The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation has accused the All
Progressive Congress APC of using foreign interests to distabilise the country.
The group said it is regrettable that the party in its inordinate bid to
wrestle power from the ruling People’s Democratic Party PDP has resorted to
using countries that are not comfortable with Nigeria’s rising profile in the
continent to distabilise the country’s fight against insurgency.
The group in a press statement signed by its National
Coordinator Comrade Nwokoma Messiah accused the South African President of
trying to appease his friend Atiku Abubakar who is a presidential aspirant under
the All Progressive Congress APC. The statement said it is appalling that the South
African government failed to use all diplomatic channels to resolve the issue
considering the fact that the issue has strong implications in the country’s
fight against terrorism.
The NDRO cautioned Nigerians to beware of the APC which it
said was working against the interest of Nigeria. “What has the APC said when
Nigerians are being maltreated daily by South Africans. This administration is
the only administration that has tackled the maltreatment of Nigerians by South
Africans” the group said.
The statement said the group will mobilise Nigerians against
South African economic interests in the county if the South African government
fails to stop the embarrassment of the Federal Government. It said it will continue
to support the federal government’s fight against terrorism stressing that any
party that is seen to be sympathetic to terrorist groups in the country must be
rejected come 2015.
It will be recalled that the South African government
recently seized 5.7 million dollars meant for arms purchase against Boko Haram
terrorists. The South African Government had earlier seized 9.3 million dollars
which was been transported in the Private jet of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor the
President of the Christian Association of Nigerian CAN.
