Abuja — National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, Thursday, said that security agencies must bring to book those behind the massacre of forty students of the Federal Polytechnic Mubi, Adamawa State and the School of Health Technology, Mubi last Monday.

Speaking during a breakfast meeting with a delegation from Ekiti state PDP led by Kayode Adaramodu who came to commiserate with him over the wanton killings in his home state, Adamawa state, the PDP National Chairman who condemned the ugly incident, however vowed that if fished out, they must be face the full wrath of the law to serve as deterrent to others.

Tukur who noted that "enough is enough" of the killings, said, "Every Nigerian must condemn what happened. The killing of these students is unwarranted and uncalled for. What joy does the masterminds of these dastardly derive from the deaths and shedding of innocents bloods? We are parents, how would the parents of these students feel.

"You sent your children to school to study and the next thing is that his or her corpse is brought back to you. How do you expect them to feel."

"It was first the killing of members of the National Youths Service Corps, now they have graduated into going into the campus to kill the students. This must stop and the federal, state governments and the security agencies must ensure the protection of lives."

    PDP as a political party have nothing to do with Igbo or Southern States and their citizens , It hurts to align that cult of looters and political briganders who run that shameful organ with any of the ethnic population of the Southern States of Nigeria. Citizens in my State have been the worst off in terms of economic deprivation and local infrastructures such as Schools, roads ,water and electricity have become unbelievably impossible luxury at a time when the nation's economy have witnessed massive oil income . On the other hand , brutal inequality through delibrate and unsupervised corruption have become the social norm and the Presiding Chief Executive of the nation seem to enjoy the atmosphere of Billionaire and trillionaires club whose stategy is to hunt hard working few Public Officials who refuse to among the looters out from giving their honest service to the nation . Ngozi -Iweala and CBN Governor are newest example . Nigeria is a sick baby under the most inefficiant peadiatrist , unless this cursed regime is swept out of the nations government , there will continue to be darkness in developement of that country. I wish someone with moral and ethical authority can replace Jonathan come the next election , his first and national requirement will be to go after these shameless looters in the Senate and Public office to ensure they regurgitate all ooted national wealth and return them to develope the nation . We have more than enough to become much better than current nations from whom we're lobbying for borrowing to fund infrastructure and national developemnt objectives .Senate and House members have national duty to sanction or remove an incompetent President with tools under state provision rather than spent nations paid capital to harrass well educated and brilliant personnel who devote their life to give their all to the nation .
