Press Release
Peoples Democratic Party chieftain in Kwara State, Senator Gbemisola Ruqayat Saraki (GRS) has condemed the terror attack on a bus station at Nyanya Abuja and other parts of the country describing it as an act against humanity, just as she condoles with families of the early morning blast victims and prayed that God will grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.
Saraki in a release by her Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Sola Shittu, urged government and the entire Nigerians to unite and fight what she described as “our common enemy”.
According to her, “insecurity in any part of this country, whether in Maiduguri, Sokoto or Yobe is insecurity for everyone of us. What happened this morning could happen to anyone of us anywhere in Nigeria. My heart bleeds for the victims of today’s blast. I was crying when I saw the pictures of the victims on the social media.
These are hard working Nigerians who woke up early in search of their daily bread and that is why I am calling on everybody irrespective of their party or religious affiliation to unite with this government and fight this common enemy”.
She appealed to all Nigerians to be more security conscious in their various places of abode and also cooperate with security agencies in the fight against insurgence and acts of terrorism in the country.
Senator Gbemi Saraki also called on the federal government to intensify its efforts in the fight against terrorism saying until peace is restored in every part of the country government should not rest on its oars.
While acknowledging that government has invested a lot in the security of the country, she however said more still need to be done because of the vast nature of the country and her porous borders.
