PRESIDENT of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the Tuesday, attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), warning those playing hateful politics with the dastardly act to desist.
Reacting to the killing of three military officers during the attack, he said the attack coincided with a time the military had put insurgents, bandits, kidnappers, and other types of criminals on the retreat.
According to him, the latest heinous action would accelerate the total uprooting of evil in the polity.
He said members of the Armed Forces are solidly resolved to accomplish the goal in the shortest possible time.
Commiserating with the families who lost their loved ones, and praying God to comfort them, President Buhari vowed that the deceased would not die in vain.
The President said the degenerate act would have consequences that will eventually clean the country of vermin, and emancipate the polity from deliberate, targeted and contrived atrocious acts.
The President thanked all Nigerians who value and appreciate the efforts of our military.
He urged those playing hateful politics with the dastardly act to desist.
Rather than recriminations, this is the time for all patriots and people of goodwill to support and encourage those who are in the vanguard of the battle against wickedness in the land.
