Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has warned the

ruling party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against

pointing accusing fingers at APC as a means of diverting

the attention of Nigerians from bad governance.

Atiku made this warning on Sunday in a statement in Abuja

while reacting to a report in a weekly paper which alleges

that a former Russian spy had linked the All Progressives

Congress to terrorists and extremists.

The former Vice President said that these sponsored

allegations by the PDP administration would not help the

country while stating no responsible government should

seek to create division, suspicion and animosity among its

citizens by linking the opposition leaders with terrorist

activities or accusing them of harbouring extremists.

According to Atiku, the PDP has officially and publicly,

through its National Publicity Secretary, labelled APC the

"Islamic Brotherhood Party of Nigeria" and the "Janjaweed

Party."

These nomenclatures, he said, were borrowed from abroad

and did not, in any way or form, existed in Nigeria.

He said the latest publication about a so-called former

Russian spy was a continuation of the PDP campaign of

calumny against the opposition party and its leaders in

order to divert attention from the epic failures of the ruling

party to deliver the goods.
