Tinubu Condemns Killings In Adamawa, Maiduguri - Mhiz Rebecca - 12-12-2016
Former Lagos State Governor and All
Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on Monday
condemned the suicide bombings in
Madagali, Adamawa State and Maiduguri
Market in Borno State that led to the
death of so many innocent Nigerians.
Tinubu in a statement issued by his media
office said it was regrettable and hurtful
to see hundreds of lives lost needlessly in
the series of terrorists attack master
minded by the highly dreaded Boko
Haram sect.
He said, “These dastardly acts against
innocent lives must be condemned and
those behind it brought to justice. That is
what we all should be about and united
over- bringing these attacks to an end. On
this, I stand united with President
Muhammadu Buhari in his concerted effort
to restore security to the North-east and
other parts of Nigeria.
“Boko Haram terrorists will be defeated as
they engage in the antics of a drowning
man. I salute and encourage our men and
women in uniform not to relent. Nigerians
are proud of their exploits.
“As we pray for the country and our
troops for Boko Haram to come to an end,
I call on our Muslim brothers and sisters
across the country to also endeavour to
get involved in providing support for the
physically- displaced persons in the
North-east. This war will, and must come
to an end.
“I seek prayers for the souls of victims of
the suicide bombings in Madagali,
Adamawa State and Maiduguri Monday
Market in Borno State. It is regrettable
and hurtful to see hundreds of lives lost
needlessly.
“These dastardly acts against innocent
lives must be condemned and those
behind it brought to justice. That is what
we all should be about and united over-
bringing these attacks to an end-. On this,
I stand united with President Buhari in his
concerted effort to restore security to the
North-east and other parts of Nigeria.”
The APC stalwart also felicitated with
Muslims on the occasion of the Eid-el-
Maulud Festival, birth of Prophet
Mohammed (PBUH).
He urged Muslim faithful to imbibe the
virtues of Prophet Muhammed, which
include love, peaceful coexistence and
sacrifice, and to support President Buhari
as he tackles the nation’s problems,
particularly the present challenges posed
by the economic recession.
His words, “I felicitate with Muslim faithful
in the country on this occasion of Eid-el-
Maulud Festival (Birth of Prophet
Muhammed) (PBUH). I urge them to
imbibe the virtues of Prophet Muhammed,
among them love, peaceful co-existence
and sacrifice, and to exhibit those
attributes as we relate with one another.
“Let us also use the occasion to pray for
the country and for President
Muhammadu Buhari as he boldly
confronts the challenges facing the
country. The government needs our
support, understanding and indeed
sacrifice to end the present economic
recession. Surely, there would be light at
the end of the tunnel.
“I enjoin Muslims, indeed all Nigerians to
be on the alert: pay particular attention to
their security by being mindful of
movements around them, being watchful
of their surroundings and neighbours, by
cooperating with and giving security men
information when they suspect untoward
developments.
“I wish all Muslim faithful happy Eid-el-
Maulud celebration”.
