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 sup­
porters.
‘’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.
