The All Progressives Congress (APC) has given reason for the postponement of the reception of Taraba State governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas earlier scheduled to hold today, saying it is in honour of members of the armed forces and citizens killed recently by forces of terror.
The party said this is also in respect for victims of related incidents of abductions especially of innocent students in Kebbi State by enemies of the state, and that a new date for the reception would be announced later.
In a release issued in Abuja on Tuesday by the National Publicity Secretary of APC, Felix Morka, the party saluted the courage of various security agents in the country who are fighting tooth and nail to keep Nigeria safe.
According to APC, “We salute the courage and sacrifices of our men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line in defence of our liberty and security.
“As we mourn the death of our dear compatriots, we pray for the safe return of our innocent students taken from their families by forces of evil.
Our great Party commiserates deeply with families of victims of these incidents.
“The President Bola Tinubu-led administration remains determined to stamp out the menace of insurgency and banditry within our borders and bring these despicable perpetrators to justice”.
