APC Mourns Gulak, Calls for Collective Action against Criminality

By Adedayo Akinwale

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed shock over the assassination of former Presidential aide, Ahmed Gulak, in the Imo state capital, Owerri.

The National Secretary of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Sen. John Akpanudoedehe, in a statement issued on Monday said while majority of Nigerians sympathised with the victims of crimes in the country, it was discernible that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was apparently excited about the security incidents being perpetrated by evil-doers against the citizens.

The ruling party therefore called on Nigerians to mourn his death and condemn his murderers in the strongest possible terms.

Akpanudoedehe said, “We commiserate with his immediate family as well as the government and people of Adamawa State. He was a shining political leader and patriot.

“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 APC reiterated the need for continuous support and cooperation with members of the security services who put their lives on the line to protect us and our property.
