ABIA PDP COMMISERATES WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE OF ABIA STATE ON THE KILLING OF NIGERIAN SOLDIERS IN ABA



The State Chairman of the Abia PDP, Rt. Hon. Dr. Allwell Asiforo Okere, on behalf of the members of the State Working Committee, SWC, members of the enlarged State Executive Committee, SEC, stakeholders and the entire Abia PDP family commiserates with Abia state governor, Dr. Alex Otti, the government and good people of Abia, the Nigerian Army, and the families of the slain soldiers, on the sad incident which happened at Obikabia, in Aba area of the State yesterday.


Recall that three gallant soldiers of the Nigerian Army who were on active duty, were gunned down by unknown gunmen, and sketchy information available to us, has it that two of them are worthy sons of Abia State.


The incident is quite regrettable, especially coming at a time when officers and men of the Nigerian military are working tirelessy to rid society of tension and anarchy and set up the country for forward movement towards development. 


The Abia PDP calls on the governor to engage peacefully with the Nigerian Army to ensure that this sad incident does not escalate and consume more souls as we have already seen some innocent citizens caught in the crossfires between the Army and non-state actors. 


We also call the good people of Abia State to be cautious and remain peaceful and law abiding

 during this sad period, and at other times, and avoid actions capable of fueling the already tense situation. 


And to the Nigerian Army, we condole with you on the loss of your gallant soldiers and plead with you to be discerning in fishing out the pepetrators and ensure that innocent citizens do not fall victims to your efforts to give your slain colleagues justice.


We also call on the military high command to ensure that the families left behind by the soldiers who paid the supreme price for their fatherland in the line of duty are properly taken care of, especially the wives who have become widows and the children who are the leaders of tomorrow.  


May the souls of the fallen heroes find peace in the bosom of the Lord.
