IMO- Tuesday, 27 April 2021: The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the recent attack on Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma’s residence, adding President Muhammadu Buhari’s government will bring to book the perpetrators and sponsors of those behind the attack and insecurity facing the country.
The party disclosed this On Monday in a statement titled, ‘We must unite against insecurity – APC,’ which was signed by the party’s National Secretary, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, in Abuja.
Akpanudoedehe stated that the current government and the party would not play politics with human lives.
He wrote: “The issue of insecurity in the country has found expression in terrorist and criminal activities of Boko Haram, bandits, kidnappers, rustlers and recently the highly condemnable attacks on security formations in some states.
“These are current realities and the APC will not play politics with matters of life and our collective wellbeing as a nation.
“As a progressive party in government, we are fully focused on identifying and bringing to book the perpetrators and sponsors of this hydra-headed insecurity monster and consolidating on our visible development strides.”
The statement further read that “Only in safety can we enjoy the current infrastructure revolution that has witnessed the rehabilitation, construction and reconstruction of over 13,000 kilometers of critical federal roads, construction of thousands of affordable and acceptable housing and of course, the ongoing national railway projects gainfully connecting cities and towns across the country.”
The APC, while condemning the attack on Udodinma’s residence, expressed sympathy with the Nigeria Police Force and families of the victims.
It added that the attack was not only on the Governor’s house, but on democracy and constituted authority serving the interest of the good people of Imo state.
The party therefore charged security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of the attack and their sponsors and ensure that they face the full weight of the law.
