The All Progressives Congress has accused the main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party of not showing genuine concern over the spate of killings across the country but rather politicising it.
National Secretary, APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, made the allegation in a statement, on Monday.
Senator Akpanudoedehe said what was needed at this time was concerted efforts and cooperation of all Nigerians to surmount the security incidents being perpetrated by evil-doers against the citizens.
The ruling party which “expressed shock over Sunday morning’s barbaric killing of Barrister Ahmed Gulak, an APC chieftain in the Imo State capital, Owerri,” called on relevant security agencies to track down the masterminds of the late Gulak murder.
“The Party joins Nigerians to mourn his death and condemn his murderers in the strongest possible terms. We commiserate with his immediate family as well as the government and people of Adamawa State. He was a shining political leader and patriot.
“The APC as all well-meaning Nigerians is calling for national unity to fight crimes in the country and urge relevant security agencies to leave no stone unturned in their efforts to track down and swiftly bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice.
“While the majority of Nigerians sympathise with the victims of crimes in the country, it is discernible that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is apparently excited about the security incidents being perpetrated by evil-doers against the citizens.
“The APC reiterates the need for continuous support and cooperation with the security services who put their lives on the line to protect us and our property.”
