The All Progressives Congress has accused the Peoples Democratic Party of being insensitive and playing desperate politics with the blood of soldiers killed in the Melete attacks.
The
ruling party also said the allegations by the opposition PDP that
military funds had been diverted to finance its 2019 election campaigns
was a sad reminder of the evil and retrogressive practices the PDP was
notorious for during its reign.

It stated these in a press statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, on Tuesday in Abuja.
The
statement read, “God forbid that the APC inherits and apply such morbid
practice as brazenly displayed during the immediate-past PDP
administration where funds allocated to fight the Boko Haram insurgency
in the Northeast were shared among PDP leaders and their cronies.

“The
PDP and Atiku are playing desperate politics where even the blood of
our fallen heroes is fair game. Their actions are callous and
insensitive to the families and dependants of the late soldiers and
indeed our military which battles daily to ensure our territorial
integrity.”
