The presidential candidate of the APC , General Muhammadu
Buhari, has expressed outrage and grief at the latest
terrorist suicide bomb attacks in Maiduguri , which left at
least 54 innocent people dead.
In a condolence message he issued in Abuja on Monday
through his media campaign committee , General Buhari said
the frequency with which terrorists destroy lives and
property embarrassed him beyond measure , and that
tackling such indiscriminate violence would be on top of
priorities once elected into office.
According to him, terrorist violence has achieved nothing
good for anybody and that his administration would confront
this insecurity problem with determination and remarkable
zeal.
The APC presidential candidate explained that nothing can
justify this endless and brutal terrorist violence targeted at
innocent people , which has also destroyed the economic and
social life of the people in areas where terrorists are
notoriously active .
General Muhammadu Buhari , however , called for increased
vigilance among the people . He said the ease with which
suicide bombers blend with law - abiding citizens and reach
their targets undetected is disturbing .
He explained that majority of the people have no idea about
the features and characteristics of suicide bombers , and
cannot , therefore , identify such killers in their company .
The statement extended Buhari’ s condolences to the
families of the victims of the latest terrorist attacks on
Maiduguri.
General Buhari has also condoled the families of the recent
violence in Rivers State in which some unidentified gunmen
attacked and killed APC supporter in the state . He said
violence benefits nobody and, instead, it sets back the
progress of the country.
