The Peoples Democratic Party has called on Nigerians to shun parochial interests and join forces with the government to expose terrorist elements in the country.
The call is contained in a statement by the party`s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Olisa Metuh, on Friday in Abuja.
The statement was in reaction to Thursday’s bomb blast in Nyanya, a suburb of Abuja.
It said Nigerians must realise that ordinary citizens had generally become targets of such attacks irrespective of religious and ethnic affiliation.
According to the statement, this is the reason why Nigerians must stand up and join hands with government in the fight against terrorism in the country.
“Nigerians must realise that it is no longer about the President or the government, neither is it about government officials. All Nigerians are under attack. Ordinary people and regular citizens have remained general targets of these enemies of our country.
“Hundreds of innocent Nigerians, Muslims and Christians alike have had their lives brutally ended by the wicked acts of these terrorists,’’ it said.
Nigerians of different professions pursuing their legitimate endeavours had been brutalised and slaughtered, the statement said.
According to him, those behind terrorist acts seek mainly to intimidate, cow, frighten and destroy the nation by imposing a regime of terror, anarchy and chaos.
“They seek to decimate us as a people, destroy our common heritage and bring our nation to its knees, but they will surely fail,’’ it said.
It said Nigerians would not be frightened nor destroyed by act of terrorism, adding that; “our common resolve to live as one people under God remains irrevocable’’.
The party, therefore, called on Nigerians to unite and present a common front against terrorism irrespective of religious, political and ethnic differences in order to win the battle.
“We must refuse to be slaughtered by our enemies; we must show bravery. We must go beyond shedding tears at each carnage and forcefully support our government and security men by exposing terrorist elements and their backers among us,’’ the statement said.

Olisha Metuh, please stop telling us rubbish. You are a useless goat, you did accuse Buhari of being the one responsible for BH activities so why has he Buhari not arrested and prosecuted at least you fools are in power.
ReplyDeleteLate General Andrew Azazi said it at Asaba convection that PDP is the Boko Haram, a month later, he Azazi was shacked as NSO, less than 120 days he was killed in helicopter crash.
You bastard Metuh, please tell Nigerians the truth of the matter. Sani Abasha had done it before, this is not the first time ruling government decided killing her citizens for the reasons best known to them.
If they arrest him it is useless people like u wl be complaining and protesting when they arrest ribadu and elrufai and sanusi it u people that are shouting i dont even no what u people want to turn the president to if he do this u complain of he do that u complain tell me what power the president has? Useless people
ReplyDeleteRibadu and El-Rufai including everybody are not above the law. If they found wanting they should be dealt with according to the law; they aren't extraordinary Nigerians. They are moving freely because they have done nothing otherwise they should have been in the cage.
DeleteYou stupid anonymous is ranting because non of your useless families was involved in any of the BH attacks perhaps, you would have had a good understanding of what I said.
We aren't complaining about the president however, the country is blessed with a lot of intelligent and brave people rather than forcing a slacked GEJ on us. He is unwanted, Nigerians don't need him. We all voted for him hoping he can help us in this country but now it is obvious that he can't do it therefore, he should go shikena.
