PDP sponsors attacks on president in the North –APC

The All Progres­sives Congress (APC) has point­edly accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of spon­soring the attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan in Katsina and Bauchi as part of its devilish plan to de­monize the opposition and force a postpone­ment of next month’s general elections.

In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by its Na­tional Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the coordinated hysterical reactions to the attacks by the presidency, Senate President David Mark and the leadership of the Ijaw nation have ex­posed the sponsors of the attacks.

It said those who went into a frenzy in condemn­ing the attacks should di­rect their anger at the PDP, which hired the hoodlums who attacked the President in Katsina and Bauchi and gave them brooms to make them look like APC sup­porters.

‘’Information is now in the public domain that these attacks were self-inflicted, with the aim of demoniz­ing the APC and instigat­ing retaliatory attacks in the southern states, thus precipitating chaos which the PDP and the Presidency will then use as an excuse for the postponement of the elections.
