APC Hails Suspension Of PDP Rally In Adamawa

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has hailed the reported suspension of the PDP rally scheduled for Adamawa State today, in line with the prevailing mood of the nation. In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by its interim national publicity secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the suspension was the right decision at this critical time. It said the suspension of the rally has shown that President Goodluck Jonathan is beginning to hearken to the voices of his compatriots on important national issues. The APC said, “As we said in a statement we issued on April 24, it smacks of insensitivity, inhumanity and indecency for our president and other leaders to be engaged in any celebratory venture when we do not yet know the fate of the school girls who were abducted from their school and taken to an unknown destination. “We also said the president should not repeat the same mistake he made by flying to Kano to dance at a political rally even as
the smoke was yet to clear from the scene of the Nyanya motor park bombing. We are delighted that good sense has prevailed this time,’’ APC said. The party said while the President does not have to shut down the government, he must continue to shun all celebratory public outings until all the school girls have been safely reunited with their families.
