The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged security agencies to ensure that those behind the Christmas bombings in Madallan, Niger State and other parts of the country are brought to book.
Acting National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, in a statement made available to LEADERSHIP condemned the spate of bombings that claimed several lives, describing them as senseless.
The statement read, “The PDP deeply regrets the loss of lives and properties in this senseless carnage which no doubt has brought untold hardship, pain and sorrow to all the people affected during this period that Nigerians are suppose to celebrate Christmas.
“We wish to once again condemn in totality this recourse to extremist ideologies in a multi-religious and multi-cultural society such as ours and urge our people to take the path of dialogue rather than violence.
“We wish to therefore call on all stakeholders, politicians and religious leaders across the country to eschew violence and support President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and the Vice President, Arc. Mohammed Namadi Sambo to preach the message of peaceful coexistence which is a fundamental condition for sustainable democratic governance in the country,” the party said.
The statement called on all Nigerians to remain calm, vigilant and bring to the attention of the law enforcement agencies any threat to law and order.
