President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has condemned in strong terms Sunday’s bomb attack on innocent worshippers at a church in Potiskum , Yobe state.
“My heart is with individuals and families who were directly or indirectly affected by this ungodly, sadistic and evil act,” Saraki said in a statement from his Media Office in Abuja.
Saraki added: “Sending Nigerians to their untimely grave can never be the solution to any religious, political or economic grievances.
“Besides, the Federal Government has demonstrated enough political will to engage any group in dialogue aimed at bringing these vicious and sad attacks to a final stop.
“The recent position of the Federal Government that it would not oppose negotiation with the insurgents ‘if the Boko Haram terrorist group opt for it’ ought to be seen as an olive branch extended to the sect by the present administration. And I urge them to take advantage of that opportunity to drop their weapons.
“I urge Nigerians not to give in to fear or be discouraged as a result of these renewed attacks as the Senate and the National Assembly under my leadership will maximally support President Muhammadu Buhari in his determination to retool and motivate the Armed Forces to decisively prosecute the war against terrorism”, the Senate President said.
He commended the military for their timely response and urged them to do all in their power to prevent this type of dastardly attacks in future.
Saraki further urged all Nigerians, especially the Muslim faithful, to use the holy month of Ramadan to seek God’s intervention on ways and means to end all forms of insecurity in the country. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteThis guy too is talking rubbish, so they will drop weapons go back to live in the midst of the people that papa was slauthered, mama was slauthered, husband slauthered, wife raped and killed, children kidnapped and raped finally used as tools for bombing, grand pa & grand ma killed, and u are there talking guther from ur dirty mouth aftet wearing agbada and covering ur useless caused head with dirty cap. If it was ur wife or dauther that was kidmapped raped and killed will u be able to talk of amnesty to these animals. I dnt blame the president himself who initiated the amnesty on bbc, if himself could say blood of barboon would mix with that of dogs, is it not what we are experiencing today. So the people that are bombed their lives dnt matter that is why he wants to give amnesty.
