The governing All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed shock over the death of an APC chieftain, who was killed in Imo State, Ahmed Gulak, while also calling for national unity to fight crimes, Njenje Media News reports.
APC in a statement by the National Secretary Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Senator John James Akpanudoedehe wrote:
The APC has “joined Nigerians to mourn his death and condemn his murderers in the strongest possible terms. We commiserate with his immediate family as well as the government and people of Adamawa State”.
The party described the late chieftain as a shining political leader and patriot.
“The APC as all well-meaning Nigerians is calling for national unity to fight crimes in the country and urge relevant security agencies to leave no stone unturned in their efforts to track down and swiftly bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice.
“While the majority of Nigerians sympathize with the victims of crimes in the country, it is discernible that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is apparently excited about the security incidents being perpetrated by evil-doers against the citizens”.
The APC reiterated the need for continuous support and cooperation with the security services who put their lives on the line to “protect us and our property”.
