All Progressives Congress has said that President Goodluck Jonathan is taking advantage of the Nigerian Immigration Service recruitment deaths because he is desperate for re-election.
Recently, the President awarded N75 Million compensation and employment letters to the families of those who died during the exercise last year.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said ’The truth is that this President was forced to act because of the elections. Otherwise, why has it taken one year for the President to redeem his promise to the bereaved families? Why has his administration not sanctioned those who sent innocent job seekers to their early graves after extorting them? Why is the Interior Minister, Mr. Abba Moro, who presided over the deaths, still in office, virtually dancing on the graves of those innocent youths?
‘’Sunday, March 15, will mark one year since those vibrant youths were lured to their deaths by a callous Federal Government that failed them in all ramifications, including the security of their lives and the assurance of their welfare, the raison d’etre of any government.
“It is therefore utterly reprehensible, immoral and wicked for the same administration to seek to make political gains out of the needless tragedy.”
