The Peoples Democratic Party has supported President Goodluck Jonathan on his warning to political leaders and some former office holders to desist from sowing seeds of discord among the people with their incendiary utterances. 


PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, in a statement on Saturday described Mr. President’s statement as a “perfect act in nationalism, the mark of true leader who is committed to the interest and welfare of the nation and her citizens”

He said: “a committed national and patriotic leader, a decent politician, a lover of a united, stable and prosperous Nigeria and a champion of the integrity of the nation’s electoral process.”

According to him, “It is the height of hypocrisy that the All Progressives Congress, known for making inflammatory and divisive statements would turn round to point a finger of guilt at the President.

“It is indeed unfortunate that instead of retracing their steps, as all well-meaning citizens would have done under the circumstance, the APC, in their desperation, went ahead to justify their unguarded statements with renewed personal attack on the President.

“By refusing to heed calls by patriotic Nigerians including the President to shed their penchant for inciting statements, and for showing no remorse over the fact that their statements fuel violence and insurgency, the APC has again confirmed that it is a party of unpatriotic elements on a mission to destroy our country.”
