The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condoled with the families of victims of the bomb blasts which occurred in a Mosque inside the University of Maiduguri on Monday, January 16, killing a Professor of Veterinary Medicine, Aliyu Usman Mani and four others.
The APC said in a statement that it strongly condemns this cowardly act by Boko Haram, and that the party views this latest act of terror as another confirmation of the group’s desperation to remain in the national consciousness, having lost its former stronghold to the Nigerian Army.
The statement signed by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi said: “Even as we mourn with fellow citizens who have fallen victims to the terrorists, we are consoled by the knowledge that Boko Haram’s days are numbered and these indeed are its dying days.
“We once again salute our gallant men in uniform for their heroic efforts and their invaluable sacrifice to our nation. We commend President Muhammadu Buhari for keeping the promise that our Party made
to Nigerians that we would end the insurgency and restore peace to the Northeast of Nigeria.
“The Party assure Nigerians that with their support and prayer, even these isolated attacks by Boko Haram insurgents will soon be a thing of the past.”
