A group known as Patriotic Front of Nigeria has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of working with to disrupt the 2019 general election.
Rabiu Usman, national coordinator of Patriotic Front of Nigeria, who spoke in Abuja on Saturday alleged that the PDP has a working relationship with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Usman said it is no coincidence that the PDP is always ready with a response to Boko Haram attacks.
“It is glaring that what the PDP is doing is nothing but shedding crocodile tears because whatever is happening today in terms of terrorism has the foundation laid in the 16 years that the one-time ruling party was in power,” he said.
“It is convenient to shift the blame to a party that has been in office for a little over three years but the reality is that PDP owns the responsibility for what is happening in Nigeria.
“A situation where the PDP presidential candidate, Mr Atiku Abubakar, own up to knowing how Boko Haram started and he has not been censured is most ridiculous. If we look at it critically, he is the most senior politician in his party and he admitted that he and his fellow politicians started Boko Haram by using extremist youths for political thuggery.
“If the PDP politicians started Boko Haram then they apparently still control this satanic group and they have mobilized Boko Haram to do damage ahead of the elections for which President Muhammadu Buhari can easily blamed.”
The PFN national coordinator accused the PDP of activating IPOB to frustrate the elections.
