Meanwhile, the aftermath of the gruesome murder of some churchgoers on Sunday in Ondo State wanes on, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have again blasted the silence of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday’s gruesome terrorist attack and killing of innocent worshippers at St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State, while reiterating its stand on the ruling party’s complicity in the terrorist attack across the country.
PDP also berated President Muhammadu Buhari for what it described as a lame and disconnected press statement.
The opposition party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, Monday, said the statement by the presidency did not demonstrate any Presidential empathy, concern, assurances, and commitment expected of a Commander in Chief.
PDP also described the statement as feeble and insensitive, adding that “the statement by the Presidency is a further confirmation of the tacit sympathy for terrorism by the APC administration”.
