The news of an explosion at a mosque in Gamboru Market, Maiduguri, serves as yet another depressing illustration of the growing insecurity that is a tragic reality for Nigerians today.

The party argued that this administration should take action rather than resort to rhetoric and political game-playing with security because it has already failed.

No one should lose their lives while worshiping God, according to the PDP, as they sympathized with the families of those killed in the attack.

“We require concrete, practical security measures that can be carried out on the ground. The statement added that this growing insecurity must be dealt with with the urgency and seriousness it deserves because it has become intolerable.
