APC Commiserates With Adamawa Govt Over EndSARS Protests

The opposition All Progressives  Congress (APC) in Adamawa State has commiserated with the state government on the ugly incident of EndSARS  protest that turned violent.
The commiseration is contained in a statement issued by  Mohammed Abdullahi, the party’s state publicity secretary, on Saturday in Yola.
Abdullahi said that the party’s sympathy was necessary as stakeholders in the peace enterprise of the dear state.
“We commiserate with the Government and people of Adamawa State over the unfortunate incident of the past few days.
“We strongly condemn the action of those who took the law into their hands and went on a looting spree of government warehouses and offices of state and federal government agencies.
“ We felt much more concerned because the theft and looting was extended to the property of innocent individuals who are helping in the economic growth of the state,” Abdullahi said.
He said that the party observed that the ugly incident could have been avoided if the state government had  distributed the various palliatives for the COVID-19 pandemic found in the warehouses in time.
“We  equally appreciate the effort of the state government and security agencies in restoring law and order after the unfortunate incident “ Abdullahi said.
He said that the party at the state level was not in support of house-to-house search as declared by the state government for looted property as doing so was a move to infringe  on the privacy and right of the citizens.
“Finally, we want to call on the people of our dear state, most especially the youth who are leaders of tomorrow to embrace peace and remain law- abiding”, he added.
“Looting, stealing, destroying property or lawlessness is not in our culture.
“We shouldn’t allow others with unpatriotic tendencies to influence us.
“Let’s unite and make Adamawa a peaceful state irrespective of our political differences, religious affiliation or ethnic considerations,” he said.
