Killings: PDP Declares 7 Days Mourning, …Flies Flags at half-mast

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) declares a seven-day mourning for the victims of the gruesome 
killings of innocent Nigerians by marauders and bandits in Plateau state 
and other parts of the country

Consequently, the party directs that its flags at all its offices and 
formation at all levels across the country be flown at half-mast during 
the period in honour of the victims.

The PDP urges the people of Plateau state to exercise their rights as 
global citizens, work with other public-spirited Nigerians and groups 
and take President Muhammadu Buhari and his government to the 
International Court of Justice at the Hague for acting helpless in the 
face of continuous mass killings in our country.

The PDP firmly holds that the life of every Nigerian is sacred. All 
Nigerians must be protected whether they are Birom, Basange, Igbira, 
Tiv, Idoma, Hausa, Igbo, Fulani, Gbagyi, Yoruba or from any other tribe 
whatsoever.

The fundamental duty of government all over the world is the protection 
of lives and we can no longer afford to continue to fold our hands while 
compatriots are daily hacked down by marauders.
