The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the Federal and State Governments to take immediate action and protect the lives of citizens.
The move is necessary following the recent Christmas eve explosion.
The party stressed that Nigerians needed concrete, actionable security strategies deployed on the ground during yuletide.
The party made the call in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, in Abuja, while reacting to the Christmas eve explosion in a mosque in Gamboru Market, Maiduguri.
Ememobong said that the news of the explosion served as another sad reminder of the rising insecurity facing Nigerians.
He described the incident as totally unacceptable; urging that the menace should be confronted with the urgency and seriousness it deserved.
“We commiserate with the families of those who have lost their loved ones in this senseless attack.
“No one should lose their life while worshipping God. If these attacks on places of worship continue unchecked, they will not only violate the constitutional right of Nigerians to freely worship but will also create an atmosphere of fear that threatens the very fabric of our religious society,” he said.
