Independence day celebration: Lagos PDP berates ACN over comments on FG

The PeoplesDemocratic Party,(PDP), Lagos State chapter, on Tuesday, carpeted the leadership of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), over comments on President Goodluck Jonathan decision's to celebrate the nation's independence in low key.The ACN, through its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, had said that the Federal Government's decision to hold the independence day celebration at Aso Rock instead of the Eagle Square was a show of cowardice.However, in its reaction, the PDP, in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Taofik Gani, expressed shock that the ACN did not appreciate the said style which had now prevented loss of lives of innocent Nigerians.The statement reads in part that 'the Lagos State PDP sees this current criticism as a confirmation that the ACN is either bereaved of humane governance or deliberately out to pull down the Federal Government of Nigeria. The party is shocked that the ACN did not appreciate the said style which had now prevented loss of innocent Nigerians.'There was a threat by MEND to bomb Eagle Square on the Independence Day, this time around the presidency was proactive and 'cowardly' wise to make useless the plans of the would be attackers rather than engage in idiotic boldness as counselled by ACN.
