APC questions morality of compensation to families of Immigration recruitment tragedy

All Progressive Congress, APC has questioned government’s sincerity over compensation to families of Immigration recruitment tragedy.
The APC Presidential Campaign Organisation in a statement said Nigerians should not be deceived by President Jonathan’s tokenism of duplicity and its attempt to claim the credibility it never had.
Reacting to the five million donations to each of the 15 families of Nigerian job seekers who died during the March 2014 Immigration recruitment exercise, the APC Presidential Campaign explained that, it had no quarrel with bringing relief to the families of the victims, including automatic employment to 33 members of the families.
The Media Spokesman of the Campaign, Malam Garba Shehu, however, criticised the insincerity of the Jonathan administration in its attempt to throw dust in the eyes of Nigerians by pretending to be caring on the first anniversary of the Immigration recruitment tragedy.
According to Malam Shehu, paying compensation to the families of the victims is a welcome idea, but the lack of sincerity by the Jonathan’s government has morally tainted what was supposed to be a humanitarian gesture.
He said it is not enough to pay compensation to the families of the promising Nigerians killed in that stampede, while at the same time refusing to hold the officials accountable for the incident.
