Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has blamed the attack by terrorists on the Kaduna bound train on Monday on the silence of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) on a previous attack by terrorists on the Kaduna International Airport.
According to a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the silence of the President on the Kaduna Airport emboldened the terrorists to attack the train.
Referring to Monday’s attack, the PDP said: “More alarming is the fact that this particular attack took place within two days of the deadly terrorist attack on the Kaduna International Airport on Saturday, March 26, 2022, in the same Kaduna State controlled by the APC government.
“The PDP insists that the complicity of silence by the Buhari regime on Saturday’s airport attack emboldened the terrorists to assault the train; a development which also validates the PDP’s position that the APC administration has conceded sovereignty over parts of our country to terrorists.”
