The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the terrorist attack on Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSS), Maga, in Danko Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The PDP faction, in a statement on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, also lamented the killing of the school’s Vice Principal, Hassan Yakubu Makuku, and the abduction of 25 students.
It called on the federal government to urgently take measures to tackle insecurity in Nigeria and end the various forms of killings.
Naijaonpoint recalls that terrorists in the early hours of Monday attacked the Maga Comprehensive Girls’ Secondary School in Sakaba Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The gunmen abducted an unspecified number of female students and killed a staff member.
The assailants were said to have stormed the school at about 5:52 am, shooting sporadically as students prepared for the day’s routine.
Reacting to the development, PDP said the government of President Bola Tinubu has failed in the responsibility of protecting Nigerians.
It commiserated with the victims of the attack as well as those in recent happenings in Nasarawa, Plateau, Kano and Katsina, calling on the government to arrest the situation before it gets further out of hand.
The full statement reads, “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) strongly condemns the attack on the Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSS), Maga, in Danko Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State, where bandits killed the Vice Principal, Hassan Yakubu Makuku, and abducted 25 students.
“This tragic incident further highlights the alarming rise in insecurity that has become the lived reality of majority of Nigerians under the Tinubu-led APC administration- which has consistently preferred the politicization of governance over the protection of citizens. When a government fails in its primary duty of safeguarding lives and property, it must accept responsibility and deal decisively with the issues, rather than act aloof or attempt to deflect from the core issues, as this administration has repeatedly done.
“We commiserate with the parents of the abducted students, the family of the slain Vice Principal, as well as the staff, students, and management of the affected school, and the government of Kebbi State.
“Apart from this highly dusturbing Maga School incident, other abductions have taken place in Nasarawa, Plateau, Kano and Katsina in recent times and this is clearly not the hope (renewed and ‘unrenewed’) promised Nigerians.
“We therefore call on President Tinubu to devote urgent and sufficient attention to securing the lives and property of Nigerians so that this tragic cycle can finally come to an end. Or do we want a foreign country to threaten the government on this?
“Let the killings stop!”
