All Progressives Congress National Leader, Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, sympathised with the families of the victims of an Abuja-Kaduna train attack.
Terrorists had attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train on Monday night with hundreds of engers on board.

The former Lagos State governor from 1999 t0 2007 said the attack by marauders on harmless engers was a “national tragedy” and over 60 persons lost their lives to the terror.

He made this known at Eko Hotels in Lagos, the venue of the 13th Bola Ahmed Tinubu Colloquium with the theme, ‘Pivoting Nigeria Into The New Order’.

The APC presidential aspirant also cancelled his 13th Birthday Colloquium to honour the victims of the train attack.

He said, “Today is supposed to be a very joyful 70th birthday of mine living on earth. I give thanks to God Almighty for being able to survive to this age…

“I have just been informed of a very sad incident in our country, very sad indeed, that over 60 people and many more were killed and bombed on a train between Kaduna and Abuja just last night. That is a very serious incident about the security of lives in this country and it calls for a very serious sober reflection.

“For me to be here celebrating, dancing and enjoying myself doesn’t show enough concern of a statesman and a senior citizen of this country.

“This event should not be holding. I have consulted with the people you see around me here and they’ve agreed with me and being a very highly committed democrat, I have given myself to their suggestion that they agreed that this event be cancelled.”


The APC leader, alongside hundreds of others at the event, thereafter observed one-minute silence for the lives lost in the spirit of “national tragedy and concern”.

Tinubu urged the clergies at the event to pray for the repose of the soul of the departed and for comfort for their bereaved family .

For years, Kaduna has become a killing field for bandits and terrorists who operate with ferocious fury while security agents allegedly looked away.
The killings have become more worrisome because the military has a heavy presence in Kaduna with no fewer than six military formations in the city. The military formations include Jaji Military Cantonment; 1 Mech.

Division Headquarters, Nigerian Army, Kaduna; New Barracks, otherwise known as ‘Kotoko’ Barracks; Old Site of the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna; Kalanpazi Barracks (Artillery Regiment) and the Nigerian Air Force Base.

The Kaduna State government had detailed a territory under siege in its novel annual security report 2020 when it said 937 persons died that year while 1,972 others were kidnapped.

It also said 3,348 residents were kidnapped in 2021, and 1,192 deaths recorded, which is 27.21 per cent higher than the number killed in 2020.

How does he know over 60 people were killed. Where did he get this information from. How did he get it and when did he get it.


May Almighty God give the families of the deceased the fortitude to bear the loss and may he give the security institutions the wisdom and strength to bring to justice those responsible for this carnage that has befell our nation

Keep ya sympathy
Can't give u the president
Where are the cows, u seems to forget your perculiar line

60 ke?

When C and ACN came together, I never saw it as a good alliance.
Now look at where we are today. I need a candidate from another party not APC and PDP.

I didn't vote APC and PDP last presidential election and some people said I wasted my vote.

Don't let people intimidate you for voting your choice.

But them say na 7 itz alright

Mumu man...

For over 7 years killings by bandits have occurred you never uttered a word or condemned it.

Now you are warming to take over(in your dreams) you are acting the movie of canceling you 82nd birthday and speaking out...

Nature will judge all of you

ganisucks:

Are you another BMC member?

Don't worry your own time is coming. Continue defending rubbish.

My anger is that, WICKEDNESS prevented Buhari from making such project in SE just as FOOLISHNESS prevented GEJ from making projects in SE.

Buhari foolishly took loan to built train station for people that doesn't value it. Just imagine such train station was built in Aba connecting it to Akwa-Cross. Wickedness is the reason why we are yet to progress. Now, All Nigerians are going to pay the loan used to build these train station. Waste of hard resources because of hatred towards people that actually needs it

If Jagaban has an iota of conscience, he would denounce his presidential aspirations today and apologize to Nigerians.

Obviously a mistake......but trust the human scum to spin it into political shots at him.

Over 60 engers?. Where did he get this information from?

Just like that?
How many peopl3 entered the train?

No, am not holding brief for anyone. All I am stating is that the NDA has not come out with the number of casualties or victims so how does he know the number of casualties. None of the security outfits has informed us of the number. This is a big gaffe from his campaign media

Obalacam:

When a Man from a Ruling party gives you a figure, just know that he is not being sincere in the sense that he reduced the actual number. We shouldn't be worried that he gave 60 as the amount of victims, we should be worried that more people may have perished and News is trying not to create Panic amount the masses

60 and the entire country is silent?

Tinubu is throwing buhari under the bus by even exagarating the number that haven't been confirmed yet

The dirty fight he promised isn't even hidden again, calling Buhari a failure yet you want to continue his "legacy"

BSdetective:

mistake everytime

Oops I forgot he is senile

Using cassava to feed 2million youth too is a mistake

Northernblood5:
. You and I knew that he wasn't being sincere. To them everything is all about politics

And, one thoughtless @ganisucks asked the question. How did he know 60 people were killed, including when did he know and who told him.

REASONABLE GENTLEMEN, SHOULD THE ABOVE BE WRITTEN BY ANY HUMAN WITH FEELINGS.

What has the above ABSURD THOUGHTLESS and INSENSITIVE exhibition of the ROT in the cranium of an apparent ANIMAL got to do with the loss of a SINGLE SOUL, even?

The IDIOCY in @ganisucks did not deem it fit to offer the slightest consolation and or commiseration with the families of the victim, rather condemned he who did.

SOME ARE ANIMALS IN HUMAN SKIN, TRULY. Ala, Fela.

Read there were about 970 people on the train, 60 lives lost may not be far from the truth

None of the media houses or the security apparatus have come out to inform the public of the number of casualties. Where did he get this number from. Is there a leak in NDA. Who is his source. His media team has made a big gaffe

Massiveglory:

So you need someone that lacks conscience in presidency? (This is just cruise oo). Seriously, the reason Jagaban will most likely win is because good people don't have enough money to pursue the kind of aggressive campaign that he's doing. You see, the poor are easily deceived. By sweet-talking them and giving them money, they'll easily be swayed. This is a mere campaign move.

Like when did tinubu start reporting on tragedies, even giving actual number of victims?

so Na lives una dey use do permutations like this so

How about wishing his family is among the numbers since he is catching orgasm from knowing multiple people died

Lol. Tinubu is a valuable source.

Soo this BMC thing is real?

Over 60 people killed?

Is your father the God that will determine who will become the president or you think the more foolish you chose to be the close you are to determine who the president is.

Minime10:

Can't give u the president
Where are the cows, u seems to forget your perculiar line

But the Pandora criminal should not denounce his n apologize for his Pandora looting ba ? When they say many of Igbos are extremely foolish you are a typical example of the foolish one.

In that case you will have to wait for a very long time. Reality is vote out apc and by voting pdp.
