The PDP-GF described the ADC's statement as "irresponsible" and accused the party of playing politics with human lives.
The ADC had condemned the PDP governors for holding their meeting in Zamfara days after a tragic killing in the state, describing the action as insensitive.
However, the PDP-GF Director-General, Dr. Emmanuel Agbo, said the ADC should have shown empathy by visiting the affected states instead of criticizing the PDP governors.
Agbo stated that the PDP governors' meeting had been scheduled beforehand and was not a response to the recent killings. He added that the meeting extensively discussed the state of the nation, including the security situation.
The PDP-GF communique issued after the meeting condemned the continued killings in various parts of the country and called on the federal government to do more to protect lives and properties.
Agbo also noted that the PDP had become more formidable and focused since the exit of ADC members, and that the party was committed to national unity and harmony.
The PDP-GF director-general accused the ADC of trying to gain political capital from human lives and described the party as a "one chance vehicle" that was not genuinely concerned about the security situation in the country.
