Northern Govs Condemn Abuja Explosion, Urge Vigilance

The Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) has condemned the bomb blast that killed many people and injured several others at a bus station in Nyanya, Abuja on Monday, saying there is no basis for what the perpetrators did, adding that the loss of innocent lives due to the explosion was regrettable.
Chairman of the forum and Governor of Niger State, Dr Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu expressed the forum’s deepest condolences to the families of the victims, saying no grievance can justify such a dastardly act against defenceless citizens.          

 in a statement signed by Governor Aliyu’s Chief Press Secretary, Danladi Ndayebo, the forum called for vigilance, emphasizing that the issue of security should not be left to security agents alone.

“The issue of security should not be left to government alone. All hands must be on deck to stop the activities of terrorists which have left hundreds of innocent Nigerians either dead orwounded”, the statement said.
The statement urged security agencies not to be discouraged by the activities of terrorists, emphasizing that the nation would forever remain grateful to the military and other security agencies for the successes recorded so far in the war against terror.
The Governors prayed God to grant the souls of the deceased eternal rest and members of their families the fortitude to bear the loss.
End.
