The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has donated N100m to the families of the vigilantes
killed by terrorists and all those affected by the attacks in Bakori Local
Government Area of Katsina State.
This is just as the APC presidential road show and
programmes of celebration were canceled in Katsina yesterday over the incident.
A presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, in a statement, said
the mega rally in which President Muhammadu Buhari and Tinubu were star
attractions was tamed as speaker after speaker took to the microphone to
express sorrow over the tragic killings.
Shehu said Buhari led leaders, members and presidential candidate of the APC in vilifying the evil of terrorism that had deprived many of loved ones, while prodding citizens to continue working collectively for the good of the state, and nation.
Governor Bello Masari thanked Tinubu for the donation to the
families of all those affected by the attacks.
APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, said the party would
continue on the path of patience and steadfastness in growing the state and the
nation.
Tinubu condoled with Buhari and Masari over the attacks.
“Yesterday, we discussed whether we should continue or
cancel the rally. If we had cancelled, they’ll appear to have achieved their
aim.
“Nothing happens in life without the will of the Almighty
Allah. We’ll continue with our rallies, and ignore the killers. They’ve
committed a heinous crime before God and against humanity. No religion or
society will tolerate killing of the innocent.
“We share in the pain, and sorrow of loss. Only Allah can
soothe the pains of the widows and widowers, and all the loved ones. The
killers have not won, and they will never win. The wicked shall perish. We’ll
defeat the troublers of Nigeria,’’ he said.
Tinubu said Buhari abhorred violence, unfairness and
injustice, and would not tolerate the mayhem by the terrorists.
