The All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party on Friday clashed over the worsening insecurity in Nigeria.
This was as the nation marked the 2021 edition of the Armed Forces Remembrance Day.
While the APC urged Nigerians to avoid playing politics with the issue of security, the PDP advised the APC to end propaganda and secure Nigerians lives.
The APC made its appeal to Nigerians in a statement titled, “#AFRD2021: APC Hails Military Successes, Remembers Fallen Heroes,” signed by the National Secretary of the party, Senator Akpanudoedehe.
The statement commended officers and men of the military for laying down their lives in the defence of Nigeria’s territorial integrity.

The Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, and other major ethnic groups have kicked against the request of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, for inclusion of its members in the South-West Security Network, also known as Amotekun.
MACBAN had earlier made the request stressing that this is a way of overcoming the language barrier, which sometimes causes misunderstanding.
This has, however, elicited angry reactions from other ethnic groups like Afenifere, Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, and the Middle Belt Forum, according to Vanguard.
