A former Vice President of Nigeria and 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has reacted after four suicide bombers killed many people in Borno state on Saturday.
Daily Trust had earlier reported that many people including a soldier and some wedding guests have been killed, and several others injured on Saturday, when four suicide bombers launched attacks at different spots in Gwoza and Pulka towns of Borno state.
Atiku Abubakar stated on his verified Twitter page on Sunday; "It is a sad development that the ugly incidents of terrorism are resurfacing and, indeed, metastasising in the North-East. The reported attack by suicide bombers at a wedding reception, funeral procession, and a hospital on Saturday stands condemned."
He added; "It is unfortunate that much of the pushback that had been achieved against the Boko Haram terror sect are being cancelled, owing mainly to the government’s lacklustre posture to hold firmly on the frontline."
The former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar stated further; "It is thus important to call on the federal authorities to wake up to their responsibility and to make sure that the North-East does not slide back into a theatre of terrorism and extreme violence. My condolences go to the families of victims of these attacks, and it is my prayer that God grants a peaceful repose to the souls of the departed. -AA"
