PDP Condemns Nyanya, Kuje Bombings
….Restates Support For Buhari On Fight Against Insurgency

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemns as barbaric and cowardly,
Friday night’s bomb attacks in Nyanya and Kuje satellite towns of Abuja.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, in a statement on
Saturday said the party was shocked by the news of the gruesome attacks
in the two towns, which claimed the lives of citizens going about their
normal endeavours.

The party said it is particularly pained that the senseless and wicked
attacks came just 24 hours after the nation celebrated its 55th
independence anniversary, when the citizens and their leaders renewed
their faith in the oneness and progress of the nation.

“The PDP deeply grieves for the continued acts of terrorism, especially
in the northern parts of the country, where insurgents are still
slaughtering innocent Nigerians almost by the day.

“Indeed, this is not the way to go. We can no longer afford to continue
to have our people cut down and slaughtered. We all, as Nigerians, must
therefore close ranks and present a common front in support of our
government and security forces in the fight against terrorism in our
country.

“It is on this note that we restate our support for each and every
policy undertaken by the Government of President Muhammadu Buhari aimed
at ending insurgency and checking criminal activities in our nation”,
the party said.

The PDP however urged government officials to do less of talking and pay
more attention to issues of intelligence gathering, as well as social
and direct military actions against terrorism.

The party also called on Nigerians to remain vigilant and continue to
support and pray for the security forces as they risk their lives to
ensure the safety of other citizens. It commiserated with the families
of those who lost their lives in the attacks and prayed God to give them
the fortitude to bear the loss.
