The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have condemned the attack on Government Girls’ Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in Danko Wasagu LGA of Kebbi state.
Bandits on Monday morning killed Hassan Yakubu Makuku, the
vice-principal, and abducted 25 students during the attack.
Ini Ememobong, PDP national publicity secretary, said the
incident reflects the “alarming rise in insecurity” across the country.
He said the federal government under the leadership of
President Bola Tinubu has “preferred the politicisation of governance over the
protection of citizens”.
Ememonong said the government must accept responsibility for
its failure to secure lives and property.
He condoled with the family of the slain vice-principal,
parents of the abducted students, and the Kebbi state government.
The former Akwa Ibom commissioner said recent abductions in
Nasarawa, Plateau, Kano and Katsina states show that insecurity “is clearly not
the hope promised Nigerians”.
Bolaji Abdullahi, ADC national publicity secretary, said the
attack is “another painful reminder of the worsening insecurity across the
country”.
Abdullahi said the party has repeatedly warned the federal
government to confront insecurity with “seriousness and urgency”, adding that
the administration has “turned a blind eye to the suffering of ordinary
Nigerians”.
He said the abduction must not become a repeat of the Chibok
girls’ saga of 2014.
Abdullahi said a government that cannot secure its schools
cannot claim credibility on its promise to protect Nigerians.
He called on Tinubu to ensure the abducted students are
rescued “without delay” and urged security agencies to respond with “urgency,
clarity, and competence”.
He added that the government must deploy all intelligence
assets and strengthen coordination among security formations.
Earlier, Mohammed Idris, minister of information and
national information, said Tinubu has ordered the swift rescue of the abducted
female students.
“Our security and intelligence agencies have been issued
clear directives to locate, rescue, and safely return the students, and to
ensure that the perpetrators face justice,” Idris said in a statement.
