Tinubu Mourns 40 Tijaniyya Members Killed in Kaduna Crash, Urges Road Safety
President Bola Tinubu expressed deep sorrow over the tragic death of 40 members of the Tijaniyya Movement, who lost their lives in a devastating auto accident.
The crash occurred on Sunday as the victims were returning from Kwandari in Plateau State, where they had gathered to celebrate Maulud in Saminaka, Kaduna State.
Their bus tragically collided with a truck in Lere, Kaduna State, leaving many others seriously injured.
In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu conveyed heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased, as well as to the people and governments of both Kaduna and Plateau States.
He shared in the grief of the Tijaniyya Movement and acknowledged the profound loss to the community.
The President also took a moment to pray for the souls of those who perished in the accident and wished a quick recovery for the injured.
In light of this heartbreaking event, he called on the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) to step up its efforts in monitoring highways across the country.
He emphasized the urgent need to improve road safety measures to prevent future accidents and safeguard the lives of Nigerians travelling on the nation’s highways.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
