The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Tuesday said its attention has been drawn to a statement by the All Progressives Congress, APC, wherein “it again embarrassed itself on issues regarding the genuine efforts by the Federal Government to tackle the security challenges facing the nation.”

Olisa Metuh, PDP National Publicity Secretary, in a statement said party members were solidly behind President Goodluck Jonathan in the steps he is taking to ensure the safety of citizens and defend the country’s sovereignty as a nation, especially in the light of APC connivance with foreign interests to embarrass the government and people of Nigeria.

The statement decried recent actions preferred by some foreign nations against the country, describing it as unacceptable and totally uncalled for, “especially given cordial relationship with them and the roles Nigeria and Nigerians citizens played in assisting them in their internal struggles.”

It reads further: “Given the rush with which the APC attacked the presidency, it is clear that they are working hand in glove with foreign interests in a concerted effort to tarnish the image of our dear nation, ridicule our government and frustrate genuine efforts towards ending the insecurity challenges we face as a nation.
