PDP ‘thanks God’ for saving Buhari in Kaduna blast
The Peoples Democratic Party is thankful to God for saving the life of former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari, who escaped death by the whiskers in Wednesday’s bombing at Kawo in Kaduna.
PDP’s spokesman, Olisa Metuh, who released a statement on Thursday on behalf of the ruling party,condemned “in strong terms” the Wednesday bombings in Kaduna, which claimed the lives of many innocent Nigerians.
He described the attacks as “dastardly and unfortunate”, and enjoined all well-meaning Nigerians to thank God for saving the lives of Buhari and Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, whose convoys were affected in the incident.
“We sincerely sympathise with General Buhari. Our hearts go out to him and all those affected in these wicked attacks,” the party said.
“We are shocked by the ugly development and we reiterate our call for all Nigerians to unite against acts of terrorism irrespective of ethnic, political and religious affiliations adding that it had become clear that anybody could be a target.”
It urged opposition leaders to be careful with their utterances regarding the unfortunate incident, saying that Nigerians must unite for the nation to win the war against terror.
The party also charged security agencies to ensure a thorough investigation of the attacks and intensify their efforts in the overall fight against insurgency.
This is not time for politics, please. The Just can not just be killed just cheaply. Buhari is a very straight forward personality. I cherish his dogma, his principles and everything he believes in. If actually he was the prime target of the attacks, then those attackers are horde of criminals fighting against the Truth. Thank God Buhari was not killed because what would have followed is better imagined! Allah Kiyaye.
