The bandits killed the vice-principal of the school, Hassan Yakubu Makuku.
The PDP, in a statement on Monday, said the tragic incident further highlighted the insecurity challenge facing Nigeria.
It commiserated with the parents of the abducted students, the family of the slain teacher, staff, students, management of the affected school, and the Kebbi government.
The PDP stressed the need for the government to accept responsibility and address the issues decisively.
The party said apart from the Kebbi school attack, other abductions occurred in Nasarawa, Plateau, Kano, and Katsina in recent times, emphasising the need to address the menace.

According to the party, Nigeria does not need a threat from a foreign country before addressing the challenge.
