Rivers: IPAC spits fire over bombing of APP secretariat

The Inter-Party Advisory Council, IPAC, has condemned the bombing of the Action Peoples Party, APP, secretariat in Rivers State.

The Council called on President Bola Tinubu to take a decisive action and bring the perpetrators to justice.

IPAC, in a statement signed by Mrs Chinyere Kalu, its National Publicity Secretary, strongly condemned the attack which occurred in the early hours of Monday.

“This heinous act has not only caused panic and terrorized peaceful residents but also threatened the fragile political stability of our nation,” the Council said.

As the umbrella body of all political parties in Nigeria, IPAC, said it was deeply troubled by the escalating trend of political violence and terrorism.

“We urge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take swift and decisive action to address this menace, which poses a significant threat to our democratic values and national security.

“The bombing of APP’s Secretariat is a brazen attack on democracy, the rule of law, and the very fabric of our society.

“It is a stark reminder that political extremism and terrorism can undermine our two and a half decades of unbroken democracy, emboldening those who seek to destroy our nation.

“This Bombing cannot be unconnected with desperate politicians seeking control of all the political structures in the state and are not ready for an alternative view and vibrant opposition.

“These reactionary elements should allow democracy to strive in the state and should not see politics as a do or die venture.

“IPAC warns that any form of terrorism in the federation can be exploited by criminal elements to further their ill-conceived agenda. Therefore, we implore President Tinubu to direct security agencies to:

“Conduct a thorough investigation into the bombing; Identify and prosecute the perpetrators; Take proactive measures to prevent future attacks,” the statement added.

The Council further called on “all political parties, stakeholders, and Nigerians to: condemn this act of violence; promote peace, unity, and democratic values; support the government’s efforts to combat political extremism and terrorism”.
