Abuja (Sundiata Post) – The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 general election, Atiku Abubakar has condemned in strong terms, the attack and killing of innocent travellers on a major highway in Plateau State.
The former Vice President who made the condemnation in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, also called for the scale up of security and the need to give all moral and logistical support for security operatives to continue to face this battle and register victory that will restore peace.
The statement reads in full:
The report of an attack on innocent travellers on a major highway in Plateau State stands condemned, just as those too numerous to mention across the country in recent time.
Atiku Abubakar commiserates with the families of the deceased. One, for losing a dear one and, secondly, in the gruesome and callous manner they met their untimely deaths.
It is acknowledged that the security outfits are doing their very best in the current circumstance to make all of us safe. However, skirmishes like this and the pain accompanying it makes us feel as though enough is not being done.
The former Vice President is of the view that we must continue to scale up security and give all moral and logistical support for security operatives to continue to face this battle and register victory that will restore peace and safety of lives and property to every Nigerian.
It is also his prayer that the Almighty Allah will heal our land and accept all the souls that have been lost to these cruel acts of killings.
Signed:
Paul Ibe
Media Adviser to Atiku Abubakar
Vice President of Nigeria, 1999-2007
