“Totally Unacceptable”! Babaginda Condemns Bombings
"To state the least, this blood letting must stop. This
bloodletting has to stop"
The former military president General Ibrahim
Babaginda has condemned the bombings in the
country, most especially the bomb attacks in
Kaduna.
"It is callous and inhuman for anyone to goad this
country on the path of perfidy, a path that is laid
with landmines and bombs. This is totally
unacceptable." he said.
Read the full statement;
"
Let me also condole with Mr. President on this
unfortunate incident and the recurring decimal of
insecurity and crime against humanity that is fast
polluting public morality. We all must join hands
with Mr. President at this critical time of our
national history and democratic journey to
proffer solutions to this anti-development
scenario that is fast enveloping us.
I have sat back in my quiet retirement home in
Minna to ponder over what could be the
motivation for these several attacks, but I am yet
to find any explanation why Nigerians would be
killing fellow Nigerians. For those of us who
fought the civil war, our painful sense of
nostalgia still remains deep, as much as our
patriotic attitude towards this great country,
Nigeria. These wanton killings and needless
bloodletting have continued to retard our growth
and democratic journey, forcing the system to
improvise all manners of mechanisms to arrest
this descent to anarchy.
Even as I sympathise with my colleague, former
president, General Mohammadu Buhari, for
escaping the bomber's scalpel, I also wish to
condole with the families of those who lost their
lives in this attack. It is frightening and calls for
condemnation by all well-meaning people of
Nigeria. We all must rise above partisanship in
our condemnation of this state of insecurity, as
we all must be united in our clear-cut resolve to
finding solutions to this hydra-headed situation
we find ourselves.
The president and our governors need our
prayers at various stages of their leadership to
arrest this ugly trend. Nigeria of our dream is one
that provides opportunity for all irrespective of
our cultural and political differences; a nation
that comprises several nation-states with
abundant resources and opportunities for our
flourishing population. We must, therefore, be
resolute in our collective reasoning and
determination to trudge on despite these obvious
setbacks to safely paddle the ship of state to a
safe harbour.
