APC condemns Yobe school attack, urges the President to visit state

The All Progressives Congress (APC), on Wednesday condemned the horrific attack on the Federal Government College Buni Yadi, in Yobe.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that insurgents reportedly murdered about 40 students of the college on Feb. 25.
In a statement issued in Lagos by its Interim National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, APC described the attack as “extremely gory even by the scorched-earth tactics of the terrorists.

”What a sad day for Nigeria and indeed for all of humanity, when innocent school children were used as soft targets by a group of cowardly terrorists.”
According to Mohammed, the attackers have “shed their toga of humanity on the altar of a meaningless ideology.
”We condole with the families of the victims as well as the government and people of Yobe over this abominable crime.
“We urge the State and Federal Governments to work together to ensure that schools in the state are adequately protected,” it stated.
APC, however, called on President Goodluck Jonathan to visit the state to offer succour to the families of the victims and the state government. (NAN)
