Speaker Aminu Tambuwal of the Federal House of Representatives on Wednesday condemned the continuous attacks on states in the north-eastern part of the country.
According to Tambuwal, the situation is getting out of hand and Nigerians are getting tired of excuses for the inability of the government to quell these attacks.
Describing the attack on students of the Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, Yobe State as horrendous, Rt. Hon. Tambuwal in a statement issued in Abuja by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Malam Imam Imam urged security agencies to re-strategise in their efforts to curb the incessant attacks.
“While attending prayers organised to mark the 89th birthday celebration of former President Shehu Shagari in Sokoto, my attention was drawn to the horrendous act of barbarity visited on innocent college students in Yobe State.
“My first thoughts go to the families and friends of the kids brutally gunned down in an act of cowardice by people whose humanity must be called to question.
“While we must all join hands to bring this insanity to an end, we must however bear in mind that we are running out of excuses in our responsibility to our citizens.
“We in the House of Representatives feel the grief and pain of the families of the victims. In this their hour of need, we will stand with them hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder. We assure them that as brothers, we will continue to confront headlong, the threats of terror facing our nation, and we know we will come out stronger, and victorious”, he said, adding that getting the perpetrators to account for the gruesome act is one of the best ways to console families of victims.
He further advised Nigerians to be more vigilant and assist security agencies with useful information.
