The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Plateau State has blamed the recent security unrest in the State on what it called the incompetence of the Ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, led federal governments.
The Main Opposition Party in the State, disclosed this while addressing Journalists in Jos, in response to an alleged accusation by the APC that PDP is responsible for the crisis in the State.
It would be recalled that the Ruling APC in Plateau State through it’s Chairman Enoch Fanmak, had on Sunday accused the PDP of sponsoring crisis in the state to gain political acceptance.
But the PDP in a swift reaction through the Publicity Secretary of the State Caretaker committee, Emmanuel Goar, expressed shock, disbelief, and consternation at the latest statement of the APC blaming the PDP for the tragic insecurity in the state.
Goar, a former Speaker of the State Assembly said the APC government has to turn Plateau citizens into daily mourners, widows, orphans, and displaced from their ancestral lands.

He described the APC as desperate power seekers made up of some of Nigeria’s most incompetent managers.
but we had not imagined they could go as far as gleefully dancing on the graves of the dead, and campaigning for votes among the badly wounded in hospitals following the unbelievable inhumane and series of unprovoked attacks on communities especially in the Northern and Central Senatorial Districts”.
“We find it anomalous that Mr. Governor, who was in a hurry to quickly weaken the state-grown security apparatus, the Operation Rainbow, will now be looking up to some security specialists in Abuja to give him direct control over their own forces, if he cannot manage operation Rainbow, how can he exercise direct control over the armed forces and other Federal security forces,”Goar said.
The PDP however said they are still pained by the misfortune that has befallen the good land of Plateau and indeed Nigeria Since APC rode to power on the back of frenzied.
