The All Progressives Congress (APC) has postponed the reception of the Governor of Taraba State, Agbu Kefas, earlier scheduled for today, noting that a new date for the reception would be announced later.

The party, in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, claimed that the postponement was made as a mark of honour to members of the armed forces and citizens killed recently by forces of terror, and respect for victims of related incidents of abductions, especially the innocent students in Kebbi State by enemies of the state.

The statement read: “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 the victims of these incidents. 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.”
