The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Wednesday challenged the All Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal Government of President Muhammadu Buhari to live up to its responsibility of protecting Nigerians.
The party made the call while reacting to the feared adoption of female students at a secondary school in Dapchi, Yobe state.
In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the former ruling party also urged the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Ibrahim Idris to put measures in place to ensure that the missing girls are rescued.
The statement reads, “PDP is shocked by reports that 94 Nigerian female students have been declared missing after insurgents attacked the Girls Secondary School Dapchi, Yobe state on Tuesday.
“Indeed, we are very disturbed by this ugly development especially given the conflicting reports on the whereabouts of these innocent girls.
“Our party restates that the life, safety and wellbeing of all Nigerians remain of paramount importance to us and we therefore insist that all efforts must be exerted to find these students.
“The PDP is monitoring development on the position of the Nigeria Police investigation of the matter. We however charge the Inspector General of Police to immediately put all machinery in place to unravel this disturbing situation and recover the missing children.
“We also urge the All Progressives Congress (APC)-controlled Federal Government to live up to its basic responsibility of protecting lives and property in our country.”
