The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has blamed what it said was the escalating violence, insurgent attacks, bloodletting and worsening insecurity in the nation on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). “Nigerians are aware of how the APC imported political mercenaries, thugs and miscreants from neighbouring countries including the Niger Republic and used them to unleash violence on Nigerians during the 2019 Presidential elections. “The APC has failed to account for these miscreants, most of who are now unleashing violence as kidnappers, armed robbers and marauders, pillaging our communities without restraint under the APC. “Only recently, Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki accused the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, of always relying on thugs for elections and Nigerians know the devastation thuggery and its associated violence had caused the nation in the last five years of the APC. “The APC should also account for the N1.1 trillion worth of crude siphoned by its leaders using 18 unregistered vessels, the stealing of over N48 billion meant for the rehabilitation of victims of insurgency.
