PDP Excited Over Gulak’s Assassination – APC

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of being excited about the killing of its chieftain, Ahmed Gulak, by unknown gunmen in Imo State.

Naija News had reported how Gulak was killed in the early hours of Sunday shortly after he left his hotel and was said to heading to the Sam Mbakwe airport to connect with a flight back to his destination.

The APC expressed shock over the murder of Gulak, claiming that the PDP is excited about cases of attacks and murderous violence against citizens.

National Secretary, Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee CECPC of the APC, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe, disclosed this in a statement Monday in Abuja

“While the majority of Nigerians sympathise 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”, he said.

The APC reiterated the need for continuous support and cooperation with the security services that put dear lives on the line to protect Nigerians.

“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.

“The Party joins 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. He was a shining political leader and patriot,” he said.

Akpanudoedehe noted that since the ruling APC assumed office in 2015, Nigeria has not known peace.

“At every turn and on daily basis, one is confronted with gory tales of killings, bloodbath, misery, and destitution, with thousands of compatriots killed and many more injured and displaced in various parts of the country,” he said.
