PDP Condoles With Anambra Over Attack On Church
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed shock over the news of suspected attack by a gunman in the early hours of last Sunday at St. Philips Catholic Church in Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State, killing and injuring several worshipers.
A statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, PDP, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, described the invasion as “barbaric, sacrilegious and a serious indication that our society is fast degenerating into a state of anomie with total moral collapse and utter disregard for the sanctity of human life”.
The party sympathized “with the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, and the entire people of the state; and in particular, worshipers of St. Philips Catholic Church and families of the victims.
“We wish those injured quick recovery; and may the souls of the departed rest in the Lord,” Adeyeye noted.
While stating that the killings are a call for moral rearmament by all and sundry, the party said it was also a wake-up call for the government to do more in the area of protection of lives and property.
