Buhari prays for bereaved.
Former Head of State, Major General Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the series of bombings that took place in four states on Christmas Day.
In a statement his spokesman, Yinka Odumakin, said the General, who was the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) presidential candidate in April 2011 election, commiserated with all those who have lost their loved ones in these heinous acts of terror and prays that the Almighty would grant them the fortitude to bear their irreparable losses.
He urged all people of goodwill to condemn these occurrences that have sent sorrows to many families in a festive season. “
Bombing other human beings to death at any time is callous. It becomes much more reprehensible on a Christmas and all lovers of peace must condemn this gruesome acts and demand that the perpetrators be fished out and brought to book”he said.
He is, however, worried about the seeming mute indifference of the Nigerian authorities to these unfortunate incidents. “How on earth would the Vatican and the British authorities speak before the Nigerian government on attacks within Nigeria that have led to the deaths of our citizens?This is clearly a failure of leadership at a time the government needs to assure the people of their security. to guarantee the safety of lives and property”he added.
He called on the Federal Government to rise up to the challenge of security in our country and not to believe that it’s just about voting almost a quarter of the budget to security. “You can devote the entire budget to security and there won’t be any result if there is no competence in leadership to know what to do at the right time”
