The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in a statement by Mr Olise Metuh, its National Publicity Secretary, in Abuja yesterday criticised governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for shunning President Goodluck Jonathan’s meeting to discuss the security challenges in the country.
Metuh maintained that governance was different from politics, adding that it was quite unfortunate that in the pursuance of politics APC governors shunned a sensitive meeting.
"It is important to note that APC governors do not shun meetings where the Federal Government takes care of their financial interests.
"But as this meeting is meant to take care of the interests of Nigerians, they shunned it."
Perhaps the APC was not happy with the news by the police and security agents that they were closing in on the perpetrators of the Nyanya bombing, he said.
Metuh added that it was certainly more than curious that APC governors whose states were at the thick of the Boko Haram insurgency were the once trying to subvert meetings called to address the malaise.
He, therefore, called on Nigerians be conscious of their antics and `` read the body language of the APC’’.
``They may make the appropriate noises from time to time, but in the fight against terrorism, actions speak louder than words.’’
