The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the attack carried out by thugs against the #BringBackOurGirls protesters in Abuja on Wednesday.
In a statement by the party’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the attack on the protesters confirmed that the federal government was embarking on a campaign to shift the responsibility from the government to the abductors, in line with President Goodluck Jonathan’s admonition to the protesters to direct their protests at the abductors rather than to his government.
The party noted that members of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign have conducted themselves in a civil and peaceful manner. It said the attack was therefore deplorable and definitely orchestrated to shift the focus from #BringBackOurGirls to the spoiler #Release Our Girls.
It therefore urged the government to focus its energy on how to bring back the girls safely, more than one-and-a-half months into their abduction.
