The Buhari Media Organisation, BMO, has blamed the spate of killings across the country on the leading opposition party, the People Democratic Party, PDP.
According to the organisation, the PDP’s intention of allegedly sponsoring the mayhem was to make inconsequential the achievements of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
The argument is contained in a statement issued in Abuja by the chairman of the organisation, Mr. Austin Braimo, and its Secretary, Mr. Cassidy Madueke.
The group said the last “harvest of death” was timed to meet the period that APC delegates were returning home in Northern Nigeria through Plateau State.
The group said the people were waylaid and murdered in cold blood.
“This was done to tarnish the reputation of the President and cast the image of APC in bad light, just for the desperate opposition to gain some political advantage.
“It was also gathered that illegal road blocks were set up by the hired assassins to carry out their nefarious and dastardly hatchet act of man’s inhumanity to man.
“Almost 90 people were cut down in their prime near Jos, Plateau capital,” the group said .

The group said the APC was saddened by the killing of innocent breadwinners, women and children, under the guise of herdsmen versus farmers’ unrest.
It added: “BMO is appealing to Nigerians to show love to Mr. President and show avowed resistance to the unpatriotic people who are working hard to pull the President and his party down.
“The opposition PDP might have achieved its sadistic media objectives of casting pall on the APC and Federal Government, but doing that on a field soaked with human blood is regrettable and unpardonable.
“No amount of calculated distractions or ill-will would prevent President Buhari from fulfilling his electoral promises of security, unity, equity and development to Nigerians.’’
The group prayed for the repose of the souls of those killed and commiserated with their families.
