PDP blasts Nyako over letter to Northern governors

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned Governor Murtala Nyako’s recent letter to the 19 Northern governors saying it is shocking that such a letter is coming from an elected official.

The PDP in statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh, said Governor Nyako should learn from other APC leaders who have started guiding their utterances.
“Governor Nyako must desist from such and learn from other APC leaders who are now comporting themselves better as a response to PDP statements which succeeded in exposing the link between their unguarded utterances and escalation of violence and insurgency in our nation”, the party said.
The PDP also charged all political figures across board to guard against making violence-instigating

statements and called on President Goodluck Jonathan and the 36 state governors to come up with a strong resolution to stop the trend of insecurity in the country.
The party also called on all Nigerians, especially respectable politicians to continue to unite against terrorism and tendencies that promote violence and are capable of dividing rather than uniting the nation.
“Our resolve is to join hands with responsible, respectable and patriotic Nigerians to highlight and promote our desire to live together in a strong, peaceful and united Nigeria. Our enemies are at the gate, but together we will keep them out as we continually watch our comments and utterances”, Metuh said.
