That All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, charged the nation’s security agencies to do more In securing the country from the hands of terrorists and bandits
The party which condemmed the last weekend’s abduction of the students of the Government Science Secondary School Kankara in Katsina State, likened the incident to what happened in Chibok and Dapchi in Borno and Yobe States respectively a few years back said insecurity is destroying educational system and the future of the Youth.
APC in a statement from the Caretaker/Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee Chairman and governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, charged the security agencies to do more in securing the country, just as he asked Nigerians to give them the necessary support.
Buni said, “Last Friday, the nation learnt of the grim and sad news that more than 500 students were abducted from Government Science Secondary School Kankara in Katsina State. On Sunday, the nation learnt again that more than 330 of those students are still missing.
“This is particularly sad and difficult moment not just for the families of the
student victims and the government and people of Katsina State for the entire
country. Our thoughts and prayers are therefore with the victims and their
families as well as the government and people of Katsina State.
“These abductions bring to mind the sad incidents in Chibok and Dapchi in
Borno and Yobe States respectively a few years ago where students undergoing their studies and working hard to become tomorrow’s leaders were abducted by insurgents and made to go through appallingly harrowing experiences.
As the President Muhammadu Buhari administration works harder to improve the security situation in the country, the APC calls on the nation’s security agencies to dig deeper and do better by ensuring that our students can go to school safely and learn all across the country. There is no greater harm that insecurity can do to a nation than to destroy its education and the future of its youths.
“The APC believes that the security agencies have the will, commitment, and training to restore public confidence in their ability to secure the lives and
property of Nigerians. They should therefore demonstrate this commitment by more robustly going after criminals and denying them the space to perpetrate crime.”
Appealing to Nigerians and the security agencies of the party’s commitment to assist in securing the country, Buni said,” “On our part, the APC assures Nigerians that it will continue to work with the federal government, security agencies, governors, emirs, community leaders and all other stakeholders to address and improve the security situation in the
country.
“The APC calls on Nigerians to continue to partner with the federal government
and the security agencies so that together we can restore peace and sanity in our streets, on our roads, and all across the nooks and crannies of the country.”
