ABUJA/Nigeria: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday, condemned the murder of 41 Nigerians allegedly by marauders in Zamfara State.
The party also bemoaned what it called “the continued failure of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-controlled Federal Government to take decisive steps to end killings in various parts of the country,” the latest being Wednesday’s massacre.
The party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, lamented daily massacre of Nigerians, stressing that it was annoying that those elected to protect them were only thinking of fresh mandate in 2019.
“Hardly have tears dried over the gruesome killings in Benue, Taraba, Kaduna, Nasarawa and other states when marauders hit Zamfara, a state known for peace, killing 41 citizens in cold blood, yet all we get is mere lip service from the APC-controlled Federal Government.
“In the last two months, hundreds of helpless citizens have been murdered by bandits in various parts of the country and nothing concrete has been done by the federal government to end the butchery and bring the perpetrators to book”.
