The Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed has described
Sunday’s twin tragedy of a commercial flight crash in Lagos State and
the Church bomb blast in Bauchi as unfortunate and national disaster of
monumental proportions.
Governor Ahmed, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary,
Alhaji Abdulwahab Oba, said the plane crash with many passengers on
board and the Bauchi Bomb Blast as incidents that call for sober
reflection on the state of affairs in the country.
The Bauchi incident , the governor noted, further underscores the
fact that the spate of security challenge calls for collective efforts
of all Nigerians to tackle as “all of us must be watchdogs and advocates
for peace as security agencies cannot do it alone.”
Alhaji Ahmed also noted that it was imperative that Nigerians
embrace the spirit of brotherliness and avoid tendencies and attitudes
that underscore our differences, adding that we have a lot that unites
us as a people.
Alhaji Ahmed, who advised aviation authorities to stop at nothing in
finding out the caused of the Iju plane crash in order to avert future
occurrence, prayed God to grant families of the victims of the two
unfortunate incidents the fortitude to bear the loss.
