PDP Wants To Benefit From Herdsmen, Other Killings, We Will Stop Them – FG by deantimes(m): 9:58pm On Jan 07, 2018
THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wants to benefit from series of tragedies bedeviling the nation, the federal government has said.

Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo stated this on Sunday while cautioning against the politicization of violence particularly that of the Herdsmen and other killings across the country.

He spoke at the Inter-denominational church service for the 2018 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration, held at the National Christian Center, Abuja.

Though no name was mentioned, HEADLINE understand he was referring to the opposition PDP given the fact that the party had been at loggerheads with the government of the day.

The opposition party had described the recent massacres in Benue, Rivers, Kaduna and other states as extremely wicked and horrifying while commiserating with the families of the victims.

It asked the presidency and the ruling All Progressives Congress to search their conscience over the tragedies.

The opposition party said the APC and the Presidency reacted to the incidents only after the PDP and well-meaning Nigerians took them to task.

“The height of insensitivity of the APC Presidency became glaring in its reaction, wherein a media aide issued some apathetic and indifferent lines without any precise commitment towards bringing the perpetrators to book and assurances of adequate security to forestall a reoccurrence,” the PDP said in the statement.

It called on the Presidency to have some soul-searching with regard to its silence and indifference whenever citizens fall under horrifying attacks.

Reacting, Osinbajo stated that it was the obligation of the government to defend the unity and territorial integrity of Nigeria by words and action.

He said, “We have seen even recently the killings that has resulted in attacks of herdsmen on farmers and communities and also where communities have attacked herdsmen.

“The state of violence and loss of lives in Rivers State, the Badoo killings in Lagos and Ogun, the President has ordered the police and armed forces to deal decisively with these killings to ensure that the perpetrators are found and punished. He has also through various strategic meetings task security agencies to work to find lasting solutions to these issues.

“But we recognized that as dangerous and heartless as these killings are, it is also dangerous to allow politics to play a part and to sometimes as they say pour petrol into already burning fire.

“We must not permit the politicization of this tragedy. One of the reasons why for years Boko Haram strife was because of the politicization of the insurgency. They were those who were planning to benefit politically from the tragedy and they painted the opposition then as the perpetrator.

“Again we have seen some today who want to benefit politically from the killing of women and children in Adamawa, Benue, Jos and several other places, stoking the embers of ethnicity and religion. By their hate speeches they want to fix their criminal acts of a few individuals on the whole tribe and a whole people and will want to create religious crisis if we allow.

“Our obligation is to stop them from playing dangerous politics that could threatened our unity and stability, just as we continue to enforce the peace in the troubled area.”

Talking like a child. If indeed PDP is behind it then i have to ask who is ruling the country whether it's PDP or APC because i believe that the ruling party has an upper hand in curbing this crime because they are in power... Don't blame other people for your failure. You should also blame them for the current price of fuel, blame PDP for the price of one bag of rice, blame PDP for the price of transport fare... And i even thought osinbajo was wise.. Mtcheew.

Karma is indeed a bitch.
I challenge all Buhari ass lickers,APC supporters then and we desperate to see GEJ leave the scene to swear before a true God that many didn't rejoice anytime and everytime BH carried out series of successive raids and killings while GEJ was still in charge.
Osinbajo should just hide in his cubicle because PDP is just trying to use the same weapon of sorrow APC used in whipping up sentiments to oust GEJ.

The Presidency and Apc should stop the herdsmen killings, instead of playing to the gallery of stopping Pdp, or what do they expect Pdp to do, CLAP for them over the herdsmen progrom and ethnic cleansing?

The question is, is he really a pastor? What pastor would be so comfortable to work with immoral, corrupt and cultists in the APC? What pastor would see a clear propaganda and support it? Osinbajo may have a great personality but he ain't no pastor.

Osinbajo,you are disappointing people daily.

A Pastor and Professor,what do you stand to lose in this administration?
A VP seat that will in no way diminish your standing....
You have continue to go off point for some time now,anytime they want a spokesperson for rubbish,they send you.
They no longer send Lai Mohammed,it's now you and Femi Adeshina with reckless abandon and stupidity.....Your morality cannot remain intact,because the truth and foresightedness is far away from you at this stage.
Sorry

The problem with APC is that they are so desperate to hang on to power that they use all manner of annoying propaganda to defend themselves and leave to address the same burning issues that may give the opposition upper hand. What you should do now is ignore the opposition's criticisms and swiftly arrest the situation. It's in performance that you can secure your second term, not in your defensive propaganda and official terrorism.
