The Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday called on the security agencies in the country to tackle the state of insecurity causing loss of lives.
The party said Nigerians looked up to them at the moment more than ever for safety of lives and property.
The party made the call against the background of the bomb blasts that killed some people at Mubi in Adamawa State.
The attack was carried out by insurgents.
In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, PDP, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP described the killings as extremely wicked and heart-rending.
It also condemned the killing on Monday of the Special Adviser to Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, Mr. Ebikimi Okoringa.
Okoringa was killed by gunmen.
“The PDP and indeed all Nigerians are deeply worried about the ceaseless killing of citizens, which has continued to escalate because of the aloofness of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration on issues of security in our country.
“It is painful that while President Buhari and the APC Federal Government are busy misleading Nigerians and the world with false claims of having decimated insurgents, the same insurgents are having a field day pillaging our citizens in various parts of the country.
“We hold that if the incompetent APC administration had not continued to issue false security assurances, these compatriots would not have believed a lie and dropped their guards when they would have adopted more precautionary measures; only to be slaughtered as soft targets by insurgents,” the party said.
PDP urged Nigerians across board to continue to be at alert and support one another irrespective of religious, ethnic and political leanings, “especially at this trying time in the history of our nation.”
