressives Congress (APC), in Plateau State, have accused the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the instigating people against one another over the last killing of person in the state.
The APC accused the PDP, on Sunday, at a press conference held at the NUJ Secretariat in Jos.
State acting Caretaker Chairman of the APC Hon. Enoch Fanmak Ramnan, while condemning the killings, further alleged that the PDP sponsored miscreants that moved some corpses out of the Plateau Specialist Hospital to the State Assembly and then to the Government House to paint the governor instigate people and the governor in a bad light.
According to the chairman, the PDP was orchestrating the violence to destroy the image of the governor and the six years of peaceful co-existence enjoyed in the state to achieve its political relevance.
“We have noted their unacceptable utterances and inciting comments on both the traditional and social media which are carefully targeted at discrediting the Governor of Plateau State Rt. Hon. (Dr) Simon Bako Lalong and portraying the Government as uncaring, with the hope of reviving their faded glory as a rejected political party in the State and country at large.
“We have a lot of evidence to prove this claim, but we can site a few to expose to the people of Plateau State and Nigerians the hidden agenda of the PDP to use crises and the lives of innocent people as a bargaining chip for political relevance. We will not allow this futile dream to come true.
“After the recent unfortunate attack on Yelwa Zangam village, the corpses of those gripping evacuated to the Plateau Specialist Hospital for proper handling.
“However, the members of the party and their cohorts forced their way into the hospital, harassed and intimidated the hospital staff, and forcefully took away the corpses for a roadshow just to score cheap political points.
“This is a sacrilege against the culture and traditions of the land as well as the height of dishonor for the dead.
” Unfortunately, they failed to achieve their aim beyond gripping headlines and showing how inhuman they can be even to the dead,” he said.
However, the PDP, has debunked the allegations
In his reaction to the saying it wasn’t true.
The PDP State Publicity Secretary John Akan, said, “that is not true. How can we invite people?
“How can we play with the lives of people because of politics? It is all about facts on the ground.
“The APC is confused. Anybody speaking from that direction is confused.
” It clearly shows that the corpses of people are there. So, our position is far from incitement,” he said.
