The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned terrorist bomb attack on a mosque in the University of Maiduguri.
The ruling party in a statement issued on Tuesday January 17, in Abuja and signed by Bolaji Abdullahi the national publicity secretary, condoled with the families of victims of the bomb blasts, adding that that the days of the Boko Haram terrorists are numbered.
APC also strongly condemned “this cowardly act by Boko Haram”, saying it views “this latest act of terror as another confirmation of the group’s desperation to remain in the national consciousness, having lost its former stronghold to the Nigerian Army”.
