The All Progressives Congress on Monday said President Muhammadu Buhari and his regime, will soon
deal with those behind Nigeria’s growing insecurity.
It said the current security challenge was
real, as such, the APC as a political party would not play politics with human
lives.
This was contained in a statement titled,
‘We must unite against insecurity – APC,’ signed by the party’s National
Secretary, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, in Abuja, on Monday.
Akpanudoedehe said, “The issue of insecurity
in the country has found expression in terrorist and criminal activities of
Boko Haram, bandits, kidnappers, rustlers and recently the highly condemnable
attacks on security formations in some states.
“These are current realities and the APC
will not play politics with matters of life and our collective wellbeing as a
nation.
“As a progressive party in government, we
are fully focused on identifying and bringing to book the perpetrators and
sponsors of this hydra-headed insecurity monster and consolidating on our
visible development strides.”
The party condoled with all those affected
by the security incidents and appealed to Nigerians to unite against insecurity
and criminality.
The statement
further read, “Only in safety can we enjoy the current infrastructure
revolution that has witnessed the rehabilitation, construction and
reconstruction of over 13,000 kilometers of critical federal roads,
construction of thousands of affordable and acceptable housing and of course,
the ongoing national railway projects gainfully connecting cities and towns
across the country.”
In an earlier statement titled, ‘APC
Condemns Attack on Governor Uzodinma’s Residence, Police Formations,’
Akpanudoedehe condemned the attack on the country home of the Imo State
Governor, Hope Uzodinma, by unknown gunmen.
He said, “The party equally condemns the
wanton attacks on police personnel and formations in Abia, Imo, Ebonyi and
Anambra states as well as Rivers State.
“We stand with the Nigeria Police Force and
families of the victims in this difficult time as we mourn the deaths of
innocent and dedicated security personnel simply carrying out their duty of
protecting life and property.
“In Imo state, the attack on the Governor’s
residence is an attack on democracy and constituted authority serving the
interest of the good people of Imo state.”
It also charged security agencies to fish
out the perpetrators of these attacks and their sponsors and ensure that they
face the full weight of the law.
