*Postpones House of Assembly Primaries In The State
The Peoples Democratic Party has expressed shock over Friday’s bomb
attack that claimed the lives of innocent citizens worshipping at the
Kano Central Mosque, describing it as “very painful.”
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement said the
party was grief-stricken when it received the news of the gruesome
attack “especially considering that the victims were harmless Nigerians
who were at the mosque to offer prayers and express their allegiance and
love for the Almighty God.”
“Indeed, our hearts ache for our brothers and sisters who were
slaughtered in this horrible attack. We grieve for the bereaved,
especially those who have been widowed and orphaned today. We share in
their sorrows and pray that those behind this atrocious act must not
escape justice.”
The party lamented that victims of the incessant attacks in the country
were productive citizens who were making useful contributions for the
growth and development of the nation.
Calling on those behind the attacks to have a rethink and embrace peace,
the PDP said the nation would have been a better place if the human and
material resources as well as the time and energy wasted as a result of
the security challenges were channeled towards national development.
It also urged the citizens not to loose faith but continue to remain
vigilant and co-operate with the Government and security agencies as
they strive to find a lasting solution to the security challenges.
The party, in solidarity with the people of Kano state postponed its
state House of Assembly primaries slated for Saturday, November 29, 2014
while praying God to comfort the bereaved and bring enduring peace to
the nation.
