The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned in very strong terms the Wednesday bombings in Kaduna, which claimed the lives of many innocent Nigerians, describing the attacks as dastardly and unfortunate.
The party also charged security agencies to ensure a thorough investigation into the attacks as well as intensify their efforts in the overall fight against insurgency in Nigeria.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, in a statement issued yesterday, said the party, while mourning the dead, “joins all well-meaning Nigerians in thanking God for saving the lives of General Muhammadu Buhari and Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, whose convoys were affected in the incident.”
“We sincerely sympathize with General Buhari. Our hearts go out to him and all those affected in these wicked attacks”, the PDP said.
The party, which stated it was shocked by the ugly development, reiterated its call for all Nigerians to unite against acts of terrorism irrespective of ethnic, political and religious affiliations adding that “it has become clear that anybody could be a target”.
It however cautioned opposition leaders to be careful with their utterances regarding the unfortunate incident, saying that Nigerians must unite for the nation to win the war against terror.
