Northern governors' forumThe Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) has condemned the bomb blast that killed many people and injured several others at a bus station in Nyanya, Abuja on Monday.

They said that there was no basis for what the perpetrators did, adding that the loss of innocent lives due to the explosion was regrettable.

Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Niger State, Muazu Aliyu, in a statement, expressed the forum’s deepest condolences to the families of the victims, saying no grievance could justify such a dastardly act against defenceless citizens.

“The issue of security should not be left to Government alone. All hands must be on deck to stop the activities of terrorists which have left hundreds of innocent Nigerians either dead or wounded”, the statement read.

The statement urged security agencies not to be discouraged by the activities of terrorists, emphasizing that the nation would forever remain grateful to the military and other security agencies for the successes recorded so far in the war against terror.

The Governors also prayed God to grant the souls of the deceased eternal rest and members of their families the fortitude to bear the loss.
