The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) strongly has condemned the attack on the Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSS), Maga, in Danko Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State, where bandits killed the Vice Principal, Hassan Yakubu Makuku, and abducted 25 students.
The condemnation was contained in a issued by the newly elected National Publicity Secretary, NPS, of the party
Comrade Ini Ememobong in Abuja.
This tragic incident, the PDP pointed out,
further highlights the alarming rise in insecurity that has become the lived reality of majority of Nigerians under the Tinubu-led APC administration- which has consistently preferred the politicization of governance over the protection of citizens.
According to the statement by the PDP, “When a government fails in its primary duty of safeguarding lives and property, it must accept responsibility and deal decisively with the issues, rather than act aloof or attempt to deflect from the core issues, as this administration has repeatedly done.
“We commiserate with the parents of the abducted students, the family of the slain Vice Principal, as well as the staff, students, and management of the affected school, and the government of Kebbi State.
‘Apart from this highly dusturbing Maga School incident, other abductions have taken place in Nasarawa, Plateau, Kano and Katsina in recent times and this is clearly not the hope (renewed and ‘unrenewed’) promised Nigerians.
“We therefore call on President Tinubu to devote urgent and sufficient attention to securing the lives and property of Nigerians so that this tragic cycle can finally come to an end. Or do we want a foreign country to threaten the government on this?
Let the killings stop”, it said.
