Insecurity: APC governors beg Nigerians for unity
By Emmanuel Awosika
The Progressives Governors Forum has appealed to Nigerians to put sentiments aside and unite to solve the nation’s security problems.
This was contained in a statement titled “Merry Christmas and 59 Happy Cheers to PGF Chairman, HE Abubakar Atiku Bagudu,” signed by the PTF Treasurer and Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello on Friday.
The PGF is a group of state governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
While felicitating with Nigerians on the celebration of Christmas, the group wished Abubakar Badudu, Kebbi State Governor and PGF Chairman, a happy 59th birthday anniversary.
The statement read in part: “The PGF enjoins all Nigerians to unite and work together irrespective of our differences to resolve all our security challenges.
“Under the leadership of His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Forum members are confident that the nation will overcome all security challenges.
“We also wish to felicitate with our PGF Chairman, HE Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, on the occasion of his 59th birthday on December 26, 2020.
“Forum members join him, his family and people of Kebbi State to celebrate the blessed life of a unifying leader and an outstandingly progressive politician.
“Forum, our party and indeed all APC members across the country, acknowledge and commend the leadership, vision and commitment to a united prosperous Nigeria of this illustrious personality.”
Recently, the Northern Nigerian region has been plagued by insecurity, including killings, abductions and rampant banditry.
