The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has mocked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the recent unveiling of the “TEN COMMANDMENTS MONUMENT” in Plateau State, as the party described the event as, another deception of the PDP.
The APC in a press statement signed by, Sylvanus Namang, the APC State Publicity Secretary, dated 10th December, 2021, while reacting and replying the PDP’s attack on the State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong, stated that, “the Plateau people are too advanced for this grand deception”.
Adding that, “We do not want to go into the details of state funds that were shamelessly deployed into the construction of the monument, which has so many issues surrounding it.
“Now turning the over 5000 sitting outfit into a business enterprise to be hired for corporate and individual functions is a sad commentary on how we use the name of God for commercial purposes.
“If it is really a religious monument as claimed, why is WAYE, a business outfit of the former governor’s wife, also widely believed to have been set up with state funds, being annexed to it?”
The APC also mocked the PDP and the organizers of the event that, of all the personalities and other distinguished guests invited, only former President Goodluck Jonathan, turned up in person.

RE: LALONG SNEAKS OUT OF JOS AS GOODLUCK JONATHAN ARRIVES PLATEAU
The attention of the All Progressives Congress, APC Plateau State Chapter, has been drawn to a press statement by the PDP in Plateau state under the above caption.
This is just one of its usual mischief, as it lacks what to keep it afloat after its sinking ship.
The APC, however, understands the frustration of the PDP in Plateau state as the hype created around the commissioning of the “Ten Commandments Monument” whatever that means, by former President Goodluck Jonathan turned out to be a monumental failure.
Apart from the former President who attended in person and which we commend his humility for attending that occasion which was a mere jamboree, all other invited personalities including Vice- President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the PDP governors of Benue and Taraba states cautiously sent representatives.
What is wrong with Governor Simon Lalong sending a representative in the person of his Commissioner of Agriculture, Hon. Hosea Finangwai, as he had more productive engagements outside the state.
We do not want to go into the details of state funds that were shamelessly deployed into the construction of the monument which has so many issues surrounding it.
Now turning the over 5000 sitting outfit into a business enterprise to be hired for corporate and individual functions is a sad commentary on how we use the name of God for commercial purposes.
If it is really a religious monument as claimed, why is WAYE, a business outfit of the former governor’s wife, also widely believed to have been set up with state funds, being annexed to it?
Plateau people are too advanced for this grand deception.
Signed:
Sylvanus Namang,
APC State Publicity Secretary,
10th December, 2021.
