More reactions on the terror threat as National Publicity Secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Rufus Aiyenigba, said the alert should not be politicised because the United States Embassy is not known to issue statements for the fun of it.

In the same vein, Spokesperson of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Egbeola Wale-Martins, noted that the security situation in the country calls for action, not rhetoric.

However, the presidential candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Yabagi Sani, has dismissed the security alert, saying “Nigeria won’t succumb to this, adding that if truly, they had an intelligence report, they should have given such to our security agencies.
