Can you imagine! So APC can reduce the sanctity of human life to a killing competition? With a nation still grieving over lives lost from their connivance & gross cluelessness of governance?
APC government is full of shitcraps.Nigerians please lets arise against these idiots.Lets let them know that Nigerians own Nigeria.The government is just callous, evil and satanic to do this shit.

silastemplar:
he took his time to explain the reason for his statement but no you probably didn't read that far or you just ddnt get it

PHILipu1:
The truth is always bitter.
Those shouting that Buhari should resign now were deaf,dumb and blind those days that all this were going on..

Edubbs:
if that is what you deduced from his statement then your IQ is quite low for an adult human.

THE Presidency has accused the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of shedding crocodile tears by declaring a mourning period for people killed in Plateau state, saying that even though more people were killed under the former ruling party, it never declared a mourning period.

A statement issued by Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in Abuja on Thursday, gave a list of killings under PDP which it said the party never mourned.

The statement said that it was sad and unfortunate killings in Plateau state over the weekend have been turned to an opportunity to once again play irresponsible politics, particularly by the PDP.

The PDP had on Wednesday declared seven days of mourning during which it said flags in its office will fly at half mast.

The presidency stated: “These are dolorous times that call for deep introspection on how cheap human lives have become, and the proffering of actionable ideas on how to get out of the bind. But the PDP would rather dance on the graves of the dead, playing cheap, infantile politics.

“The comatose and prostrate party is declaring seven days of mourning, during which flags in its offices would be flown at half-mast nationwide. But unknown to the party, those flags had been forcefully lowered since its 2015 loss at the polls and may remain so for a long time to come, because Nigerians are politically discerning, and cannot be hoodwinked by cheap antics.

“A quick checklist of some savage and brutal killings in Nigeria during PDP rule, between 1999 and 2015, for which no national mourning was declared:

“November 20, 1999. Odi, in Bayelsa State, was invaded on orders of a PDP President. About 2,500 people killed. No national mourning.

“Between February and May 2000, about 5,000 people were killed during riots over Sharia law in different parts of the North. No national mourning.

“In 2001, hundreds of people, including the old, infirm, women and children were killed in Zaki Biam. No crocodile tears.

“Between September 7-12, 2001, Jos, Plateau State, erupted in internecine killings. Between 500 and 1,000 people were killed. Flags were not flown at half mast.

“In February 2004, at least 975 people were killed in Yelwa-Shendam, Plateau State. No mourning by the then ruling PDP.

“Between November 28 and 29, 2008, Jos was in flames again, with 381 deaths. No mourning.

“In 2010, 992 people killed in Jos. Mum was the word.

“In 2014 alone, according to Global Terrorism Index, at least 1,229 people were killed in the Middle Belt. No mourning.

“Boko Haram killings in PDP years were over 10,000. PDP flags were still fluttering proudly in the sky.

“Those who take pleasure in twisting statements from the Presidency may claim we are saying that many more people were killed under PDP than under President Muhammadu Buhari. It would be unconscionable to do so. The intendment of this statement is to show that wanton killings had been with us for awhile; this government is working towards enduring solutions; and should be given the opportunity to do so.

“Even a single soul is precious, and no man should take a life, which he cannot create. But when tragic situations as had happened in Plateau State occur, such should never be used to play crude politics. Those who are wont to do so should have change of hearts, or lose their very humanity.”

What has the killings during PDP got to do with the killings in Plateau, is the job of this administration to compare number of deaths or to tackle the issues head on, which is the reason for voting them in.

This administration is just a bunch of ......

zomoears:



Taaah! Who is this?
Why was PDP voted out? So that APC can come and outdo them negatively?

This is most irresponsible of Femi, and shows the insensitivity of this Buhari govt to the plight of the people, who voted for APC and hoped for better days.

Why not benchmark their govt against positives?

Kai! Buhari. Wayo! Buhari.

This is why the youths in Nigeria will never have any modicum if Intelligence in proper analysis.

Adesina never supported the killings, neither did he do a comparison per se.

He was simply showing the hypocrisy of PDP as they began to play politics with these present killings when they never showed any sign of compassion or pain during their era.

Suddenly they have now developed compassion out of nowhere.

Killings in Nigeria have always been there even from the days before obasanjo and it simply shows the levels intolerance has gotten to in our society. We no longer identify as one Nigeria but as different people or locations in Nigeria. We play ethnic politics and do not share or develop national ideals. We do not even play locational politics but strictly ethnic inclined. That is not democracy.

Those of you who cannot see beyond your ethnic hatred towards this administration are also a major part of the problems this nation has which is why a lot of you instead of critically considering what adesina is passing across you rather see from your bigoted lenses and nothing more.

By the way I am Yoruba and do not play ethnic games. If you have good to offer regardless of where you are from in Nigeria then offer it. I think its high time we all stopped this ethnicity nonsense and began living as one people and one nation. We have had enough bigotery as a nation to last many centuries.

We all need to consciously stop the collective rape of our compassion and strength in diversity we always employ on social media. Its sad to see .

maestroferdi:
This APC must be a party of demons.

RuthlessLeader:
Just when you think you had heard it all they bombard you with more.

Some very stupid people(gavelslam sirjamo neoteny) will tell us how jonathan is patron of miyetti allah and supplying boko haram and we didn't complain

But they will not answer you on why buhari has not arrested jonathan or why miyetti allah leader is still free.

Incompetent fools

You are so senseless with this comment. You and your kind with your attitudes are part of the problems Nigeria has. Ethnic bigotry .

See hypocrites now! .AI,TI,Thomson Reuters Foundation,Brookling Institute and other organizations have released damning reports about the deplorable indices of life in Nigeria in recent times but the they deny them as untrue.

In their inordinate quest to justify the insensitivity & incompetence @ governance,Adeshina end up exposing the double nature of this propaganda government.
