Fayose who spoke at a press briefing in Ado Ekiti equally hailed the postponement of the president's visit to the state for the formal hand over of the party's flag to him. The president was supposed to perform the ceremony today, but that has now been shifted by one week on account of the twin bombing in Jos, Plateau State.
"It is disheartening that the APC went ahead with its own campaign rally in Ado-Ekiti today, despite the number of lives that were lost in Jos, Plateau State on Tuesday."
"God will surely visit His wrath on anyone shedding the blood of innocent Nigerians just for political gains." The PDP gubernatorial candidate said "Questions Nigerians must begin to ask are; why is it that anytime President Goodluck Jonathan is about to attend a major political event, the Boko Haram will strike?
"Why did the criminal activities of the Boko Haram insurgents increase a few months to the Ekiti and Osun State elections?" Fayose further asked. He, therefore appealed to members of the PDP in the state to remain resolute and continue to work for the success of the party.
Fayose said a new date would be announced for the flag-off ceremony soon. In his own reaction, spokesperson of Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organization, Dimeji Daniels said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flag bearer was suffering from General Anxiety Disorder Syndrome (GADs).
Daniels added that the PDP rally was cancelled for fear of failure as the party has self-destruct from the inside.
According to him, the PDP rally was cancelled as President Jonathan had well cancelled his earlier planned attendance in view of the internal bickerings associated with the strange and undemocratic manner of its controversial flag-bearer, Ayodele Fayose.
He added that the gargantuan of intra-party problems would have rubbished the so-called rally, hence the reason it was unavoidably cancelled.
"The enormity of the problems confronting the party owing to the controversial style of its candidate would have rubbished the rally. This is why it was cancelled.
The attempt of the PDP to draw cheap public sympathy from this is another of its insensitive approach to serious issues affecting the lives of defenseless Nigerians. After all, Nigerians know which party was dancing azonto in Kano and popping champagne in Ibadan few hours after many were killed in the Yanyan explosion in Abuja." He added that it was usual for the PDP which is in control of the government at the centre to accuse others of its numerous failings. Daniels said it is on record that APC governors and leaders have shown more concern for victims of insurgency in the country in the way they have always taken care of the victims through donations and love, way before the PDP-led government woke up from its lethargy.
