The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has reacted to the killing of Security operatives in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the State, on Saturday.
Spokesperson of the Party, Ogbonna Nwuke in a statement on Sunday, condemned the incident, describing it as “senseless.”
He said what is happening shows that the Wike administration was absolutely wrong in demolishing a flourishing security apparatus that was put in place by its predecessor.
Nwuke said the consequence of such an irrational act, is responsible for some of the security threats bedeviling the state.
He said those who carried out the attacks are cowards, and people must make sure that they are not allowed to threaten our peace.
“Our hearts go out to the families of these gallant soldiers and policemen who paid the supreme price that we may live. We sympathise with those they left behind and urge the authorities in Port Harcourt to ensure that the lives of these officers who died on the line of duty do not go in vain,” he said.
“No struggle, no matter how valuable, is worth the blood of others. We therefore urge all Nigerians to unite against the actions of all known separatists across the country who are determined to tear us apart, not by the force of reason, but by acts of terrorism,” he added.
He called on the State government to go beyond mere rhetoric and ensure that acts of criminality and cultism, are dealt with.
