The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the attack on Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSS), Maga, in Danko Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State, where bandits reportedly killed the Vice Principal, Hassan Yakubu Makuku, and abducted 25 students.
In a statement signed on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, the opposition party described the incident as tragic and deeply disturbing, lamenting that insecurity has become the daily reality for millions of Nigerians under the Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
The PDP accused the Federal Government of prioritising politics over governance, stating that the administration has repeatedly failed in its primary responsibility of securing lives and property.
“This tragic incident further highlights the alarming rise in insecurity that has become the lived reality of majority of Nigerians under the Tinubu-led APC administration — which has consistently preferred the politicization of governance over the protection of citizens,” the statement read.
The party commiserated with the parents of the abducted students, the family of the slain school official, as well as the staff and management of the school and the government of Kebbi State.
The PDP also noted that the Maga school attack adds to a series of recent abductions recorded in Nasarawa, Plateau, Kano and Katsina States, insisting that the prevailing security situation contradicts the promises made by the current administration.
The statement called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to “devote urgent and sufficient attention to securing the lives and property of Nigerians so that this tragic cycle can finally come to an end.”
“Let the killings stop,” the PDP added.
