Abuja bomb blast: PDP accuses APC of culpability

Scene of the blast.


The Peoples Democratic Party on Monday accused the opposition All Progressives Party of culpability in the bomb blast which killed over 70 people in Nyanya, Abuja, on Monday.
While condemning the act which it described as barbaric, monstrous and extremely wicked, the PDP said the attacks were politically motivated.
National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, said this in a statement, in Abuja.
The statement partly read, “The PDP weeps. We are indeed grief-stricken. Our hearts go out to the bereaved, especially those who have been orphaned and widowed and those now deprived of their bread winners by this evil act. We share in their pain, their anguish and their loss and pray that those behind their grief must not escape justice.”
Metuh said the attacks could not be justified under any guise adding that it was the handiwork of an opposition desperate to undermine and discredit the present administration and make the nation ungovernable for President Goodluck Jonathan.
