The Adamawa State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Stakeholders yesterday condemned in strong terms bomb attack in Kabang, a suburb in Mubi Local Government Area of Adamawa State, which occurred last Sunday, 1 June, 2014.

The group described the incident as a huge let down to residents, victims and their
relations, who live around the vicinity and an attempt to decimate a large population of Nigerians by Boko Haram insurgents. .

“The entire members of this pressure group wish to express our extreme anguish and regret over the wanton decimation of a large population of Nigerians by Boko Haram insurgents.

“Specifically, we condemn in strong terms the recent bomb attack in Kabang, a suburb in Mubi Local Government Area of Adamawa State which occurred last Sunday 1, June 2014. The incident was a huge let down to residents, victims and their relations who live around the vicinity.”

The bombing, which occurred at a football viewing centre claimed over 20 lives, and several others injured from the gruesome murder.The Adamawa elders, who also condemned the politicisation of insecurity challenges in the country, said they were totally sickened by what they called the pettiness of cheap political gimmicks surrounding Boko Haram’s horrific activities in the recent past.

Mindful of Federal Government’s determination to stem the tide of these reckless killings of innocent citizens by Boko Haram insurgents since 2009 to date, the group thumped up to the military for their resolve to secure the over 200 Chibok School Girls recently abducted by the insurgents and wanton decimation of a large population of Nigerians by Boko Haram insurgents.

The group further commended the recent selection of some African leaders drawn from different countries in the continent to fashion out a frame work to tackle the menace of terrorism in three North Eastern States of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states, describing it as a step in the right direction.

“We commend the selected African leaders drawn from South Africa, Ethiopia, Ghana, Congo and Cote Divoire to fashion out a frame work to tackle the menace of terrorism in Nigerian’s three North Eastern States of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe is a commendable step in the right direction.

“We are confident that this powerful body shall decisively deal with the challenges of terrorism not only in Nigeria, but the African continent as a whole.

For them, President Goodluck Jonathan deserves support and commendation for his doggedness and untiring efforts to stem the tide of insurgent in the Country, despite all odds.

The group also used the medium to condemn Gov. Murtala Nyako over the recent statement credited to him, in which he attributed insurgency in the North East to both the President and the country’s military, saying that such allegation without a verifiable proof is baseless, null and void.

“To us, his allegations are baseless, null and void, most especially that he could not attach verifiable evidences to buttress any of his claims in a letter he wrote to 19 northern governors on the issue.
