APC Donates N5m to Kano Bomb Blast Victims
The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday donated N5 million to victims of Friday’s bomb blast at the Kano Central Mosque.
The APC National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun, announced the donation when he paid a condolence visit to Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso at the Government House, Kano.
Oyegun, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said the party deemed it necessary to donate the token in order to support the victims of the most unfortunate incident.
Oyegun has warned that unless something drastic is done the country could be creeping towards anarchy.
He further questioned the inability of the government to quell the insurgents’ activities in the country.
In a situation whereby there is government and security but they are not willing to control the insurgents activities.
“We are partially creeping towards anarchy in this country, and my personal fear is that one day we will wake up and find out that the country is ungovernable.
Continuing, he added: “God put us together in this country but some people have allowed devil to be working on them.
“The leadership of this country has failed to take action over the happening of issues in this country and other countries are laughing at us because our leaders failed to address this insecurity challenges.” “I want, to on behalf of the APC, to convey a truly heartfelt condolence and sympathy to the government and people of Kano State over the sad incident.
“We share your grief and the people of Kano over the sad and unfortunate event. We wish to make a token donation of five million naira in support of the victims of the blast,’’ he said.
He said the recent incidents in Kano State and Damaturu clearly underscored the need for increased, concerted efforts to end the insurgent activities, to save the country from anarchy.
He, however, commended Kano State Government for the support and assistance it extended to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from the North-east.
“Let me use this opportunity to commend you because we are not unaware of the support and assistance you are giving to IDPs from the North-East.’’
