Stop Blaming Us For Your Woes - PDP to APC

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress to face the business of governance and stop pushing over its administration’s shortcomings to others.

The opposition party said almost one year after it has been handed over the affairs of the country, APC ought to have been able to chart its own course and stop blaming PDP for its administrative lapses, The National Chairman of the party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff said.

President Muhammadu Buhari had on Monday said Nigerians should hold the PDP’s 16-year reign responsible for the nation’s prevailing economic woes and said the party failed to save for the rainy day. Also following the lingering fuel scarcity that has continued to ravage the nation, the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, asked Nigerians to hold the PDP, responsible.

However, speaking at the inauguration of four special committees for the forthcoming National Convention of the party, PDP National Chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, expressed dismay that almost one year since the government the was handed over to the APC, the party is still blaming PDP for current fuel scarcity in the country.

“The leadership of the party share the pains of Nigerians after one year in office of the All Progressives Congress-led government. Nigerians now have the opportunity of comparing the PDP and also the APC. The ultimate judge of this exercise are Nigerians.

“Instead of the APC addressing the problems of the country, the ruling party has kept blaming the PDP for lack of petrol in the country. I saw the other day a publication by one of the leaders of the APC that we are responsible for lack of petrol after their one year in office.

“I would like to advise the leaders of the APC to stop blaming us in the PDP, we are now in the opposition party, repositioning our party to show Nigerians that we could do better.”

I Have Killed, Buried 7 Tricycle Riders Man Confesses(Photo)

The police in Enugu State have nabbed a two-man gang suspected to be behind the recent missing and serial killing of tricycle riders in the state whose bodies were exhumed from an uncompleted church at Ugwuaji along the Enugu Port-Harcourt road.

The reported disappearance of three tricycle riders popularly known as keke all of whom hail from the northern part of the country led to the discovery of other decayed bodies in an uncompleted building about a month ago and subsequent arrest of the two suspects.

It was however discovered that the gang had already killed seven persons and made away with their tricycles.

Parading one of the suspects before journalists in Enugu on Tuesday, the state Commissioner of Police, Nwodibo Ekechukwu, noted that the duo of Nonso Azubuike and Kennedy Ihunegbo started the crime of killing and robbing commercial motorcycle riders of their bikes in Abuja in 2014 before they moved over to Ado area of Nasarawa State.

They had a failed operation in Keffi the same year when a man they thought they had killed raised the alarm leading to the arrest of Nonso who managed to get out of the case before both of them relocated to Enugu in January this year.

In Enugu they operated by stopping and entering tricycles at a point along Ogui Road or Mosque area of Artisan and requesting the rider on each occasion to drop them at their purported building site at Ugwuaji, off the Port-Harcourt expressway.

At the fake building site usually a lonely place the suspects would request the keke rider to carry blocks for them to another location. The unsuspecting victim would be hit on the head with a very heavy iron hammer as he bends to carry the block.

Nonso who confessed that they had killed seven keke riders since January, said they would thereafter take away the victim’s tricycle, wipe off the fleet numbers and sell to prospective buyers.

The commissioner of police disclosed that the second suspect, Kennedy, fell ill and was taken to Enugu State University Teaching Hospital, Parklane, Enugu where he died.
