According to PREMIUM TIMES, the All Progressive Congress’ Interim National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, in a statement has appealed to the Islamist Boko Haram sect to cease all attacks and embrace dialogue in the interest of national peace and security.
He condemned the attacks on students of the College of Agriculture in Yobe 2 days ago, which left dozens dead and several others injured, calling it a dastardly, senseless and indefensible killing.
He implored traditional, religious, political and opinion leaders in the affected area to intervene and end the menace.
“We in the APC have been unrelenting in our advocacy for dialogue as a way of ending the insurgency. Fortunately, the government has also embraced dialogue, after initially resisting it as an option.
“Boko Haram should remember that they are not fighting an external war, and that their grievances, whatever they are, can never be resolved by continued killing, maiming and plundering.
“They must, therefore, put an immediate end to their cycle of violence and opt for dialogue. The longer this violence continues, the more difficult it becomes to resolve. Enough is enough!” it said.
