ABUJA-The leadership of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has commended the 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. WIKE AND FAYOSE The party
leadership, which had earlier visited State in 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) turned a blind eye to
the sufferings of the victims, underlines PDP’s commitment to the wellbeing of
all Nigerians in line with its ideology. National Publicity Secretary of the
party, 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. 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.”
