NATIONAL leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has condemned in very strong terms the continued terror attacks, particularly the mindless killing of over 145 Nigerians in Borno state on Thursday.

In a statement Friday by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the party pledged its total support in President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-terror efforts.

According to  Metuh, the PDP was extremely grieved by the killings, which cannot be justified under any guise, while calling on Nigerians to present a common front against insurgency.

He said, “indeed, the time has come for all Nigerians, irrespective of ethnic, religious and political affiliations to be in one accord in the fight against terrorism in our dear country.

“In this challenge, the PDP stands with President Muhammadu Buhari and  the nation on any measure adopted by the Federal Government aimed at ending this ugly experience. We may not be on the same page on some policy issues but not when it comes to matters that directly affects the security of our citizens and our stability as a nation.”

While calling on those behind the insurgency to embrace peace and end the senseless bloodshed, the party commiserated with the government of Borno state, the families of those who lost their lives and prayed God to give them the fortitude to bear the loss.

It also called on all citizens to continue to support and pray for the security forces as they risk their lives while defending the nation.
