THE All Progressives Congress (APC) in Borno State has described National Spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kola Ologbondiyan, as shameless and lacking wisdom following his statement on the police protest in Maiduguri.
A statement by the chairman, Ali Bukar Dalori, said he was shocked that despite Kola’s experience as a journalist, he “lacked the wisdom and patriotism of journalists”.
He said: “Nigerian journalists are known to be wise, smart and with some level of patriotism, no matter what their interests are. I am shocked that a senior journalist like the PDP’s national spokesman lacks basic wisdom. I think his quick statement in trying to politicise alleged protests by policemen over unpaid allowances in Borno State presented him as unwise and shameless because I have never read a single statement he authored or seen him speak anywhere sharing our pains over unfortunate attacks by Boko Haram against Borno people.
“I have not seen him or any member of his party offer any support to displaced persons, including those needy ones in Abuja. I have never seen him write anything to encourage the military or the police for their success over Boko Haram.
“His statement shows that the PDP is politically rejoicing at a time other sensible Nigerians are having concerns on the implications for the security of our people…”
