ACN Air Mishap:PDP rejects Sabotage theory
The PDP Presidential Campaign Council has described as absurd
the statement by ACN
spokesman yesterday alleging sabotage
over the air mishap in
Bauchi on Tuesday.In the mishap,Fola Adeola and others narrowly
escaped death as their plane
crash landed.No life was lost.
The PCC in
statement by Abba Dabo today expressed ‘it's heartfelt sympathy
with the
Action Congress
of
Nigeria
(ACN) over the unfortunate air mishap involving some top level
members of their Presidential Campaign team.’.But the council
said ‘however, we find the statement credited to the
spokesperson of the ACN alleging sabotage as absurd and indeed
worrisome. This same Party has formed the habit of blaming the
PDP for all their misfortunes. These unfounded allegations range
from such issues as denial of campaign permits, plane mishaps
and even alleged assassination attempts. It is our sincere
belief that even in the midst of a fierce political scramble for
power, there should be a limit to political interpretation of
sensitive matters.’
Read the full text of the PDP statement below:
The PDP Presidential Campaign Council wishes to express it's
heartfelt sympathy with the
Action Congress
of
Nigeria
(ACN) over the unfortunate air mishap involving some top level
members of their Presidential Campaign team.
We join the ACN in thanking God that no life was lost in the
incident and pray that no Nigerian experiences such a sense of
panic and anxiety in our airspace again.
However, we find the statement credited to the spokesperson of
the ACN alleging sabotage as absurd and indeed worrisome. This
same Party has formed the habit of blaming the PDP for all their
misfortunes. These unfounded allegations range from such issues
as denial of campaign permits, plane mishaps and even alleged
assassination attempts. It is our sincere belief that even in
the midst of a fierce political scramble for power, there should
be a limit to political interpretation of sensitive matters.
This strategy of blaming PDP for all their woes is a further
confirmation that their campaigns lack issues or direction. And
that they have seen the handwriting on the walls, about their
impending electoral defeat.
We find the
blame game
espoused by the ACN statement as unjustified and in extreme bad
taste. We call on
Nigerians
to disregard these malicious and libelous insinuations.
President Goodluck Jonathan
has given his pledge to run a decent, lawful and decorous
campaign, where issues are discussed and debated for the
transformation of Nigeria.
We urge the nation's aviation officials to do everything
necessary to prevent any such incident in future.
